Answer:

Series circuit:

The voltage that is measured across the circuit is different.

The current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

Parallel circuit:

The current measured across each resistor varies

The voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Explanation:

Series and parallel circuits behave differently when it comes to the circulation of current and the interaction with a potential difference.

In a series circuit, the resistances are connected end to end. As a result, the voltage that is measured across the circuit is different once resistance is encountered. However, the current measured in a series circuit remains the same at all points in the circuit.

A parallel circuit behaves in an exactly opposite manner to the series circuit. In a parallel circuit, the resistances are connected side by side. As a result of this, the current measured across each resistor varies as there are circuit branches through which electric current can flow into. On the other hand, the voltage measured across a parallel circuit will remain the same

Answer:

p_k=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}}

Explanation:

Apply the momentum in each direction knowing that the impact is at the same time for the pieces so

$p_x=m_1*v_1$

$p_x=200g*2.0m/s=0.4kgm/s$

$p_y=m_2*v_2$

$p_y=235g*1.5m/s=0.3525kgm/s$

So the momentum in the other piece can be find knowing that

$p_x^2+p_y^2=p_k^2$

So:

$p_k=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}}$

$p_k=\sqrt{0.4^2+0.3525^2}}=\sqrt{0.2842 kg^2*m^2/s^2}$

$p_k=0.5331kg*m/s$

To find the velocity knowing the mass

$p_k=m_k*v_k$

$v_k=\frac{p_k}{m_k}=\frac{0.5331 kg*m/s}{0.10kg}$

$v_k=5.331 m/s$

Which best explains how Selena can correct her error? She can change the magnets so like poles are facing each other. She can ch

alexandr402 [8]

Complete question is;

Selena drew a diagram to show how current moves in a loop of wire that is placed between two magnets. At top left a piece of magnet labeled N and at top right a piece labeled S. Between these a square coil of wire with green arrows at its ends away from the magnets pointing away from the magnets. Red arrows point from N to S. Which best explains how Selena can correct her error?

A) She can change the magnets so like poles are facing each other.

B) She can change the arrows so they show current traveling in opposite directions on the sides of the loop.

C) She can change the arrows so they show the magnetic field reversing direction between the magnets.

D) She can change the magnetic poles so they are both on one side of the loop.

Answer:

B) She can change the arrows so they show current traveling in opposite directions on the sides of the loop.

Explanation:

Since the direction of the arrows point north and south whereas the magnets are east and west, it means the arrows are not pointing in the correct direction. To correct it she will have to make sure the arrows are pointing in opposite directions of the magnet via the sides of the loop.

an electron travels at 0.3037 times the speed of light through a magnetic field and feels a force of 1.2498 pN. What is the magn

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Charge on an electron (q) = 1.6 * 10 ^ -19 C

Velocity of electron (v) = 0.3037 * 300,000,000 = 91,110,000 m/sec

We know that, Force exerted on moving particle moving through a magnetic field :

$F= q * v * B ( q,v\ and\ B\ are\ mutually\ perpendicular)$

1.2498 * 10 ^ -12 = 1.6 * 10^ -19 * 91110000 * B

B = 0.08573 T
