When the voltage across a steady resistance is doubled, the current?

Physics

natima [27]3 years ago

I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.

<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know V and I use formula P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>

The next question is what I'm not sure about:

Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).

What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W

But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."

So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.

P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W

nordsb [41]

Answer:

A signal is produced.

Radio waves are modulated and amplified.

Radio waves are amplified and demodulated.

A signal is seen, heard, or used.

Explanation:

Communication is the method of transmitting information between two or more participants. A radio communication network is a set of static and wireless radio equipment developed to facilitate an entity by enabling particular modes of communication such as one-to-many and one-to-one communication. Radio waves are being used to transmit information spatially from the sender to receiver, by modulating the radio signal in the transmitter. The above steps explains the loop of the radio communication system.

A golf ball stays on the tee until the golf club hits it. Which of the following principles best describes why this occurs? Grou
givi [52]

Answer:

Newton's First Law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.

So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.

Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.
