If R1 < R2 < R3, and if these resistors are connected in parallel in a circuit, which one has the greatest voltage drop?

Physics
1 answer:
nikklg [1K]1 year ago
5 0

Since the resistors are in parallel, each one has the same voltage applied across their terminals.

The smaller the resistance of the resistor, the greater the current passing through it:

V=I\cdot R

But since all resistors have the same voltage, the voltage drop is the same for all three resistors.

Correct option: four

A −3.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=−9 cm and a +4.0 nC charge is on the x-axis at x=16 cm. At what point or points on the y-
alexdok [17]

Answer:

y = 10.2 m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q_1=-3\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 9 cm at x axis

Charge, q_2=+4\ nC

It is placed at a distance of 16 cm at x axis

We need to find the point on the y-axis where the electric potential zero. The net potential on y-axis is equal to 0. So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}+\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}=0

Here,

r_1=\sqrt{y^2+9^2} \\\\r_2=\sqrt{y^2+15^2}

So,

\dfrac{kq_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{kq_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{q_1}{r_1}=-\dfrac{q_2}{r_2}\\\\\dfrac{-3\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+81} }=-\dfrac{4\ nC}{\sqrt{y^2+225} }\\\\3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}

Squaring both sides,

3\times \sqrt{y^2+225}=4\times \sqrt{y^2+81}\\\\9(y^2+225)=16\times (y^2+81)\\\\9y^2+2025=16y^2-+1296\\\\2025-1296=7y^2\\\\7y^2=729\\\\y=10.2\ m

So, at a distance of 10.2 m on the y axis the electric potential equals 0.

Suppose a 4.0-kg projectile is launched vertically with a speed of 8.0 m/s. What is the maximum height the projectile reaches?
eduard

Answer:

h = 3.3 m (Look at the explanation below, please)

Explanation:

This question has to do with kinetic and potential energy. At the beginning (time of launch), there is no potential energy- we assume it starts from the ground. There, is, however, kinetic energy

Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Plug in the numbers = \frac{1}{2}(4.0)(8^{2})

Solve = 2(64) = 128 J

Now, since we know that the mechanical energy of a system always remains constant in the absence of outside forces (there is no outside force here), we can deduce that the kinetic energy at the bottom is equal to the potential energy at the top. Look at the diagram I have attached.

Potential energy = mgh = (4.0)(9.8)(h) = 39.2(h)

Kinetic energy = Potential Energy

128 J = 39.2h

h = 3.26 m

h= 3.3 m (because of significant figures)

Mrac [35]

Answer:

\boxed{q = 1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 6} C}

Explanation:

f_e =   \frac{{q}^{2}k }{ {r}^{2} }  \\ q =  \sqrt{ \frac{f_e( {r}^{2} )}{k} }  =  \sqrt{ \frac{5.2(5 \times  {10}^{ - 2} )^{2} }{9 \times  {10}^{9} } }  \\ q =\sqrt{ \frac{5.2(5 \times  {10}^{ - 2} )^{2} }{9 \times  {10}^{9} } }  =  \sqrt{ \frac{0.013}{9 \times  {10}^{9} } }  \\ q = 1.2 \times  {10}^{ - 6}
