Answer:

A, 0.59A

Explanation:

The total resistance in the circuit is the resistances in parallel plus that in series.

Total resistance for those in parallel is;

1/(1/4 +1/6 +1/10) = 1/ (15+10+6 /60)

1/(31/60)= 60/31 ohms

Hence total resistance of the circuit is;

60/31 + 2 = (60+62)/31 = 122/31=3.94 ohms

To calculate the current flowing through the 10ohm resistance we need to know the voltage drop by subtracting the voltage drop in the 2ohm resistance from the total voltage drop.

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance is;

Current on the 2 ohm resistor × 2 ohms

V = I ×R ; I - current

R - resistance

Current drop on the 2ohm resistance is;

Total voltage in the circuit/ total resistance in the circuit

12/3.94= 3.05A

Voltage drop on the 2 ohm resistance;

3.05 × 2 = 6.10volts

Hence voltage drop on the parallel resistance would be ;

12-6.10= 5.90V

Now voltage drop in a parallel circuit is the same hence 5.90v is dropped in each of the parallel resistance.

That said, the current drop on the 10 ohm resistor would be;

5.90/10 = 0.59A

Remember V= I× R so that I = V/R

[ b) The time of reverberation of an empty hall without and with 500 audiences is 1.5 sec and 1.4 sec respectively. Find the rev
Lilit [14]

The reverberation time with 800 audiences is 0.875 seconds.

<h3>Reverberation time with 800 audience</h3>

R₁V₁ = R₂V₂

where;

  • R₁ is the reverberation time with 400 audience
  • R₂ is the reverberation time with 800 audience
  • V₁ is initial volume
  • V₂ is final volume

R₂ = R₁V₁/V₂

R₂ = (1.4 x 500) / 800

R₂ = 0.875 seconds

Thus, the reverberation time with 800 audiences is 0.875 seconds.
