<span>For transverse waves the displacement of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave. A ripple on a pond and a wave on a string are easily visualized transverse waves. </span>

A circuit is set up such that it has a current of 8 A. What would be the new current if the resistance was increased by a factor
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

I=\frac{V}{R}

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A

so the current is halved.

Help with speed problems #1-3
-Dominant- [34]
1. Each plot represents the meters traveled by both the Hare and the Tortoise over a certain period of time (minutes).

2. The Tortoise lines show it lines is steadily increasing over a period of time. So as more time elapses the faster the tortoise becomes it travels more meters. The Tortoise line shows steady acceleration.

3. The Hare in the first 5 minutes had a rapid fast advancement up to 40 meters. But for the 5-20 mins. period the Hare did not move at all. Its speed stayed at the same place. But towards the end 20-25 mins. marks the Hare started moving again. At the end the Hare at first had a rapid acceleration but stopped for a long time then it sped up briefly.
