Define resistance and describe what would happen to a lightbulb if the voltage increase but the resistance stay the same?

Physics

The first question is how much of a voltage increase are we looking at. If it has a 110 voltage rating and you put it across a 220 source, you will see one flash and then the bulb is no more. Nothing will revive it.

If it is rated at 110 and you put 130 across it, there's no problem but the bulb will burn out sooner than it would if you just put 110 across it.

So you raise the voltage and the resistance stays the same, the current will increase. That's why it will burn out sooner.

V = I * R

The equation is a direct variation. If the voltage goes up the current goes up. If the voltage goes down, the current goes down providing that the resistance stays the same in both cases.

The second question is what is resistance? Resistance in Electricity is the ability of an electric current to go in one direction freeing up as many electrons as it can. The MORE free electrons, the lower the resistance. The FEWER free electrons the higher the resistance.

Here' the kicker. Ready? More and Less are probably the two most important words in beginning science.

The <u><em>More</em></u> the resistance, the <em><u>Less</u></em> the current flow. That's a really important consideration in battery drain in a watch (or modern day calculator). The More the Battery Drain, the Less time it will last.

Always be careful when more and Less are around.

Which wave has a longer period and how many times, the wave with a frequency of 7000Hz or the wave with a frequency of 21.000Hz?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

I would say the answer is the wave of 21.000Hz

Explanation:

Because it has more frequency, and as more frequency you add, the time or longer period also increases.

Sound waves, water waves, and light waves are all alike in that they all
Paha777 [63]
Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract


Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator
