Answer:

For series connected resistors I = 0.5A

For parallel connected resistors I = 8.5A

Explanation:

Since the diagram is not available, our solution will be divided into two;

According to ohm's law which states that "the current passing through a,metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference across its ends. Mathematically, E = IRt where;

E is the electromotive force

I is the total current in the circuit

Rt is total equivalent resistance.

Where E = 12volts

Rt can be gotten depending on the arrangements of the resistors which can either be in series or parallel.

If the resistors are in series, their equivalent resistance gives;

Rt = 4.0Ω+6Ω+8Ω+6Ω

Rt = 24Ω

The current I will be;

I = E/Rt = 12/24

I = 0.5A

If the connection is in series, the total current in the circuit will be 0.5A.

For resistance in parallel;

1/Rt = 1/4Ω+1/6Ω+1/8Ω+1/6Ω

1/Rt = 6+4+3+4/24

1/Rt = 17/24

Rt = 24/17Ω

I = E/Rt

I = 12/(24/17)

I = 12×17/24

I = 8.5A

If the connection is in parallel, the total current in the circuit will be 8.5A

Here is the complete question:

https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/magnetic-field-372-t-achieved-mit-francis-bitter-national-magnetic-laboratory-find-current-q900632

a) Current for long straight wire $=3.7\ MA$

b) Current at the center of the circular coil $=2.48\times 10^{5}\ A$

c) Current near the center of a solenoid $236.8\ A$

Explanation:

⇒ Magnetic Field due to long straight wire is given by (B),where $B=\frac{\mu\times I}{2\pi(r) },so\ I=\frac{B\ 2\pi(r)}{\mu}$

$\mu=4\pi \times 10^{-7}\ \frac{henry}{m}$

Plugging the values,

Conversion $1\times 10^6 A = 1\ MA$ ,and $2cm=\frac{2}{100}=0.02\ m$

$I=\frac{37.2\times \ 2\pi(0.02)}{4\ \pi \times (10^{-7})}=3.7\ MA$

⇒Magnetic Field at the center due to circular coil (at center) is given by, $B=\frac{\mu\times I (N)}{2(a)}$

So $I= \frac{2B(a)}{\mu\ N} = \frac{2\times 37.2\times 0.42}{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 100}=2.48\time 10{^5}\ A$

⇒Magnetic field due to the long solenoid, $B=\mu\ nI=\mu (\frac{N}{l})I$

Then $I=\frac{B}{\mu(\frac{N}{L})} \approx 236.8\A$

So the value of current are $3.7 MA$ , $2.48\times 10^{5} A$ and $236.8\ A$ respectively.

A small barge is being used to transport trucks across a river. If the barge is 10.00 m long by 8.00 m wide and sinks an additio

Step2247 [10]

Answer: Weight truck+load = 29.4× $10^{3}$ N

Explanation: When an object floats in a fluid, there is an upward force, caused by the liquid, acting on the object that opposes the weight of the immersed object. This force is called <u>Buyoyant</u> <u>Force</u> and is determined by:

B = d*V*g

where

d is density of the fluid;

V is volume of liquid displaced due to the immersed object;

g is acceleration due to gravity;

For the truck, the system is in equilibrium, which means buyoyant force is equal weight. Then:

Volume displaced is

V = 10*8*0.0375

V = 3 $m^{3}$

Density of water: 1000kg/ $m^{3}$

$F_{P} = F_{B}$

$F_{P}$ = 1000*3*9.8

$F_{P}$ = 29.4× $10^{3}$ N

The weight of the truck and the load is 29.4× $10^{3}$ Newtons

. An object has a position given by ~r(t) = [3.0 m − (4.00 m/s)t]ˆı + [6.0 m − (8.00 m/s2 )t 2 ]ˆ , where all quantities are in

kupik [55]

Answer:

(c) 16 m/s²

Explanation:

The position is $r(t) = [3.0 \text{ m} - (4.00 \text{ m/s})t]\hat{i} + [6.0 \text{m} - (8.00 \text{ m/s}^2 )t^2 ]\hat{j}$ .

The velocity is the first time-derivative of <em>r(t).</em>

<em /> $v(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt}r(t) = -4.00\,\hat{i} -16t\,\hat{j}$ <em />

The acceleration is the first time-derivative of the velocity.

$a(t) = \dfrac{d}{dt} v(t) = -16\hat{j}$

Since <em>a(t)</em> does not have the variable <em>t</em>, it is constant. Hence, at any time,

$a = -16\hat{j}$

Its magnitude is 16 m/s².
