1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].
2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].
3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].
4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].
Answer:
F' = F/16
Explanation:
The gravitational force between masses is given by :
If the distance between the center of two objects is quadrupled, r' = 4r
New force will be :
So, the new force will change by a factor of 16.
Answer:
A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.
Explanation:
As we can assume that the rate of snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:
T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr
A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:
A=4.pi.R^2
Then dividing the areas:
A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) = (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9
Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:
T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr
Answer: Primary coil
A Step-down transformer is an electrical device which is used to decrease the voltage using magnetic induction. The windings of the primary coil are more than the windings of the secondary coils. h1, h2 notations are used to refer to primary coils. On the other hand, x1, x2 notations are used to refer to the secondary coils of the transformer. In case of step-up transformer, the windings of primary coil are less than the secondary in order to increase the voltage.
