Classify each of the following statements as a characteristic (a) of electric forces only, (b) of magnetic forces only, (c) of b
1 answer:
(b) Magnetic forces only
When an object is placed in an electric field it experiences an electric force given by :
= |q| × E
Similarly when it is placed in a magnetic field it experiences a magnetic force given by :
= |q|×v×Bsinθ
When a particle is placed in electric field the particle gets accelerated.
The electric field has a direction, positive to negative. This is the direction that the electric field will cause a positive charge to accelerate. For example If a positive charge is moving in the same direction as the electric field vector the particle's velocity will increase. If it is moving in the opposite direction it will decelerate. ( No change in direction of motion in this case)
When a particle is moved in magnetic field ,the magnetic force is perpendicular to velocity and magnetic field . Since force is perpendicular to velocity ,it only changes the direction of motion.

Explanation:
a)
In this situation, we have two resistors connected in series.
The equivalent resistance of resistors in series is equal to the sum of the individual resistances, so in this circuit:
where
Therefore, the equivalent resistance is
Now we can use Ohm's Law to find the current flowing through the circuit:
where
V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery
is the equivalent resistance of the circuit
Substituting,
The two resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.6 A.
b)
In this part, a third resistor is added in series to the circuit; so the new equivalent resistance of the circuit is
where:
Substituting, we find the equivalent resistance:
Now we can find the current through the circuit by using again Ohm's Law:
where
V = 8 V is the voltage supplied by the battery
is the equivalent resistance
Substituting,
And the three resistors are connected in series, therefore the current flowing through each resistor is the same, 1.33 A.
