A student examines the effect of the number of D batteries in a closed circuit on the brightness of a light bulb. In the experim

ent, four circuits were built with 1, 2, 3, and 4 batteries respectively. For each trial, the brightness of the light bulb was measured using a light meter. Which variable should the student keep constant?
the type of batteries


the number of batteries


the brightness of the light bulb


the data collected from the light meter

The correct answer is the Type of batteries

Explanation:

In an experiment, it is normal the researcher modifies one variable, in this case, the number of batteries (independent variable), and this variable affects the variable tested, in this case, the brightness of the bulb (dependent variable).

However, other factors or variables should be constant to guarantee the results are reliable. In this context, one factor that the student should keep constant is the type of batteries he uses because this is not one of the main variables and therefore it is not expected he changes this on purpose or this is affected by other variables. Moreover, by making any change the experiment can be negatively affected. For example, batteries might differ in their power capacity this can affect the brightness of the bulbs.

Why don't we feel pressure exerted by atmosphere?
ozzi
Crushing pressure. Human bodies are used to air pressure. The air pressure in our lungs, ears and stomachs is the same as the air pressure outside of our bodies, which ensures that we don't get crushed. Our bodies are also flexible enough to cope when the internal and external pressures aren't exactly the same.

"Nuclear fission is the splitting of electrons in the outer shell of an atom." True or False?
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

False

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is the splitting of nucleus of an atom which results in the emission of high amount of energy.

<u>Example:</u>

Heavy atom (i.e. uranium) when bombarded with neutrons, its nucleus split into smaller lighter weight nuclei and release a huge amount of energy. (Nuclear fission also takes place without neutrons i.e. in the form of radioactive decay (the process in which an unstable nucleus of an atom releases energy in the form of radiation)).

Answer:

Minimum DC current = 9 Ampere

Voltage = 74.862 V

Explanation:

Here in this questions three resistors are used in series

Resistance of cap circuit

R_1 =\frac{ 8* 2.3}{6} \\R_1 = 3.067

Here 2.3 is the resistance per cap

Resistance of bus wire

R_2 = \frac{50 * 4.02 }{1000} \\R_2 = 0.201

Where 4.02 is the resistance per 1000 feet of bus wire of gauge 16

Resistance of firing line

R_3 = \frac{(2*1000)* 2.525}{1000} \\R_3 = 5.05

where 2.525 is the resistance per 1000 feet of bus wire of gauge 14

Total resistance is equal to

R = R_1 + R_2 + R_3\\R = 3.067 + 0.201 + 5.05 \\R = 8.318

Current in firing line is equal to

1.5 * 6\\= 9

Voltage is equal to product of resistance and current

= 9 * 8.318\\= 74.862
