Considering the Ohm's law, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

<h3>Definition of current</h3>

The flow of electricity through an object, such as a wire, is known as current (I). Its unit of measure is amps (A). So the current is a measure of the speed at which the charge passes a given reference point in a specified direction.

<h3>Definition of voltage</h3>

The driving force (electrical pressure) behind the flow of a current is known as voltage and is measured in volts (V) (voltage can also be referred to as the potential difference or electromotive force). That is, voltage is a measure of the work required to move a charge from one point to another.

<h3>Definition of resistance</h3>

Resistance (R) is the difficulty that a circuit opposes to the flow of a current and it is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Ohm's law</h3>

Ohm's law establishes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

This law establishes that the intensity of the current that passes through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the same and inversely proportional to the resistance that it presents.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is expressed as:

I=\frac{V}{R}

Where:

  • I is the current measured in amps (A).
  • V the voltage measured in volts (V).
  • R the resistance that is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Resistance of the lightbulb</h3>

In this case, you know that the voltage between two points in a circuit is 120 V and there is a current of 0.83 A.

Replacing in the Ohm's Law:

0.83A=\frac{120 V}{R}

Solving:

0.83 A× R=  120 V

R=\frac{120 V}{0.83A}

<u><em>R= 144.58 Ω</em></u>

Finally, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

Elenna [48]

The tension in the cable is 23.2 N

<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.

Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0

Taking moments about the pivot:

Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7

Solving for θ;

θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°

T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)

T = 23.2 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.

Which of the following explains how an executive order differs from a law?
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Executive Orders state mandatory requirements for the Executive Branch, and have the effect of law. They are issued in relation to a law passed by Congress or based on powers granted to the President in the Constitution and must be consistent with those authorities.

Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}

For maximum condition

\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0

K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0

r^2+x^2-3x^2=0

x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}

At x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2} the electric field will be maximum.
