When the resistance of a circuit is doubled, and no other changes occur, what effect does this have on this current in the circu

As a result of doubled resistance, current will be halved.

As we know, Ohm's law inversely relates current and resistance to each other. The equation is as follows -

V = I*R, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

As the question mentions no change in any other parameter, let's assume I₁ and I₂ be initial and final current and R₁ and R₂ initial and final resistance.

So, R₂ will be 2R₁ as it is doubled.

Now, equating the values and finding out the value of final current.

I₁R₁ =  I₂R₂

Keep the value of R₂

I₁R₁ =  I₂2R₁

Cancelling R₁ as it is common on both sides of equation.

So, we get - I₁ =  2I₂

I₂ = I₁/2

Thus, as can be seen above, final current will be half of initial current.

A sample contains 20 kg of radioactive material. The decay constant of the material is 0.179 per second. If the amount of time t
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

N0 = 20kg (original substance)

decay constant λ = 0.179/sec

time t = 300s

We are to find N(t)

Using the formula;

n(t) = N0e^-λt

Substitute the given values

N(t) = 20e^-(0.179)(300)

N(t) = 20e^(-53.7)

N(t) = 20(4.7885)

N(t) =143.055

To know how much of the original material that is active, we will find N(t)/N0 = 143.055/20 = 7.152

About 7 times the original material is still radioactive

A particle moves on a line away from its initial position so that after t hours it is s = 6t2 + 2t miles from its initial positi
docker41 [41]
<span>32 mph
   First, let's calculate the location of the particle at t=1, and t=4
 t=1
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t
 s = 6*1^2 + 2*1
 s = 6 + 2
 s = 8 t = 4
 s = 6*t^2 + 2*t s = 6*4^2 + 2*4
 s = 6*16 + 8
 s = 96 + 8
 s = 104
   So the particle moved from 8 to 104 over the time period of 1 to 4 hours. And the average velocity is simply the distance moved over the time spent. So:
 avg_vel = (104-8)/(4-1) = 96/3 = 32
   And since the units were miles and hours, that means that the average speed of the particle over the interval [1,4] was 32 miles/hour, or 32 mph.</span>
