When a new path of lesser resistance is made for an existing circuit a(n) short circuit occurs.

<h3>What is short circuit?</h3>

An electrical circuit short circuit is when two nodes that are supposed to be connected at different voltages make an improper connection. This leads to an electric current that can damage circuits, cause overheating, fire, or explosions, and is only constrained by the network's remaining nodes' equivalent Thevenin resistance. While short circuits are typically the result of a failure, they can occasionally be brought on purpose, such as when voltage-sensing crowbar circuit protectors are being installed.

An electrical connection that requires two nodes to have the same voltage is known as a short circuit in circuit analysis. Since there is no resistance and hence no voltage drop across the link in a "perfect" short circuit, there is no short circuit.

What is the net force on this object A: 0 newtons b: 200 newtons c:400 newtons D:600 newtons

Ilya [14]

Answer:

100kg

Explanation:

Total force =400N+600N=1000N

As we have,

F=m×g

1000N=m×10m/s²

1000N÷10m/s²=m

m=100kg

Firecracker A is 300 m from you. Firecracker B is 600 m from you in the same direction. You see both explode at the same time. D

Answer:

e see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

Explanation:

This is an ejercise in special relativity, where the speed of light is constant.

Let's carefully analyze the approach, we see the two events at the same time.

The closest event time is

c = (x₁-300) / t

t = (x₁-300) / c

The time for the other event is

t = (x₂- 600) / c

since they tell us that we see the events simultaneously, we can equalize

(x₁ -300) / c = (x₂ -600) / c

x₁ = x₂ - 300

We see that the distances are different, the only way that the two beams of light approach simultaneously is that event 2 (farthest) occurs first than event 1

Complete Question: A charge q1 = 2.2 uC is at a distance d= 1.63m from a second charge q2= -5.67 uC. (b) Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)

Answer:

d= 0.46 m

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work needed, per unit charge, to bring a positive test charge from infinity to the point of interest.

For a point charge, the electric potential, at a distance r from it, according to Coulomb´s Law and the definition of potential, can be expressed as follows:

V = $\frac{k*q}{r}$
