Find the equivalent resistance Req between terminals a and b if terminals c and d are open and again if terminals c and d are sh

orted together. (Round the final answers to two decimal places.) With terminals c-d open, Req = Ω. With terminals c-d shorted, Req = Ω.

Answer:

351 ohm

720 ohm

Explanation:

When c and d are open:

Terminals c and d are open.. If you  redraw the circuit as below, you can see that the two resistors in the first  column are in parallel as, they are connected together at both pairs of terminals  (due to the short).

Hence, we have a pair of parallel resistors:

Req1 = (R1*R2)/ (R1 + R2) = 360*540/(360+540) = 216 ohms

Req2 = (R3*R4)/ (R3 + R4) = 180*540/(180+540) = 135 ohms

Now these two sets are  in series with another Hence,

Req = Req1 + Req2 = 216 + 135 = 351 ohms

Answer: 351 ohms

When c and d are shorted:

The current will flow through the least resistant path naturally from resistors R3 and R1 or R4.

Both of these resistor lie in a single path placing the resistors in series to one another, hence

Req = R3 + R1 = 180 + 540 = 720 ohms

Answer:720 ohms

Two people start biking from the same point. One bikes east at 9 mph, the other south at 28 mph. What is the rate at which the d
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

(a) 31.75 mph

(b) 31.77 mph

Explanation:

(a) For t = 10 min = 10 / 60 = 1 / 6 hour

According to the question,

dx /dt = 15 mph

dy / dt = 28 mph

After 10 minutes

x = 1/6 x 15 = 2.5 miles

y = 1/6 x 28 = 4.67 miles

d = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\sqrt{2.5^{2}+4.67^{2}} = 5.3 miles

According to diagram

D^{2} = {x^{2}+y^{2}}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

2D dD/dt = 2 x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt

D dD/dt = x dx/dt + y dy/dt

5.3 dD/dt = 2.5 (15) + 4.67 (28)

dD/dt = 31.75 miles/hour

(b) For t = 55 minutes = 55 / 60 hours

After 55 / 60 hours

x = 55 / 60 (15) = 13.75 miles

y = 55 / 60 (28) = 25.67 miles

d = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}=\sqrt{13.75^{2}+25.67^{2}} = 29.12 miles

According to diagram

D^{2} = {x^{2}+y^{2}}

Differentiate both sides with respect to t.

2D dD/dt = 2 x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt

D dD/dt = x dx/dt + y dy/dt

29.12 dD/dt = 13.75 (15) + 25.67 (28)

dD/dt = 31.77 miles/hour

A cylindrical insulated wire of diameter 5.0 mm is tightly wound 200 times around a cylindrical core to form a solenoid with adj
laiz [17]

Answer:

0.0016 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Diameter of wire = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Radius of wire, R = 0.0025 m

Number of turns, N = 200

Current through the wire, I = 0.10A

The magnitude of the magnetic field is given as:

B = (u₀NI) / (2πR)

Where u = magnetic permeability of free space.

B = (1.257 * 10⁻⁶ * 200 * 0.1) / (2 * π * 0.0025)

B = 0.0016 T

The magnitude of the Magnetic field is 0.0016 T.

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the current is at a value that is_________.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive

Explanation:

We know that the relation between the Voltage and the current is given using the Ohm's law, which states that the voltage (V) is directly proportional to the current (I)

Mathematically,

V ∝ I

Hence,

When the voltage is at a maximum positive value, the the current is at a value that is maximum and positive
