What is the potential drop across R3? (R1 = 20 Ω, R2 = 40 Ω, R3= 60 Ω, V = 60 V) (Ohm's law: V = IR)

1 answer:

7 0

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.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The induced current is $I = 6.25*10^{-4} \ A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of turns is $N = 1$

The cross-sectional area is $A = 8.20 cm^2 = 8.20 * 10^{-4} \ m^2$

The initial magnetic field is $B_i = 0.500 \ T$

The magnetic field at time = 1.02 s is $B_t = 2.60 \ T$

The resistance is $R = 2.70\ \Omega$

The induced emf is mathematically represented as

$\epsilon = - N * \frac{ d\phi }{dt}$

The negative sign tells us that the induced emf is moving opposite to the change in magnetic flux

Here $d\phi$ is the change in magnetic flux which is mathematically represented as

$d \phi = dB * A$

Where dB is the change in magnetic field which is mathematically represented as

$dB = B_t - B_i$

substituting values

$dB = 2.60 - 0.500$

$dB = 2.1 \ T$

Thus

$d \phi = 2.1 * 8.20 *10^{-4}$

$d \phi = 1.722*10^{-3} \ weber$

$|\epsilon| = 1 * \frac{ 1.722*10^{-3}}{1.02}$

$|\epsilon| = 1.69 *10^{-3} \ V$

The induced current i mathematically represented as

$I = \frac{\epsilon}{ R }$

substituting values

$I = \frac{1.69*10^{-3}}{ 2.70 }$

$I = 6.25*10^{-4} \ A$

How dose the speed of the sound differ in water, iron, and Helium?

stepladder [879]

Answer:

air water iron helium

v(m/s) 280 2200 17780 39682

Explanation:

The speed of a wave depends on the physical properties of the medium where it travels, in the case of a longitudinal wave such as sound, it depends on the resistance to deformation (volume modulus and the density of the medium

v = $\sqrt{ \frac{B}{ \rho } }$

in the mentioned materials they are constant

An electron is emitted from a nucleus- State the effect this has on the charge of the nucleus

Likurg_2 [28]

$Question$

An electron is emitted from a nucleus- State the effect this has on the charge of the nucleus

Answer:

an electron orbiting around the nucleus combines with a nuclear proton to produce a neutron, which remains in the nucleus, and a neutrino, which is emitted. As in positron emission, the nuclear positive charge and hence the atomic number decreases by one unit, and the mass number remains the same.

hope this helps!!!
