Does current flow through or across a resistor?

Physics
2 answers:
Tanzania [10]3 years ago

It's not exactly clear what you think the difference is between "through" and "across".

A resistor has two wires.  Electric current that flows into one wire, continues <em>through</em> the entire body of the resistor and out <em>through</em> the other wire.  If there's a crack or break anywhere along the body of the resistor, the circuit will be 'open' and the current will stop flowing.

Now, if you were to connect a <em>voltmeter</em> between the ends of the resistor, the meter would measure and indicate the difference in electric potential between those two points.  That would be called the voltage '<u><em>across</em></u>' the resistor.  Numerically, it would be equal to the product of the resistor's resistance and the current through it.

Consider the two-body situation at the right. A 300kg crate rests on an inclined plane and is connected by a cable to a 100 kg m
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a= 0.578 m/s

T = 1037.8 N

Explanation:

Data

m₁= 300 kg

m₂= 100 kg

inclined plane, θ =  30°

μk = 0.120

Newton's second law to m₁:

We define the x-axis in the direction parallel to the movement of the 300kg (m₁) crate on the ramp and the y-axis in the direction perpendicular to it.

∑F = m₁*a Formula (1)

Forces acting on m₁

W₁: m₁ weight : In vertical direction

N : Normal force : perpendicular to the inclined plane

f : Friction force: parallel to the inclined plane

T:  cable tension : parallel to inclined plane

Calculated of the W₁

W₁=m₁*g

W₁= 300kg* 9.8 m/s² = 2940 N

x-y weight components

W₁x= W₁sin θ =2940 N*sin(30)° =1470 N

W₁y= W₁cos θ =2940 N *cos(30)° =2156.4 N

Calculated of the N

We apply the formula (1)

∑Fy = m*ay    ay = 0

N - W₁y = 0

N = W₁y

N = 2156.4 N

Calculated of the f

f = μk* N= (0.120)*(2156.4 N)

f = 258.77 N

Newton's second law to m₁ in direction  x-axis :

∑Fx = m₁*ax   ,ax  =a

We assume that m₁ descends on the inclined plane and we positively take the direction of movement:

wx-f-T = m*a

wx - f - m*a =T

1470  -258.77 -300*a =T

T= 1211.23-300*a   Equation (1)

Newton's second law to m₂

∑Fy = m₂*ay   ,ay  =a

Forces acting on m₂

W₂: m₂ weight : In vertical direction

T:  cable tension:In vertical direction

Calculated of the W₂

W₂=m₂*g

W₂= 100kg* 9.8 m/s² = 980 N

∑Fy = m₂*a

Because we assume that m₁ descends on the inclined plane, then, m₂ ascends  vertically, we take positive the direction of movement:

T-W₂ = m₂*a

T-980 = 100*a

T = 980 + 100*a Equation (2)

Problem development

Equation (1) =  Equation (2) = T

1211.23-300*a= 980  + 100*a

1211.23- 980 = 100*a + 300*a

231.23 = 400*a

a= 231.23 / 400

a= 0.578 m/s

Because the acceleration tested positive then effectively m₁ descends on the inclined plane and m₂ ascends  vertically.

We replace a= 0.578 m/s in the equatión (2)

T = 980 + 100* (0.578 )

T = 1037.8 N

A snowball accelerates at
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

0. 1226495726kg

Explanation:

Force is the product of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically,

Force(F) = mass (m)×acceleration(a)

Substituting the values into the equation

2. 87=m×23. 4

2. 87=m (23. 4)

2. 87/23. 4=m (23. 4)/23. 4

2. 87/23. 4=m

0. 1226495726=m

8. two +1 C charges are separated by 3000m. What is the magnitude of the electric force between them?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

1000 N

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb constant

q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges

r is the distance between the two objects

Moreover, the force is:

- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign

- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign

In this problem:

q_1=q_2=+1C are the two charges

r = 3000 m is their separation

Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:

F=(9\cdot 10^9)\frac{(1)(1)}{3000^2}=1000 N

The first car has twice the mass of a second car, but only half as much kinetic energy. When both cars increase their speed by 9
kirill [66]

Answer:

Speed of the car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of the car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the car 1 , M₁ = Twice the mass of car 2(M₂)

mathematically,

M₁ = 2M₂

Kinetic Energy of the car 1 = Half the kinetic energy of the car 2

KE₁ = 0.5 KE₂

Now, the kinetic energy for a body is given as

KE =\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where,

m = mass of the body

v = velocity of the body

thus,

\frac{1}{2}M_1V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times \frac{1}{2}M_2V_2^2

or

2M_2V_1^2=0.5\times M_2V_2^2

or

2V_1^2=0.5\times V_2^2

or

4V_1^2= V_2^2

or

2V_1= V_2  .................(1)

also,

\frac{1}{2}M_1(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(V_2+9.0)^2

or

\frac{1}{2}2M_2(V_1+9.0)^2=\frac{1}{2}M_2(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

2(V_1+9.0)^2=(2V_1+9.0)^2

or

\sqrt{2}(V_1+9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ \sqrt{2}\times 9.0)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(\sqrt{2}V_1+ 12.72)=(2V_1+9.0)

or

(2V_1-\sqrt{2}V_1)=(12.72-9.0)

or

(0.404V_1)=(3.72)

or

V_1=8.98m/s

and, from equation (1)

V_2=2\times 8.98m/s = 17.96m/s

Hence,

Speed of car 1 =V_1=8.98m/s

Speed of car 2 =V_2=17.96m/s
