How to tell if a circuit is connected in.a series.or parallel?

1 answer:

7 0

Series circuits split the voltage of resistors, so if you see several diodes connected <em>in series </em>or all next to each other, just a complete loop, it will be in series.

Parallel circuits split the current of resistors, so if you see several diodes connected along different branches or pathways, it will be in parallel.

A permanent magnet is pushed into a wire, left there for a while, and then pulled out. During which time does a current run thou

lakkis [162]

Answer:

C. while the magnet is moving

Explanation:

Electromagnetic induction implies the production of electric current by mere movement of a magnet with respect to a coil or wire.

In the given question, current would be induced in the wire only when the magnet moves. That is either when the magnet is pushed into a wire, or when pulled out. But no current would flow through the wire when the magnet is left there for a while.

The current is induced because of the motion involved. Thus, the appropriate option is C.

pochemuha

Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.

The angle between the two force of magnitude 20N and 15N is 60 degrees (20N force being horizontal) determine the resultant in m

BARSIC [14]

A) The resultant force is 30.4 N at $25.3^{\circ}$

B) The resultant force is 18.7 N at $43.9^{\circ}$

Explanation:

In order to find the resultant of the two forces, we must resolve each force along the x- and y- direction, and then add the components along each direction to find the components of the resultant.

The two forces are:

$F_1 = 20 N$ at $0^{\circ}$ above x-axis

$F_2 = 15 N$ at $60^{\circ}$ above y-axis

Resolving each force:

$F_{1x}=F_1 cos \theta = (20)(cos 0)=20 N\\F_{1y}=F_1 sin \theta =(20)(sin 0)=0 N$

$F_{2x}=F_2 cos \theta = (15)(cos 60)=7.5 N\\F_{2y}=F_2 sin \theta =(15)(sin 60)=13.0 N$

So, the components of the resultant are:

$F_x = F_{1x}+F_{2x}=20+7.5 = 27.5 N\\F_y = F_{1y}+F_{2y}=0+13.0=13.0 N$

And the magnitude of the resultant is:

$F=\sqrt{F_x^2+F_y^2}=\sqrt{27.5^2+13.0^2}=30.4 N$

And the direction is:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{F_y}{F_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{13.0}{27.5})=25.3^{\circ}$

In this case, the 15 N is applied in the opposite direction to the 20 N force. Therefore we need to re-calculate its components, keeping in mind that the angle of the 15 N force this time is

$\theta=180^{\circ}-60^{\circ}=120^{\circ}$
