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

Earning Goal: To be able to calculate work done by a constant force directed at different angles relative to displacement
lana [24]

Answer:

the work done by the 30N force is 4156.92 J.

For this problem, they don´t ask you to determine the work of the total force applied in the block. They only want the work done for the force of 30N, with an angle of 30º respectively of the displacement and a traveled distance of 160m. So:

W=F·s·cos(α)=30N·160m·cos(30º)=4156.92J

Answer:

    q = q₀ sin (wt)

Explanation:

In your statement it is not clear the type of circuit you are referring to, there are two possibilities.

1) The circuit of this problem is a system formed by an Ac voltage source and a capacitor, in this case all the voltage of the source is equal to the voltage at the terminals of the capacitor

                    ΔV = ΔV_{C}

we assume that the source has a voltage of the form

                    ΔV = ΔV₀o sin wt

The capacitance of a capacitor is

                   C = q / ΔV

                  q = C ΔV sin wt

the current in the circuit is

                    i = dq / dt

                    i = c ΔV₀ w cos wt

if we use

                  cos wt = sin (wt + π / 2)

we make this change by being a resonant oscillation

we substitute

                  i = w C ΔV₀ sin (wt + π/2)

With this answer we see that the current in capacitor has a phase factor of π/2 with respect to the current

2) Another possible circuit is an LC circuit.

In this case the voltage alternates between the inductor and the capacitor

                     V_{L} + V_{C} = 0

                      L di / dt + q / C = 0

the current is

                      i = dq / dt

                       

they ask us for a solution so that

                    L d²q / dt² + 1 / C q = 0

                     d²q / dt² + 1 / LC q = 0

this is a quadratic differential equation with solution of the form

                    q = A sin (wt + Ф)

to find the constant we derive the proposed solution and enter it into the equation

                di / dt = Aw cos (wt + Ф)

                d²i / dt²= - A w² sin (wt + Ф)

                 - A w² + 1 /LC  A = 0

                  w = √ (1 / LC)

To find the phase factor, for this we use the initial conditions for t = 0

in the case of condensate for t = or the charge is zero

                 0 = A sin Ф

                  Ф = 0

             

                  q = q₀ sin (wt)

What do you think we call this graphical representation based on your prior experience with electric fields and electric field l
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The strengthcompassion field is proportional to the closeness of the field lines—more precisely, it is proportional to the number of lines per unit area perpendicular to the lines. The direction of the electric field is tangent to the field line at any point in space. Field lines can never cross. These pattern of lines, sometimes referred to as electric field lines, point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate if placed upon the line. As such, the lines are directed away from positively charged source charges and toward negatively charged source charges.

Rules for drawing electric field lines

1. Electric field lines are always drawn from High potential to

low potential.

2. Two electric field lines can never intersect each other.

3. The net electric field inside a Conductor is Zero.

4. Electric field line from a positive charge is drawn radially outwards and from a negative charge radially inwards.

5. The density of electric field lines tells the strength of the electric field at that region.

6. Electric field lines terminate Perpendicularly to the surface of a conductor.

A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.

So, electric fields are vector quantity due to the fact any student can tell you that a compass is used to determine which direction is north.

Since the compass always point northward, then it has a direction and magnitude and so it is a vector quantity
