When a resistor is connected to a 12 volt source, it draws a 185 mA current. what's the resistance? (I said 65 ohms). the same r

Resistance-1 = (voltage-1) / (current-1) =

                       (12 V)  /  (0.185 A)  =  64.9 ohms .

Resistance-2 = (voltage-2) / (current-2) =
 
                           (90 V )  /  (1.25 A)  =  72 ohms .

The resistance changed between situation-1 and situation-2 .
How did that happen ?

Power = (voltage) x (current)

Power-1 = (12)  x  (0.185)  =  2.22 watts

Power-2 = (90)  x  (1.25)  =  112.5 watts

The poor resistor dissipated 51 times as much power during
the second trial.  It got all heated up, and its resistance went
through the roof.

Carbon resistors behave nicely and reliably, until you try to
toast bread or light up your bedroom with them.

nignag [31]
<span>Depends on the precision you're working to. proton mass ~ 1.00728 amu neutron mass ~ 1.00866 amu electron mass ~ electron mass = 0.000549 amu Binding mass is: mass of constituents - mass of atom Eg for nitrogen: (7*1.00728)-(7*1.00866)-(7*0.000549) -14.003074 = 0.11235amu Binding energy is: E=mc^2 where c is the speed of light. Nuclear physics is usually done in MeV[1] where 1 amu is about 931.5MeV/c^2. So: 0.11235 * 931.5 = 104.6MeV Binding energy per nucleon is total energy divided by number of nucleons. 104.6/14 = 7.47MeV This is probably about right; it sounds like the right size! Do the same thing for D/E/F and recheck using your numbers & you shouldn't go far wrong :) 1 - have you done this? MeV is Mega electron Volts, where one electronVolt (or eV) is the change in potential energy by moving one electron up a 1 volt potential. ie energy = charge * potential, so 1eV is about 1.6x10^-19J (the same number as the charge of an electron but in Joules). It's a measure of energy, but by E=mc^2 you can swap between energy and mass using the c^2 factor. Most nuclear physicists report mass in units of MeV/c^2 - so you know that its rest mass energy is that number in MeV.</span>

if an object exposed to salt water that seeps into cracks and forms crystals what is likely to occur?
suter [353]
Breakage and/or expansion I'm pretty sure
Also, larger cracks bc of the crystallization of the salt water
