A wire of resistance R is cut into ten equal parts which are then connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance of the combin

Greeley [361]

Answer:

<em>The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100</em>

Explanation:

<u>Electric Resistance</u>

The electric resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length. If a wire of resistance R is cut into 10 equal parts, then each part has a resistance of R/10.

Parallel connection of resistances: If R1, R2, R3,...., Rn are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance is calculated as follows:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+...+\frac{1}{R_n}$

If we have 10 wires of resistance R/10 each and connect them in parallel, the equivalent resistance is:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}+\frac{1}{R/10}...+\frac{1}{R/10}$

This sum is repeated 10 times. Operating each term:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+\frac{10}{R}+...+\frac{10}{R}$

All the terms have the same denominator, thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{R_e}=10\frac{10}{R}=\frac{100}{R}$

Taking the reciprocals:

$R_e=R/100$

The equivalent resistance of the combination is R/100

While refrigerant 410a is a near azeotropic refrigerant, it is still best when charging to remove the r-410a as a _______ from t

andreev551 [17]

While refrigerant 410a is a near azeotropic refrigerant, it is still best when charging to remove the r-410a as a liquid from the storage cylinder.
Azeotrope means a constant boiling mixture. it is a mixture of two or more liquids,by simple distillation whose proportions cannot be changed. A mixture behaving purely is azeotropic and the mixture which behave differently is called non-azeotropic.

Two electric charges are moved so that they are twice as far apart as they had originally been. Is the force they experience fro

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

No.

Explanation:

The force that two particle experience is inversely proportional to the sqare of the distance, this is:

$F \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{D^{2}}$ for a distance D

If we move them so that D is doubled:

$\frac{1}{2^{2}.D^{2} }$ = $\frac{1}{4} \eq \frac{1}{.D^{2} } \eq$

Then the force they experience is one fourth of the original.

A space probe produces a radio signal pulse. If the pulse reaches Earth 12.3 seconds after it is emitted by the probe, what is t

adoni [48]

Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s
