1) My 14V car battery could be used to charge my laptop, but I need to use an inverter to first convert it to a standard 120V. T

hen my laptop charge cord has a resistor inside which ensures that 1.6A of current flow through to the laptop. What is the resistance in the charge cord?
2) My laptop charge cord actually has another inverter inside tat converts the electricity to 19.5V and 3.33A. What is the resistance in the cord that accomplishes this?

Answer:

1) Charge chord resistance is 75 Ω

2) Charge chord resistance is 6.33 Ω

Explanation:

1) To answer the question, we note that the the formula voltage is found as follows;

V = IR

Therefore,

R = \frac{V}{I} =  \frac{120}{1.6} = 75  \, \Omega

2) Where the voltage, V = 19.5 V and the current, I = 3.33 A, we have;

Initial resistance R₁ = 19.5 V/(3.33 A) = 5.86 Ω

However, to reduce the current to 1.6 A, we have;

R_T = \frac{19.5}{1.6} = 12.1875 \ \Omega

Therefore, where the resistance is found by the sum of the total resistance we have;

R_T = R₁ + Charge chord resistance

∴ 12.1875 = 5.86 + Charge chord resistance

Hence, charge chord resistance = 6.33 Ω

Schach [20]

Answer:

d. The earth rotates around the sun

Explanation:

  • Nicolas Copernicus is considered the first person to give the theory of heliocentric, or Sun-centered system of our planetary system.
  • In the heliocentric system, it is considered that the sun is stationary and the earth revolves around the sun.
  • He stated that the sun is at the center of the universe and the earth spins on its axis once daily and revolves around the sun in one year.
  • And today we know it is correct that earth rotates on its own axis and also revolves around the sun.

A battery has a potential resistance of 12 V and a current of 1280 mA. What is the resistance? PLS HELP ME ASAPPPPPPPPPP
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Resistance (R) = <u>9.375 ohm (Ω)</u>

Steps:

R =   \frac{V}{I}

=    \frac{12 \: volt}{1280 \:  milliampere}

=  \frac{12 \: volt}{1.28 \: ampare}

= 9.375 \: ohm (Ω)
