Correct answer: Option D. 30 V

The resistors are connect in series, because in parallel the potential drop across all resistors will have been the same and will be equal to the battery voltage i.e. 60 V.

First we need to find the equivalent resistance and the current passing through the circuit.

Since, resistors are in series, equivalent resistance will be the sum of all individual resistances. So,

Equivalent Resistance = 20 + 40 + 60 = 120 ohm
Current through the circuit = Voltage / Equivalent Resistance  = 60/120 = 0.5 ampere

The voltage drop across R3 =Resistance of R3 x Current 
= 60 x 0.5
= 30 V

Therefore, D option is the correct answer.

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 7000 7000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

θ = 28.9°

Explanation:

We are given;

Wavelength; λ = 602nm = 602 x 10^(-9) m

Lines per centimetre = 7000 /cm = 700000 /m

Thus, the distance between 2 adjacent lines is;

d = 1/700000 = 1.43 x 10^(-6) m

The angle at which diffracted light is formed is given by the formula

mλ = d sinθ

Where;

m is the mth order of the diffraction

λ is the wavelength of the incident light

d is the distance separating the centres of 2 adjacent slits

θ is the angle at which diffraction occurs

From the question, m is 1 because it says first order.

Thus, plugging in the relevant values into mλ = d sinθ, we have;

1 x 602 x 10^(-9) = 1.43 x 10^(-6) sinθ

sinθ = 602 x 10^(-9)/(1.43 x 10^(-6))

sinθ = 0.42098

θ = sin^(-1) 0.42098

θ = 28.9°

A nuclear fission reactor produces electricity. What is the role of the fuel, the control rods, water, and generator in this pro
natima [27]
The appropriate response is the third one. A generator is utilized to enact the control poles which contain radioactive isotopes. Once initiated, these isotopes start an atomic splitting chain response. Water in a cooling tank monitors the rate of response as electrons radiated from the response are encouraged through wires to homes and organizations.

What is an electric motor? Explain its operation. 2-3 sentence
Anarel [89]

Answer:

An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. This change occurs due to the interaction between the magnetic field of magnets and the magnetic field due to the  electric current in the  loop. The interaction between the two produces a torque that makes the loop rotate on a shaft.

allsm [11]

Answer:

Looks like you have:

a = -.324 cos 2.5 t

In this case   ω^2 A = .324

ω = 2.5

f = ω / (2 * pi) = 2.5 / 6.28 = .40 / sec
