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

According to x-ray observations, the space between galaxies in a galaxy cluster is?
crimeas [40]

According to x-ray observations, the space between galaxies in a galaxy cluster is very hot. It is because the matter between galaxies (often called the intergalactic medium) is mostly hot, ionized hydrogen with bits of heavier elements such as carbon, oxygen and silicon thrown in.

Massive structures are collapsing than at earlier times. Large collapsing structures lead to higher velocity intergalactic shocks and, as a result, significant intergalactic shock heating, with some gas heated well above the 10^{4} K temperatures.

Heating also occurs as galaxies expel out most of the gas that fell into them. The final product is a warm/hot phase, with temperatures of > 10^{5} K.

Now, Let's know how do you use X-rays to make space observations?

X-radiation is absorbed by the Earth's atmosphere, so instruments to detect X-rays must be taken to high altitude by balloons, sounding rockets, and satellites.

The movement of a magnetic pole away from the actual pole
Lunna [17]

The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole.

two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel .calculate the equivalent series resist
Novosadov [1.4K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Two resistors of resistance 6 ohm and 3 ohm are connected in series and then in parallel.

For series combination,

R_{eq}=R_1+R_2

For parallel combination,

\dfrac{1}{R_{eq}}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in series,

R_s=6+3\\\\R_s=9\ \Omega

When 6 ohm and 3 ohm are in paralle,

\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\\\\R_p=2\ \Omega

So, the equivalent resistance in series combination is 9 ohms and in parallel combination it is 2 ohms.

The speed of sound through air is approximately 340 m/sec. What is the wavelength of a sound wave with a frequency of 706 Hz? Ro
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Wavelength  = 0.48 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of sound = 340 m/s

Frequency = 706 hz

Find:

Wavelength

Computation:

Wavelength  = Speed of sound / Frequency

Wavelength  = 340 / 706

Wavelength  = 0.48 m (Approx)
