A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 1.8 A. The current is reduced to 1.6 A when an additional 3.8 Ω resistor

is added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? Assume the internal resistance of the source of emf is zero. Answer in units of Ω.

Answer:

Value of R_1=30.4ohm

Explanation:

We have given

In first case resistance is R_1 and current is 1.8 A

Let the potential difference is v

So 1.8=\frac{v}{R_1}----eqn 1

In second case resistance is R_1+3.8 and current is 1.6 A and potential difference will be as it is a series connection

So 1.6=\frac{v}{R+3.8}----eqn 2

From eqn 1 and eqn 2

1.8R_1=1.6R_1+6.08

R_1=30.4ohm

Answer:

30.4 ohm

Explanation:

Let V be the potential difference.

When R1 is in the circuit.

V = 1.8 x R1 ... (1)

Now new resistance is R = R1 + 3.8

V = 1.6 x (R1 + 3.8) .... (2)

By comparing (1) and (2), we get

1.8 R1 = 1.6 (R1 + 3.8)

1.8 R1 - 1.6 R1 = 6.08

R1 = 30.4 ohm

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference in time will be due to travel through atmosphere where speed of light slows down. If t be the thickness of atmosphere and c be the speed of light in space and μ be the refractive index of atmosphere difference in travel time will be as follows .

difference = \frac{2t\mu }{c}-\frac{2t }{c}

=\frac{2t}{c }\left ( 1-\mu  \right )

Now t = 40 x 10³m ,μ = 1.000293 , c = 3 x 10⁸.

difference =\frac{2t\mu }{c}-\frac{2t }{c}

=\frac{2t}{c }\left ( \mu -1  \right )\\

=\frac{ 2\times 40\times 10^3}{3\times10^3 }\left ( 1.000293-1 \right )\\

=7.81\times 10^{-3} s

A box with the mass of 20 kg at 5 m is lifted to 20 m. How much work was 7 points<br> done?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

2,900\: \mathrm{J}

Explanation:

Work is given by the equation W=F\Delta x where F is force and \Delta x is displacement.

Displacement is defined as change in position. In this case, the box moves from 5m to 20m. Its displacement is 20-5=15\:\mathrm{m}.

The force acting on the box is the force of gravity, given as F_g=mg.

Therefore, the total work done is:

W=F\Delta x=mg\Delta x = 20\cdot 9.81\cdot 15=2,943=\fbox{$2,900\:\mathrm{J}$}(two significant figures).
