PHYSICS CIRCUIT QUESTION PLEASE HELP!! 20 Points!

Physics

This really calls for a blackboard and a hunk of chalk, but
I'm going to try and do without.

If you want to understand what's going on, then PLEASE
keep drawing visible as you go through this answer, either
on the paper or else on a separate screen.

The energy dissipated by the circuit is the energy delivered by
the battery.  We'd know what that is if we knew  I₁ .  Everything that
flows in this circuit has to go through  R₁ , so let's find  I₁  first.

-- R₃ and R₄ in series make 6Ω.
-- That 6Ω in parallel with R₂ makes 3Ω.
-- That 3Ω in series with R₁ makes 10Ω across the battery.
--  I₁ is  10volts/10Ω  =  1 Ampere.

-- R1:  1 ampere through 7Ω ... V₁ = I₁ · R₁ = 7 volts .

-- The battery is 10 volts. 
    7 of the 10 appear across R₁ .
   So the other 3 volts appear across all the business at the bottom.

-- R₂:  3 volts across it = V₂. 
           Current through it is  I₂ = V₂/R₂ = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Amp.

-- R3 + R4:  6Ω in the series combination
                     3 volts across it
                     Current through it is I = V₂/R = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Ampere

--  Remember that the current is the same at every point in
a series circuit.  I₃  and  I₄  must be the same 1/2 Ampere,
because there's no place in the branch where electrons can
be temporarily stored, no place for them to leak out, and no
supply of additional electrons.

-- R₃:  1/2 Ampere through it = I₃ .
           1/2 Ampere through 2Ω ... V₃ = I₃ · R₃ = 1 volt

-- R₄:  1/2 Ampere through it = I₄
           1/2 Ampere through 4Ω ... V₄ = I₄ · R₄ = 2 volts

Notice that  I₂  is 1/2 Amp, and (I₃ , I₄) is also 1/2 Amp.
So the sum of currents through the two horizontal branches is 1 Amp,
which exactly matches  I₁  coming down the side, just as it should.
That means that at the left side, at the point where R₁, R₂, and R₃ all
meet, the amount of current flowing into that point is the same as the
amount flowing out ... electrons are not piling up there.

Concerning energy, we could go through and calculate the energy
dissipated by each resistor and then addum up.  But why bother ?
The energy dissipated by the resistors has to come from the battery,
so we only need to calculate how much the battery is supplying, and
we'll have it.

The power supplied by the battery  = (voltage) · (current)

                                                         =  (10 volts) · (1 Amp) = 10 watts .

"Watt" means "joule per second".
The resistors are dissipating 10 joules per second,
and the joules are coming from the battery.

             (30 minutes) · (60 sec/minute)  =  1,800 seconds

             (10 joules/second) · (1,800 seconds)  =  18,000 joules  in 30 min

The power (joules per second) dissipated by each individual resistor is

                       P  =  V² / R
             or
                       P  =  I² · R ,

whichever one you prefer.  They're both true.

If you go through the 4 resistors, calculate each one, and addum up, you'll
come out with the same 10 watts / 18,000 joules total. 

They're not asking for that.  But if you did it and you actually got the same
numbers as the battery is supplying, that would be a really nice confirmation
that all of your voltages and currents are correct.

Which interaction between x-ray photons and matter results in total absorption of the incident photon?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Photoelectric effect        

Explanation:

In the photoelectric effect, when an x-ray strikes on a metal surface, the energy is completely absorbed by the metal. If the energy would be equal to or more than work function of  metal, electron ejects out. The kinetic energy of the electron which is ejected depends on the energy of the incident radiation and work function of the metal.

The magnetic field inside a toroid is uniform.<br> a. True<br> b. False
jeyben [28]

The concept that must be applied to solve this problem is that of the magnetic field on Toroid described since the law of Ampere. Mathematically the magnetic field is determined as

B = \frac{\mu_0 NI}{2\pi r}

Where

\mu_0= Permeability constant

N = Number of loops

I = Current

r = Radius

As we can see the magnetic field inside a Toroid is NOT uniform, since it is highly proportional to the radius. Which means that as the radius increases the magnetic field decreases.

Therefore the correct answer is: FALSE

Ask Your Teacher Two long, straight wires are parallel and 11 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.9 A, the other a current of 5
dsp73

Answer:

The magnitude of force per unit length of one wire on the other is 2.7945\times 10^{-5}\ N and the direction is away from one another

The magnitude of force per unit length of one wire on the other is 2.7945\times 10^{-5}\ N and the direction is towards each other.

Explanation:

\mu_0 = Vacuum permeability = 4\pi\times 10^{-7}\ N/A^2

i_1 = Current in first wire = 2.9 A

i_2 = Current in second wire = 5.3 A

r = Gap between the wires = 11 cm

Force per unit length

F_{12}=F_{21}=\frac{\mu_0 i_1i_2}{2\pi r}\\ =\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 2.9\times 5.3}{2\pi 0.11}\\ =2.7945\times 10^{-5}\ N

The magnitude of force per unit length of one wire on the other is 2.7945\times 10^{-5}\ N and the direction is away from one another

F_{12}=F_{21}=\frac{\mu_0 i_1i_2}{2\pi r}\\ =\frac{4\pi\times 10^{-7}\times 2.9\times 5.3}{2\pi 0.11}\\ =2.7945\times 10^{-5}\ N

The magnitude of force per unit length of one wire on the other is 2.7945\times 10^{-5}\ N and the direction is towards each other.

What acceleration would a 18 kg box have if we pushed it with a force of 250 N across a surface that
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

a=0.08\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a box, m = 18 kg

It is pushed with a force of 250 N

The coefficient of friction is 0.8

We need to find the acceleration of the box.

Normal force acting on the box,

N = mg

M = 18 × 10

N = 180 N

The force acting on the force in terms of coefficient of friction is given by :

F=\mu mg\\\\\text{or}\\\\ ma=\mu mg\\\\a=\dfrac{\mu }{g}\\\\a=\dfrac{0.8}{10}\\\\a=0.08\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the box is 0.08\ m/s^2
