Answer:

Option (a), (b) and (c)

Explanation:

The resistance of a conductor depends on the length of the conductor, area of crossection of the conductor and the nature of the conductor.

The formula for the resistance is given by

R = ρ x l / A

Where, ρ is the resistivity of the conductor, l be the length of the conductor and A be the area of crossection of the conductor.

So, It depends on the length, area and the type of material.

When light goes from one material into another material having a HIGHER index of refractionA) its speed decreases but its wavele

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

E) its speed and wavelength decrease, but its frequency stays the same

Explanation:

First of all, the frequency of a light wave does not depend on the medium, while wavelength and speed do. Therefore, the frequency remains costant.

In particular, the speed of light in a medium is given by:

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where c is the speed of light in a vacuum and n is the index of refraction. From the formula, we see that v and n are inversely proportional: so, when the light moves into a material with higher index of refraction, its speed decreases.

Moreover, speed is related to wavelength by

$v=\lambda f$

where $\lambda$ is the wavelength and f is the frequency. Since the two quantities are directly proportional, this means that since the speed decreases, the wavelength decreases as well.

So, the correct choice is

E) its speed and wavelength decrease, but its frequency stays the same

A charge of 7.00 mC is placed at opposite corners corner of a square 0.100 m on a side and a charge of -7.00 mC is placed at oth

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

4.03\times10^{7}N[/tex], 135°

Explanation:

charge, q = 7 mC = 0.007 C

charge, - q = - 7 mC = - 0.007 C

d = 0.1 m

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at D is FD.

$F_{D}=\frac{kq^{2}}{DC^{2}}$

$F_{D}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1^{2}}=4.41 \times 10^{7}N$

The direction of FD is along C to D.

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at B is FB.

$F_{B}=\frac{kq^{2}}{BC^{2}}$

$F_{B}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1^{2}}=4.41 \times 10^{7}N$

The direction of FB is along C to B.

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at A is FA.

$F_{A}=\frac{kq^{2}}{AC^{2}}$

$F_{D}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1 \times\sqrt{2} \times 0.1 \times\sqrt{2}}=2.205 \times 10^{7}N$

The direction of FA is along A to C.

The net force along +X axis

$F_{x}=F_{A}Cos45-F_{D}$

$F_{x}=2.205\times10^{7}Cos45-4.41\times10^{7}=-2.85\times10^{7}N$

The net force along +Y axis

$F_{y}=F_{B}-F_{A}Sin45$

$F_{y}=4.41\times10^{7}-2.205\times10^{7}Sin45=2.85\times10^{7}N$

The resultant force is given by

$F=\sqrt{F_{x}^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-2.85\times10^{7})^{2}+(2.85\times10^{7})^{2}}$

$F = 4.03\times10^{7}N$

The angle from x axis is Ф

tan Ф = - 1

Ф = -45°

Angle from + X axis is 180° - 45° = 135°

What are the different advantages of a) the series vs. b) the parallel circuits? The resistors could be replaced with lightbulbs

Molodets [167]

Answer:

In parallel circuits all components have the same voltage. In series circuits all components have the same current.

Explanation:

Voltage in a circuit is akin to pressure in water, while current is akin to flow in water.

Voltage and current are related to resistance by Ohm's law:

$V = R*I$

Where:

V: voltage

I: current

R: resistance

In a parallel circuit all the terminals of one side of the devices are connected together. This is known as a node. Nodes have a certain voltage. Devices connected in parallel will have one node on each side, and each node will have it's own voltage. Current will flow through each component independently depending on their resistance, so it is not the same for all of them.

In a series circuit components are connected one after the other, the current that flows through one must continue and flow through the next, so they all have the same current. But since they might have different resistances they might have different voltage differences between their terminals.

Parallel connection is useful when you have devices that require a specific voltage, such as household appliances. All wall power outlets are connected in parallel.

Series connection is useful when you want to control current. When you use a LED you must be careful not to apply an overcurrent, so a series resistor is commonly used to limit the current.
