Answer:
technician A is correct
Explanation:
Technician B has circuit topologies confused. In a series circuit, there is only one path for electrical current to take. In a parallel circuit, the current will divide between paths in proportion to the inverse of their resistance. The least resistance path will have the most current.
Technician A is mostly correct.
Answer:
u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3 ( 2 sig. fig)
Explanation:
Given:
- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m
- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o = 8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg
Find:
- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?
Solution:
- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:
u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2
- Plug in the values given:
u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2
u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8 J/m^3
