The voltage across all the resistors is the same i.e 120V

Each element of the parallel circuit has the same voltage applied to it. The total current flowing from the source is equal to the sum of the currents across each path. The electric potential difference (V) across each resistor in a parallel circuit is the same. Ohm's law states that I = V / R applies to the current in a resistor. The current will be lowest where the resistance is highest since the V is the same for each resistor. The currents passing through each resistor in a parallel combination have the same voltage across them because of their different resistance values and the laws of Ohms i., If two or more components are connected in parallel, they will be having same difference of potential (voltage) across their ends Parallel circuits are then used as current dividers.

<span>Hydrocarbons are molecules that contain only carbon and hydrogen.</span> Due to carbon's unique bonding patterns, hydrocarbons can have single, double, or triple bonds between the carbon atoms. The names of hydrocarbons with single bonds end in "-ane," those with double bonds end in "-ene," and those with triple bonds end in "-yne". The bonding of hydrocarbons allows them to form rings or chains.

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su

kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

A. 2.82 eV

B. 439nm

C. 59.5 angstroms

Explanation:

A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:

$E_{n1,n2}=-13.4(\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})$ (1)

n1: final state = 5

n2: initial state = 2

Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):

$E_{5,2}=-13.6(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=2.82eV$

B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:

$E=h\frac{c}{\lambda}$ (2)

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

λ: wavelength of the photon

You first convert the energy from eV to J:

$2.82eV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{18}eV}=4.517*10^{-19}J$

Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:

$\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34} kg m^2/s)(3*10^8m/s)}{4.517*10^{-19}J}=4.39*10^{-7}m=439*10^{-9}m=439nm$

C. The radius of the orbit is given by:

$r_n=n^2a_o$ (3)

where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms

You use the equation (3) with n=5:

$r_5=5^2(2.380)=59.5$

hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

b. ratio=9

Explanation:

<u>Electrostatic Force</u>

Two point-charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated a distance d will exert a force on each other of a magnitude given by the Coulomb's formula

$\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}$

Where k is the proportional constant of value

$k=9*10^9\ N.m^2/c^2$

The diagram provided in the question shows four identical charges (let's assume their value is Q) separated by identical distance (of value d). The force between the charges next to others is

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q\ Q}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

The force between charges separated 2d is

$\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(2d)^2}$

$\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}$

And the force between the charges A and D is

$\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(3d)^2}$

$\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

Now, let's analyze each charge and the force applied to them by the others

Let's recall equally signed charges repel each other and differently signed charges attrach each other

Charge A. It receives force to the left from B and C and to the right from D

$\displaystyle F_A=-F_1-F_2+F_3=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_A=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})$

$\displaystyle F_A=-\frac{41}{36}F_1$

Charge B. It receives force to the right from A and D and to the left from C

$\displaystyle F_B=F_1-F_1+F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_B=\frac{1}{4}F_1$

Charge C. It receives forces to the right from all charges.

$\displaystyle F_C=F_2+F_1+F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_C=\frac{9}{4}F_1$

Charge D. It receives forces to the left from all charges

$\displaystyle F_D=-F_3-F_2-F_1=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}$

$\displaystyle F_D=-\frac{49}{36}F_1$

Comparing the magnitudes of each force is just a matter of computing the fractions

$\displaystyle \frac{41}{36}=1.13,\ \frac{1}{4}=0.25,\ \frac{9}{4}=2.25,\ \frac{49}{36}=1.36$

We can see the charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

The ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force is

$\displaystyle \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}=9$

The greatest force is 9 times the smallest net force
