A lightbulb carries more current immediately after it is turned on and the glow of the metal filament is increasing; option A.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

Current refers to the flow of electric charges typically electrons.

Current flowing through a metallic material decreases with increase in temperature of the material.

This is because the resistance of the metal increases with increase in temperature.

Therefore, for a light bulb, the current flow through it will be maximum when it is just turned on because the temperature, and hence the resistance of the filament is at its lowest.

In conclusion, current flow decreases with increase in resistance.

Current and voltage on each resistor:

$I_1 = 3.98 A, V_1 = 3.98 V$

$I_2=0.015 A, V_2 = 0.075 V$

$I_3 = 0.4 A, V_3 = 0.4 V$

$I_4 = 0.385 A, V_4 = 0.77 V$

$I_5 = 0.585 A, V_5 = 1.17 V$

$I_6 = 3.01 A, V_6 = 6.02 V$

$I_7 = 0.97 A, V_7 = 4.85 V$

Explanation:

In order to solve the circuit, we first have to find the equivalent resistance of the whole circuit, then the total current, and then we can proceed finding the current and the voltage for each resistor.

We start by calculating the equivalent resistance of resistors 2 and 3, which are in parallel:

$R_{23}=\frac{R_2R_3}{R_2+R_3}=\frac{(5)(1)}{5+1}=0.833\Omega$

This resistor is in series with resistor 4, so:

$R_{234}=R_{23}+R_4=0.833+2.0=2.833\Omega$

This resistor is in parallel with resistor 5, therefore:

$R_{2345}=\frac{R_{234}R_5}{R_{234}+R_5}=\frac{(2.833)(2.0)}{2.833+2.0}=1.172\Omega$

This resistor is in series with resistor 7, so:

$R_{23457}=R_{2345}+R_7=1.172+5.0=6.172\Omega$

This resistor is in parallel with resistor 6, so:

$R_{234567}=\frac{R_{23457}R_6}{R_{23457}+R_6}=\frac{(6.172)(2.0)}{6.172+2.0}=1.510\Omega$

Finally, this combination is in series with resistor 1:

$R_{eq}=R_1+R_{234567}=1.0+1.510=2.510\Omega$

We finally found the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Now we can find the total current in the circuit, which is also the current flowing through resistor 1:

$I_1=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{10}{2.510}=3.98 A$

And we can also find the potential difference across resistor 1:

$V_1=I_1 R_1=(3.98)(1.0)=3.98 V$

This means that the voltage across resistor 6 is

$V_6=V-V_1=10-3.98=6.02 V$

And so, the current on resistor 6 is

$I_6=\frac{V_6}{R_6}=\frac{6.02}{2.0}=3.01 A$

The current flowing in the whole part of the circuit containing resistors 2,3,4,5,7, and therefore through resistor 7, is

$I_7=I-I_6=3.98-3.01=0.97 A$

And so the voltage across resistor 7 is

$V_7=I_7 R_7=(0.97)(5.0)=4.85 V$

The voltage across resistor 5 is

$V_5 = V_6 - V_7 = 6.02 - 4.85 =1.17 V$

And so the current is

$I_5 = \frac{V_5}{R_5}=\frac{1.17}{2.0}=0.585 A$

The current through resistor 4 is

$I_4 = I_7 - I_5 = 0.97-0.585 = 0.385 A$

And therefore its voltage is

$V_4=I_4 R_4 = (0.385)(2.0)=0.77 V$

So, the voltage through resistor 3 is

$V_3=V_5-V_4=1.17-0.77=0.4 V$

And the current is

$I_3=\frac{V_3}{R_3}=\frac{0.4}{1.0}=0.4 A$

Finally, the current through resistor 2 is

$I_2=I_4-I_3=0.5-0.385=0.015 A$

And so its voltage is

$V_2=I_2R_2=(0.015)(5.0)=0.075 V$

Explain why pulleys are in the lever family.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The leverage or mechanical advantage of pulleys is less obvious, but you can "gang" multiple pulleys together into two sets (blocks) and run the ropes back and forth between the two sets to increase the number of lengths of rope running between them. One end of the rope is connected (fixed) to one of the blocks, and you get to pull on the other end after it is passed back and forth between the blocks of pulleys. This is sometimes called a block and tackle arrangement. With a hook on each side of the block set, you can move a heavy load much like levers do, by multiplying the force. You have to pull more rope just like you have to move a lever more on one side of the fulcrum as compared to the other. When you get all the rope pulled out that you can, you can not move the load anymore because you have become "two-blocked" which means the two blocks are together. Credits to: Moin Khan

Which of the following statements about price elasticity of demand is true?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

B. The elastic portion of a straight-line, downward-sloping demand curve corresponds to the segment above the midpoint.

Explanation:

Elasticity measures the sensitivity of one variable to another. Specifically it is a figure that indicates the percentage variation that a variable will experience in response to a variation of another one percent.

The elasticity of demand measures the reaction of demand when one of the factors that affects it varies.

<u>Elasticity - Price of demand.</u>

easure the sensitivity of the quantity demanded to price variations. It indicates the percentage variation that the quantity demanded of a good will experience if its price rises by 1 percent.

<u> Elastic Demand </u>

The demand quantity is relatively sensitive to price variations, so the total expenditure on the product decreases when the price rises, the price elasticity takes value greater than -∞ but less than -1

What should be angle between force and displacement to get the maximum work

Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

0°

Explanation:

The angle between force and displacement should be 0° in order to get the maximum work done.

Work done = Force x dcosФ°

Ф is the angle between force and displacement

When Ф is zero, the maximum work done is attained

When Ф is 90, the minimum work is done, in fact, work done is 0
