Answer:

Increases, increases

Explanation:

The current is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance. The implication of this is that, whenever the voltage is increased, the current increases simultaneously. On the other hand, if the resistance is increased, the current will decrease accordingly and vice versa.

Recall that power is given by P= V^2/R where;

P= power, V= voltage and R= resistance

We can see that power and resistance are inversely related hence decreasing the resistance increases the power output of the lightbulb.

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, \rho=2300\ \Omega-m

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, V=1\times 10^3\ V

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

What will occur if a resistor with high resistance is inserted into a circuit?
Anton [14]
If the resistor is in series with the rest of the circuit then a is the correct answer. The voltage across the resistor in series with another resistor is
V \frac{R}{R+r}
where R is the big resistor and r is the small one and V is the total voltage drop across both.  This is called a voltage divider

Two identical loudspeakers 2.30 m apart are emitting sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Abby is standi
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Abby is standing (4.5^2 + 2.3^2)^1/2   from the far speaker

D2 = 5.05 m from the far speaker

The difference in distances from the speakers is

5.05 - 4.5 = .55 m     (Let y be wavelength, lambda)

n y = 4.5

(n + 1) y = 5.05 for the speakers to be in phase at smallest wavelength

y = .55 m          subtracting equations

f = v / y = 340 / .55 = 618 / sec     should be the smallest frequency
