Does current flow through or across a resistor?

Physics

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.

What observations of the martian surface led lowell to the conclusion that intelligent life forms existed on mars?
Alexus [3.1K]

Icecaps that are dissolving, a system of canal-like geometric features, and various pitch black surface markings are all thought to be vegetation are the observations of the martian surface led Lowell to the conclusion that intelligent life forms existed on Mars.

<h3>What is a solar system?</h3>

It is a system that collection of all the planets and spatial bodies revolving around the sun because of the gravitational pull of the sun.

Our Solar System is based on a heliocentric model in which the Sun is assumed to reside at the central point of the planetary system.

In other words, the Sun is at the center while the Earth and other planetary bodies revolve around it.

Lowell came to the conclusion that intelligent life existed on Mars based on his observations of the martian surface, which included melting icecaps, a network of geometric patterns that resemble canals, and numerous markings on the completely black surface that are believed to be flora.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 |F-->1| =  E-->1 x charge on proton

= 300 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

Magnitude of electric force on proton

|F-->1| = 480 x 10⁻¹⁹ N .

Inside lithium nucleus , there are three protons so charge on it

= 3 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ = 4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹ C .

Magnitude of electric force on lithium nucleus

|F-->Li|  =   E-->1 x charge on lithium nucleus

= 300 x  4.8 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 1440 x 10⁻¹⁹ N .

Electron has same charge as that possessed by proton so charge on electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Magnitude of force on electron

|F-->1| =  E-->1 x charge on electron

= 300 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

=  480 x 10⁻¹⁹ N .
