Q: Explain the shape of the I-V graph of the filament lamp?

1 answer:

Answer:

initially- with positive potential differences - the current is directly proportional to the p.d. However, as the current through the filament increases, the heating effect caused in the lamp also increases and so the temperature of the filament rises. This increase in the filament's temperature also increases the resistance of the filament. As a result the rate of increase of the current decreases and a greater change in the potential difference is required to cause a change in the current. This can be seen on the curve as the gradient becomes more shallow (greater resistance). This same pattern is repeated when a negative potential difference is applied across the filament

Imagine that two balls, a basketball and a much larger exercise ball, are dropped from a parking garage. If both the mass and ra

pashok25 [27]

Here if we assume that there is no air friction on both balls then we can say

$F = mg$

now the acceleration is given as

$F = ma = mg$

$a = g$

so here both the balls will have same acceleration irrespective of size and mass

so we can say that to find out the time of fall of ball we can use

$y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

now from above equation we can say that time taken to hit the ground will be same for both balls and it is irrespective of its mass and size

Three joules of work is needed to shift 10 C of charge from one place to another. The potential difference between the places is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

The potential difference between the places is 0.3 V.

∴ 1st option i.e. 0.3V is the correct option.

Explanation:

Given

Work done W = 3J

Amount of Charge q = 10C

To determine

We need to determine the potential difference V between the places.

The potential difference between the two points can be determined using the formula

Potential Difference (V) = Work Done (W) / Amount of Charge (q)

or

$\:V\:=\:\frac{W}{q}$

substituting W = 3 and q = 10 in the formula

$V=\frac{3}{10}$

$V=0.3$ V

Therefore, the potential difference between the places is 0.3 V.

∴ 1st option i.e. 0.3V is the correct option.

This illustration shows two opposing forces pulling on a wagon. Which description best describes how the wagon will move?

Talja [164]

Answer:

The wagon will move to the right.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Direction of the wagon =.?

To determine the direction in which the wagon will move, we shall determine the net force acting on the wagon. This can be obtained as follow:

Force applied to the left (Fₗ) = 10 N

Force applied to the right (Fᵣ) = 30 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fᵣ – Fₗ

Fₙ = 30 – 10

Fₙ = 20 N to the right

From the calculations made above, the net force acting on the wagon is 20 N to the right. Hence the wagon will move to the right.
