The electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the

values of their resistances. Unfortunately, stock is low, and all you have are R1 and R2 in parallel and in series - and you can't separate these two resistor combinations. You separately connect each resistor network to a battery with emf 39.0 V and negligible internal resistance and measure the power P supplied by the battery in both cases. For the series combination, P = 48.0 W; for the parallel combination, P = 256 W. You are told that R1>R2.

Answer:

R₁ = 23.77 ohms and R₂ = 7.92 ohms

Explanation:

When connected in series, the equivalence resistance, R(eq) is given as

R(eq) = (R₁ + R₂)

When connected in parallel, the equivalence resistance, R(eq) is given as

[1/R(eq)] = [(1/R₁) + (1/R₂)]

R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)

The parallel and series combination are connected to a battery of emf 39.0 V with negligible internal resistance. And the power supplied is measured.

But power supplied is given as

P = IV = (V/R) V = (V²/R)

When connected in series, the power supplied is given as

P = 48.0 W,

V = 39.0 V,

R = R(eq) = (R₁ + R₂)

48 = (39²/R)

R = (39²/48)

R = 31.6875 ohms

R = (R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875 (eqn 1)

When connected in series, the power supplied is given as

P = 256.0 W,

V = 39.0 V,

R = R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂)

256 = (39²/R)

R = (39²/256)

R = 5.9414 ohms

R = R(eq) = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

But, recall eqn 1

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 5.9414

Substituting for (R₁ + R₂)

(R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = (R₁R₂)/31.6875 = 5.9414

(R₁R₂) = 31.6875 × 5.9414 = 188.2683

R₁ = (188.2683/R₂)

(R₁ + R₂) = 31.6875

Substituting for R₁

(188.2683/R₂) + R₂ = 31.6875

multiply through by R₂

188.2683 + R₂² = 31.6875R₂

R₂² - 31.6875R₂ + 188.2683 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation

R₂ = 23.77 ohms or 7.92 ohms

If R₂ = 23.77 ohms, R₁ = 7.92 ohms

If R₂ = 7.92 ohms, R₁ = 23.77 ohms

Since the question explains that R₁ > R₂

R₁ = 23.77 ohms and R₂ = 7.92 ohms

Hope this Helps!!!

A nonconducting sphere is made of two layers. The innermost section has a radius of 6.0 cm and a uniform charge density of −5.0C
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

a) E =0, b)   E = 1,129 10¹⁰ N / C , c)    E = 3.33 10¹⁰ N / C

Explanation:

To solve this exercise we can use Gauss's law

        Ф = ∫ E. dA = q_{int} / ε₀

Where we must define a Gaussian surface that is this case is a sphere; the electric field lines are radial and parallel to the radii of the spheres, so the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

           E A = q_{int} /ε₀

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

         E = q_{int} / 4πε₀ r²

         k = 1 / 4πε₀

         E = k q_{int} / r²

To find the charge inside the surface we can use the concept of density

        ρ = q_{int} / V ’

         q_{int} = ρ V ’

         V ’= 4/3 π r’³

Where V ’is the volume of the sphere inside the Gaussian surface

 Let's apply this expression to our problem

a) The electric field in center r = 0

     Since there is no charge inside, the field must be zero

          E = 0

b) for the radius of r = 6.0 cm

In this case the charge inside corresponds to the inner sphere

        q_{int} = 5.0  4/3 π 0.06³

         q_{int} = 4.52 10⁻³ C

        E = 8.99 10⁹  4.52 10⁻³ / 0.06²

         E = 1,129 10¹⁰ N / C

c) The electric field for r = 12 cm = 0.12 m

In this case the two spheres have the charge inside the Gaussian surface, for which we must calculate the net charge.

     The charge of the inner sphere is q₁ = - 4.52 10⁻³ C

The charge for the outermost sphere is

       q₂ =  ρ 4/3 π r₂³

       q₂ = 8.0 4/3 π 0.12³

       q₂ = 5.79 10⁻² C

The net charge is

     q_{int} = q₁ + q₂

     q_{int} = -4.52 10⁻³ + 5.79 10⁻²

     q_{int} = 0.05338 C

The electric field is

        E = 8.99 10⁹ 0.05338 / 0.12²

        E = 3.33 10¹⁰ N / C

In the graph below, why does the graph stop increasing after 30 seconds?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

The answer is "Option C".

Explanation:

It's evident from the figure below that after thirty minutes, not no more hydrogen can be created because all of the reactants have converted into products.

hydrogen gas created in cm cubes per period x = 20 seconds, y = 45 centimeters squared, and so on.

A reaction's terminus (the graph's flat line) indicates that no further products are being created during the reaction.
