Answer:

Equivalent resistance of this circuit is 1.6 ohms.

Explanation:

In the given figure, the three resistors are connected in parallel with 12 Volt battery. In parallel combination of resistors, the potential difference across each resistor is same but the current across each resistors divides.

The equivalent resistance is given by :

$\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{R_1}+\dfrac{1}{R_2}+\dfrac{1}{R_3}$

Here, R₁ = 3 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms and R₃ = 9 ohms

$\dfrac{1}{R_p}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{9}$

$R_p=1.6\ \Omega$

Hence, the equivalent resistance of this circuit is 1.6 ohms.

A parallel-plate capacitor has area A and plate separation d, and it is charged to voltage V. Use the formulas from the problem

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

Explanation:

Where C= capacitance of the capacitor

ε0= permittivity of free space

A= cross sectional area of plates

d= distance between the plates

V= potential difference

First, the capacitance of a capacitor is obtained by:

C = ε0A/d.

Starting at the formula , U= (CV^2)/2. Formula for energy stored in a capacitor

Substitute in for C:

U = (ε0A/d) * V^2 / 2

Hence:

U = (ε0AV^2) / 2d

(a) Calculate the buoyant force on a 2.00-L helium balloon.

iragen [17]

Answer:

0.0239364 N

0.0057879 N

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Density of the gas

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

V = Volume

Mass of rubber = 1.5 g

Buoyant force is given by

$F_b=\rho gV\\\Rightarrow F_b=1.22\times 9.81\times 2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow F_b=0.0239364\ N$

The buoyant force is 0.0239364 N

Net vertical force is given by

$F_n=F_b-W_{He}-W_{r}\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0239364-0.175\times 2\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81-1.5\times 10^{-3}\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F_n=0.0057879\ N$

The net vertical force is 0.0057879 N

Two facing surfaces of two large parallel conducting plates separated by 8.5 cm have uniform surface charge densities such that

elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV

A 1000kg car is rolling slowly across a level surface at 1 m/s heading twoards a group o fsmall innocent children. The doors are

Degger [83]

Answer:

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the car, m = 1000 kg

Initial speed of the car, u = 1 m/s

The car and push on the hood at an angle of 30° below horizontal, $\theta=30^{\circ}$

Distance, d = 2 m

Let F is the force must you push to stop the car.

According work energy theorem theorem, the work done is equal to the change in kinetic energy as :

$W=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)F\times d=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)$

$v = 0$

$Fd\ cos\theta=\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2) F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}m(u^2)}{d\ cos\theta}F=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1000\times (1)^2}{2\ cos(30)}F = -288.67 N$

The force required to push to stop the car is 288.67 N
