Answer:

The answer to your question is given below.

Explanation:

From the diagram given in the question, we can see that the bulbs are in parallel connection. This implies that different current will go through the bulb but the same voltage. But the resistance of each bulb is the same, therefore the same current current will go through them.

This can further be understood if we determine the current flowing through each bulb. This is illustrated below:

Voltage (V) = 30V

Resistant 1 (R1) = 15Ω

Current 1 (I1) =..?

V = I1R1

30 = I1 x 15

Divide both side by 15

I1 = 30/15

I1 = 2A.

Voltage (V) = 30V

Resistant 2 (R2) = 15Ω

Current 2 (I2) =..?

V = I2R2

30 = I2 x 15

Divide both side by 15

I2 = 30/15

I2 = 2A.

The overall current(I) in the circuit:

I = I1 + I2

I = 2 + 2 = 4A.

From the illustrations above, we can see that the same current will flow through each bulb as the will current split into two equal parts

Two long parallel wires are separated by 6.0 mm. The current in one of the wires is twice the other current. If the magnitude of
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of force per unit length of wire on each of wires

= μ₀ x 2 i₁ x i₂ / 4π r    where i₁ and i₂ are current in the two wires , r is distance between the two and  μ₀ is permeability .

Putting the values ,

force per unit length = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x i x 2i / ( 6 x 10⁻³ )

= .67 i² x 10⁻⁴

force on 3 m length

= 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

Given ,

8 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

i²  = 3.98 x 10⁻²

i = 1.995 x 10⁻¹

= .1995

=  0.2 A approx .

2 i = .4 A Ans .

What is the relationship between thickness of lens and focal length?​
Ymorist [56]

Thick lens will have shorter and consequently thin lens will have greater focal length. Because, For a thick lens, the optical path length of the light is more, than for a thin lens, thus, the bending of light will be more in case of a thicker lens. Consequently, it has a shorter focal length.

If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?
vovikov84 [41]

Complete Question

In an action movie, the villain is rescued from the ocean by grabbing onto the ladder hanging from a helicopter. He is so intent on gripping the ladder that he lets go of his briefcase of counterfeit money when he is 130 m above the water. If the briefcase hits the water 6.0 s later, what was the speed at which the helicopter was ascending?

Answer:

The speed of the helicopter is u  =  7.73 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height at which he let go of the brief case is  h =  130 m  

    The  time taken before the the brief case hits the water is  t =  6 s

Generally the initial speed of the  briefcase (Which also the speed of the helicopter )before the man let go of it is  mathematically evaluated using kinematic equation as

      s = h+  u t +  0.5 gt^2

Here s  is the distance covered by the bag at sea level which is zero

      0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>    0 = 130+  u * (6) +  0.5  *  (-9.8) * (6)^2

=>   u  =  \frac{-130 +  (0.5 * 9.8 *  6^2) }{6}

=>   u  =  7.73 \  m/s

What do we mean when we describe forces as balanced?
aivan3 [116]

Well, first, let's recognize that there is no such thing as a force that is
balanced or unbalanced.

When we say that a group of two or more forces is balanced, we mean
that when you add up all the magnitudes and directions of the forces, the
whole group adds up to zero, so they have the same net effect as if there
were no force at all.
