1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].
2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].
3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].
4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].
Answer:
The final temperature of both objects is 400 K
Explanation:
The quantity of heat transferred per unit mass is given by;
Q = cΔT
where;
c is the specific heat capacity
ΔT is the change in temperature
The heat transferred by the object A per unit mass is given by;
Q(A) = caΔT
where;
ca is the specific heat capacity of object A
The heat transferred by the object B per unit mass is given by;
Q(B) = cbΔT
where;
cb is the specific heat capacity of object B
The heat lost by object B is equal to heat gained by object A
Q(A) = -Q(B)
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
The final temperature of the two objects is given by
But heat capacity of object B is twice that of object A
Therefore, the final temperature of both objects is 400 K.
