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.

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave ___ the frequency of the wave ________.
adoni [48]

Answer:

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave _decrease__ the frequency of the wave _increase_______.

Explanation:

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency is:

V= fλ

where v= velocity

           f= frequency

            λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ  

also f ∝ 1/λ

For electromagnetic radiation, the speed is equal to the speed of light, c, and the equation becomes:

C= fλ

where c= Speed of light

           f= frequency

            λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ  

also f ∝ 1/λ

The weight of a luggage is 69.3 N on the moon. Find its weight on the Earth.​
kiruha [24]

Answer:

415.8N

Explanation:

Given:

weight of a luggage = 69.3 N

But

✓(weight on the Earth) is equivalent to 6 times weight if the moon.

✓Then, weight on the Earth) =( 69.3N × 6)

✓weight on the Earth) = 415.8N

4. Which point on this position vs. time graph has the fastest speed?
galben [10]

Answer:

Since v = (x(2) - x(1)) / t

point 2 obviously has the greatest displacement in a given time

Also, point 2 is the steepest line on this graph.
