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

How do you know the earth is rotating on its axis
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Read below!

Explanation:

You can watch the sun wheel across the sky during the day, and the stars at night. Focus a telescope on any star besides the north star--especially southern stars--and you can watch them drift across your field of view.  

An alternative explanation is that all the stars are painted on (or holes in) some canopy that rotates around the earth. This explanation does not account for the motion of the "wanderers," or planets, as the Greeks called them, or for the path of the moon among the stars.  

As we know the stars are massive bodies of significant and varying distance to the earth, the notion they all swing around us in unison seems highly implausible

An electron is accelrated by a unifor electric field (1000v/m) pointing vertically upward. Use energy methods to get the magnitu
ExtremeBDS [4]

Explanation:

In the given situation two forces are working. These are:

1) Electric force (acting in the downward direction) = qE

2) weight (acting in the downward direction) = mg

Therefore, work done by all the forces = change in kinetic energy

Hence, qE \times S + mg \times S = 0.5 \times mv^{2}

     1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000 + 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times 9.8 \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2}

It is known that the weight of electron is far less compared to electric force. Therefore, we can neglect the weight  and the above equation will be as follows.

   (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 1000) \times (\frac{0.10}{100}) = 0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v^{2
}

         v = sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{(0.5 \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31})}

           = 592999 m/s

Since, the electron is travelling downwards it means that it looses the potential energy.
