1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

P=I^2 R

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W

For the second bulb:

P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W

Ten high-technology batteries are tested for 200 hours each. One failed at 20 hours; another failed at 140 hours; all others com
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

Failure rate   = 20%

MTBF = 880 hours

Explanation:

given data

batteries = 10

tested = 200 hours

one failed = 20 hours

another fail at =  140 hours

solution

we know that Mean Time between Failures is express as = (Total up time) ÷  (number of breakdowns)    ....................1

so here Total up time will be

Total up time = 200 × 10

Total up time = 2000

and here

Number of breakdown = 1 at 20 hour and another at 140 hour = 2

so it will be  = (Total up time) ÷ (number of breakdowns)      .......2

=  \frac{2000}{2}   =  1000  

so here gap between occurrences is

gap between occurrences=  140 - 20

gap between occurrences = 120 hour

and

MTBF  will be

MTBF = 1000 - 120

MTBF = 880 hours  

and

Failure rate (FR)  will be

Failure rate (FR) =  1 ÷ MTBF    ................3

Failure rate (FR) = R÷T     ......................4

as here R is the number of failures and T is total time

so Failure rate (FR)  = 20%

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the magnitude of the dri
nordsb [41]

Complete Question

A 10 gauge copper wire carries a current of 20 A. Assuming one free electron per copper atom, calculate the drift velocity of the electrons. (The cross-sectional area of a 10-gauge wire is 5.261 mm2.) mm/s

Answer:

The drift velocity is v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The current on the copper is  I  = 20 \ A

     The cross-sectional area is  A =  5.261 \ mm^2 =  5.261 *10^{-6} \ m^2

The number of copper atom in the wire is  mathematically evaluated

      n  =  \frac{\rho *  N_a}Z}

Where \rho is the density of copper with a value \rho =  8.93 \ g/m^3

          N_a is the Avogadro's number with a value N_a  = 6.02 *10^{23}\ atom/mol

         Z  is the molar mass of copper with a value  Z =  63.55 \ g/mol

So

     n  =  \frac{8.93 * 6.02 *10^{23}}{63.55}

     n  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  atoms /m^3

Given the 1 atom is equivalent to 1 free electron then the number of free electron is  

         N  = 8.46 * 10^{28}  \  electrons

The current through the wire is mathematically represented as

         I  =  N * e * v * A

substituting values

        20 =  8.46 *10^{28} * (1.60*10^{-19}) * v *  5.261 *10^{-6}

=>     v  = 0.0002808 \ m/s

REY [17]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

<u>First case</u>

Vf = 6 [m/s]

Vo = 2 [m/s]

t = 2 [s]

6=2+a*2\\4=2*a\\a=2[m/s^{2} ]

<u>Second case</u>

Vf = 25 [m/s]

Vo = 5 [m/s]

a = 2 [m/s²]

25=5+2*t\\t = 10 [s]

<u>Third case</u>

Vo =4 [m/s]

a = 10 [m/s²]

t = 2 [s]

v_{f}=4+10*2\\v_{f}=24 [m/s]

<u>Fourth Case</u>

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

v_{f}=5+8*10\\v_{f}=85 [m/s]

<u>Fifth case</u>

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

8=v_{o}+4*2\\v_{0}=8-8\\v_{o}=0
