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

Gauss’ law: a. Relates the surface charge density to the electric field.b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surf
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

b. Relates the electric field at points on a closed surface to the net charge enclosed by that surface

Explanation:

Gauss's law states that the flux of certain fields through a closed surface is proportional to the magnitude of the sources of that field within the same surface. The electric flux expresses the measure of the electric field that crosses a certain surface. Therefore, the electric field on a closed surface is proportional to the net charge enclosed by that surface.

Which of think following materials is the best is the best choice for an insulating material?
RSB [31]
You are correct, the answer is C. 

Good insulators are materials that do not allow heat, electricity, light or sound pass through easily. Materials like steel and silver (which are metals) are not good insulators because they make good conductors. They easily allow heat, electricity and the like pass through them. 

Thus, the answer is letter C. Rubber.

How would you describe the difference between momentum and angular momentum?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Analogous

Explanation:

Momentum is linear

Angular momentum is spinning

momentum is based on the mass and has no geometric component.

Angular momentum is based on moment of inertia and greatly depends on how far the mass is from the center of spin.

Singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 2.20 kV and enter a uniform magnetic field of
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

r = 0.0548 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Singly charged uranium-238 ions are accelerated through a potential difference of 2.20 kV and enter a uniform magnetic field of 1.90 T directed perpendicular to their velocities.

We need to find the radius of their circular path. The formula for the radius of path is given by :

r=\dfrac{1}{B}\sqrt{\dfrac{2mV}{q}}

m is mass of Singly charged uranium-238 ion, m=3.95\times 10^{-25}\ kg

q is charge

So,

r=\dfrac{1}{1.9}\times \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 3.95\times 10^{-25}\times 2.2\times 10^3}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}}\\\\r=0.0548\ m

So, the radius of their circular path is equal to 0.0548 m.
