Does current flow through or across a resistor?

Physics

Tanzania [10]4 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 a uniformly wound solenoid having N=210 turns, length l=0.18 m, and cross-sectional area A = 4.00 cm2. Assume l is much
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Number of turns

N = 210turns

Length of solenoid

l = 0.18m

Cross sectional area

A = 4cm² = 4 × 10^-4m²

A. Inductance L?

Inductance can be determined using

L = N²μA/l

Where

μ is a constant of permeability of the core

μ = 4π × 10^-7 Tm/A

A is cross sectional area

l is length of coil

L is inductance

Therefore

L = N²μA / l

L=210² × 4π × 10^-7 × 4 × 10^-4 / 0.18

L = 1.23 × 10^-4 H

L = 0.123 mH

B. Self induce EMF ε?

EMF is given as

ε = -Ldi/dt

Since rate of decrease of current is 120 A/s

Then, di/dt = —120A/s, since the current is decreasing

Then,

ε = -Ldi/dt

ε = - 1.23 × 10^-4 × -120

ε = 0.01478 V

ε ≈ 0.015 V

Differences between fundamental and derived quantities​
monitta

Answer:

Fundamental quantities are quantities that were created to measure a object/substance which are the basis on which derived quantities are formed, where as derived quantities are created by extracting variables from the fundamental quantities.

Cloudy nights are usually warm because​
almond37 [142]

Answer:

When you have a cloudy night, the clouds prevent heat from escaping through the atmosphere and into space.

The clouds act like a blanket and trap the heat it, and that is why every time you have a cloudy night, it is always warmer than a clear night.

Calculate the magnitude of the particle accelerator's magnetic field that causes an ionized helium atom (+2q e) with a momentum
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The magnetic field of the particle is 1.5 T.

(C) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Momentum of particle p=4.8\times10^{-16}\ kg m/s

Radius = 1.0 km

Charge of the particle q=2\times1.6\times10^{-19}\ C

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using relation of radius of path in magnetic field

r=\dfrac{mv}{qB}

Here mv = p

B=\dfrac{p}{qr}

Put the value into the formula

B=\dfrac{4.8\times10^{-16}}{1000\times2\times1.6\times10^{-19}}

B=1.5\ T

Hence, The magnetic field of the particle is 1.5 T.
