Correct question: When two resistors are connected in parallel across a battery of unknown voltage, one resistor carries a current of 3.3 A while the second carries a current of 1.8 A .

What current will be supplied by the same battery if these two resistors are connected to it in series?

Answer:

1.164 A

Explanation:

From the question,

Let the unknown voltage of the batter = V.

Since the two resistors are connected in parallel,

The voltage across each of the resistor is the same = V,

Then,

From ohm's law,

V = IR................... Equation 1

Where V = Voltage, I = Current, R = Resistance.

make R the subject of the equation

R = V/I................ Equation 2

For the first resistor,

Given: I₁ = 3.3 A, V = V.

Substitute into equation 2

R₁ = V/3.3 Ω

For the second resistor,

Given: I₂ = 1.8 A

Substitute into equation 2

R₂ = V/1.8 Ω.

When the Resistors are connected in series,

Rt = R₁+R₂

Where Rt = Total resistance.

Rt = V/3.3+V/1.8

Rt = (1.8V+3.3V)/(3.3×1.8)

Rt = 5.1V/5.94

Rt = 0.859V.

Applying,

I' = V/Rt

where I' = current supplied by the battery, If the two resistors are connected in series

I' = V/0.859V

I' = 1.164 A

Two thin concentric spherical shells of radii r1 and r2 (r1 < r2) contain uniform surface charge densities V1 and V2, respect
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

So,

a)  0 < r < r1 :

We know that the Electric field inside the thin hollow shell is zero, if there is no charge inside it.

Hence, E = 0 for r < r1

b)  r1 < r < r2:

Electric field =?

Let, us consider the Gaussian Surface,

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} }

So,

Rearranging the above equation to get Electric field, we will get:

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Multiply and divide by r1^{2}

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } x \frac{r1^{2} }{r1^{2} }

Rearranging the above equation, we will get Electric Field for r1 < r < r2:

E= (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

c) r > r2 :

Electric Field = ?

E x 4 \pi r^{2}  = \frac{Q1 + Q2}{E_{0} }

Rearranging the above equation for E:

E = \frac{Q1+Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

As we know from above, that:

\frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } =  (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Then, Similarly,

\frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } = (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

So,

E = \frac{Q1}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   } + \frac{Q2}{E_{0} . 4 \pi. r^{2}   }

Replacing the above equations to get E:

E = (σ1 x r1^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2}) + (σ2 x r2^{2}) /(E_{0} x r^{2})

Now, for

d) Under what conditions,  E = 0, for r > r2?

For r > r2, E =0 if

σ1 x r1^{2} = - σ2 x r2^{2}

A diamond with a mass of 45 g hangs motionless from a chain. what is the upward force of the chain on the diamond?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The upward force of the chain on the diamond would be the tension in the chain, and this tension would have to support the weight of the 45g that hangs from the chain.

mass = 45 g = 45/1000 kg = 0.045kg

Weight = mg = 0.045 * 10 ≈ 0.45N,            g ≈ 10 m/s²

<span>So the upward force is ≈ </span><span>0.45N. </span>

Which of the following devices is associated with the reception of radio signals?
ki77a [65]
What are the "following" devices ? ?
I think they're a list of choices that you have but aren't sharing.

A few devices associated with the reception of various types of
radio signals include the resonant tank, the local oscillator, the
mixer, the detector, the coherer, the discriminator, the parabolic
reflector, the lecher wires, the audio transducer, the demultiplexer,
and ... my personal guess ... the 'antenna' or 'aerial'.
