In our lab experiment on Ohm's law, the power supply is connected to a circuit containing one resistor, and a direct current of

1.5 A is drawn. If you connect a second identical resistor to the power supply in parallel with the first, (similar to what we did in the lab) how much current is drawn from the battery?
(A) 3.0 A
(B) 0.75 A
(C) 1.5 A
(D) 6.0 A

Answer: (A) 3.0=A

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to use the OHM law, given by: V=R*I

Besides, we have to consider the resitance equivalent for a parallel connection. This is given by:

1/Re=1/R1+1/R2

If we connect the same resistance, the equivalent resistance is R/2.

Initlally  the current is 1.5 A when one resistance is connected to the batttery. When a second resistance with the same value is connected in parallel to the battery, we have V=Re*Ifinal= (R/2)*Ifinal

also we know that V=R*Iinitial so Iinitial=V/R

then Ifinal= 2*V/R=2*Iinitial

Answer: A voltmeter must have a high resistance where as an ammeter must have a low resistance.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is a device which is connected in parallel to the component across which voltage needs to be measured. In a parallel circuit voltage drop is same at the nodes. The parallel connection must not offer easier path for current to divert from the main circuit and travel. Thus, a voltmeter must have high resistance.

On the other hand, an ammeter which is used to measure current in the circuit must have low resistance as it is connected in series. It should not offer resistance as it would reduce the actual current and measurement would be inaccurate.

What is the surface pressure of Venus?
kiruha [24]

answers 93 bar

The atmosphere of Venus is the layer of gases surrounding Venus. It is composed primarily of carbon dioxide and is much denser and hotter than that of Earth. The temperature at the surface is 740 K (467 °C, 872 °F), and the pressure is 93 bar (9.3 MPa), roughly the pressure found 900 m (3,000 ft) underwater on Earth.

Young's Modulus refers to changes in the a Volume b- Length c- Body layers
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Young' modulus is the ratio of normal stress to the longitudinal strain. Mathematically, it is given by :

Normal stress is given by force per unit area. Longitudinal strain is the change in length per unit original length.

The mathematical definition of Young's modulus is given by :

Y=\dfrac{F/A}{\Delta L/L}..........(1)

Where

\Delta L is the change in length

F is the force

A is the area of cross section

So, the Young's modulus refers to the change in length of the object. Hence, the correct option is (b) "length".
