In a parallel circuit is the current constant throughout the circuit or does it vary?

1 answer:

6 0

In a parallel circuit the current is NOT constant throughout the circuit. Current that goes through each resistor or device depends on the resistance. The factor that does stay constant however is the voltage. In a parallel circuit, voltage that is constant.

solong [7]

Answer:

Opposite sides are congruent (AB = DC).

Opposite angels are congruent (D = B).

Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180°).

If one angle is right, then all angles are right.

The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.

Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles.

A current of 4.00 mA flows through a copper wire. The wire has an initial diameter of 4.00 mm which gradually tapers to a diamet

lesya692 [45]

The change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

The given parameters;

Current flowing in the wire, I = 4.00 mA
Initial diameter of the wire, d₁ = 4 mm = 0.004 m
Final diameter of the wire, d₂ = 1 mm = 0.001 m
Length of wire, L = 2.00 m
Density of electron in the copper, n = 8.5 x 10²⁸ /m³

The initial area of the copper wire;

$A_1 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi \times (0.004)^2}{4} =1.257\times 10^{-5} \ m^2$

The final area of the copper wire;

$A_2 = \frac{\pi d^2}{4} = \frac{\pi (0.001)^2}{4} = 7.86\times 10^{-7} \ m^2$

The initial drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

$v_d_1 = \frac{I}{nqA_1} \\\\v_d_1 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 1.257\times 10^{-5}} \\\\v_d_1 = 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s$

The final drift velocity of the electrons is calculated as;

$v_d_2 = \frac{I}{nqA_2} \\\\v_d_2 = \frac{4\times 10^{-3} }{8.5\times 10^{28} \times 1.6\times 10^{-19} \times 7.86\times 10^{-7}} \\\\v_d_2 = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s$

The change in the mean drift velocity is calculated as;

$\Delta v = v_d_2 -v_d_1\\\\\Delta v = 3.74\times 10^{-7} \ m/s \ -\ 2.34 \times 10^{-8} \ m/s = 3.506\times 10^{-7} \ m/s$

The time of motion of electrons for the initial wire diameter is calculated as;

$t_1 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_1 = \frac{2}{2.34\times 10^{-8}} \\\\t_1 = 8.547\times 10^{7} \ s$

The time of motion of electrons for the final wire diameter is calculated as;

$t_2 = \frac{L}{v_d_1} \\\\t_2= \frac{2}{3.74 \times 10^{-7}} \\\\t_2 = 5.348 \times 10^{6} \ s$

The average acceleration of the electrons is calculated as;

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} \\\\a = \frac{3.506 \times 10^{-7} }{(8.547\times 10^7)- (5.348\times 10^6)} \\\\a = 4.38\times 10^{-15} \ m/s^2$

Thus, the change in mean drift velocity for electrons as they pass from one end of the wire to the other is 3.506 x 10⁻⁷ m/s and average acceleration of the electrons is 4.38 x 10⁻¹⁵ m/s².

A circular coil of wire of radius 5.0 cm has 20 turns and carries a current of 2.0 A. The coil lies in a magnetic field of magni

Korvikt [17]

Answer:a. Magnetic dipole moment is 0.3412Am²

b. Torque is zero(0)N.m

Explanation: The magnetic dipole moment U is given as the product of the number of turns n times the current I times the area A

That is,

U = n*I*A

But Area A is given as pi*radius² since it is a circular coil

Radius given is 5cm converting to meter we divide by 100 so we have our radius to be 0.05m. So area A is

A = 3.142*(0.05)² =7.86*EXP {-3} m²

Current I is 2 A

Number of turns is 20

So magnetic dipole moment U is

U = 20*2*7.86*EXP {-3}=0.3142A.m²

b. Torque is given as the cross product of the magnetic field B and magnetic dipole moment U

Torque = B x U =B*U*Sine(theta)

But since the magnetic field is directed parallel to the plane of the coil from the question, it means that the angle between them is zero and sine zero is equals 0(zero) if you substitute that into the formula for torque you will find out that your torque would equals zero(0)N.m
