The wattage marked on a lightbulb is not an inherent property of the bulb but depends on the voltage to which it is connected, u

Answer:

The current that flows through the lamp is 0.5 A.

Explanation:

A lamp functions like a resistor and the real power absorbed by a resistor is given by the product of the voltage drop across it's terminals and the current that flows through it. If we wish to find the current that this lamp draws we should divide the wattage given (60 W) by the voltage drop provided (120 V). We then have:

i = P/V = 60/120 = 0.5 A.

A small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Time taken, T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Explanation:

It is given that, a small metal ball is suspended from the ceiling by a thread of negligible mass. The ball is then set in motion in a horizontal circle so that the thread’s trajectory describes a cone as shown in attached figure.

From the figure,

The sum of forces in y direction is :

T\ cos\theta-mg=0

T=\dfrac{mg}{cos\theta}

Sum of forces in x direction,

T\ sin\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}.............(1)

Also, r=l\ sin\theta

Equation (1) becomes :

mg\ tan\theta=\dfrac{mv^2}{l\ sin\theta}

v=\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}...............(2)

Let t is the time taken for the ball to rotate once around the axis. It is given by :

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

Put the value of T from equation (2) to the above expression:

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

T=\dfrac{2\pi l\ sin\theta}{\sqrt{gl\ tan\theta.sin\theta}}

On solving above equation :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l\ cos\theta}{g}}

Hence, this is the required solution.

A conductor carrying a current I = 16.5 A is directed along the positive x axis and perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. A
Jet001 [13]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Magnetic Force, this is given by the product between the current, the body length, the magnetic field and the angle between the force and the magnetic field, mathematically that is,

F = ILBsin \theta

Here,

I = Current

L = Length

B = Magnetic Field

\theta = Angle between Force and Magnetic Field

But \theta = 90\°

F = ILB

Rearranging to find the Magnetic Field,

B = \frac{F}{IL}

Here the force per unit length,

B = \frac{1}{I}\frac{F}{L}

Replacing with our values,

B = \frac{0.130N/m}{16.5}

B = 0.0078T

Therefore the magnitude of the magnetic field in the region through which the current passes is 0.0078T
