Explanation:

(a) A circuit has 50 Ω, a 100Ω and a 150 Ω resistor are connected in series. We know that in series combination, current through each resistor is same. So, current through a 50 Ω, a 100Ω and a 150 Ω resistor is same.

(b) Ohm's law of given by :

V = I R

V is potential difference. As I is same, so, the resistor having highest resistance will have highest potential difference. So,

V_3>V_2>V_1.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A light bulb radiates 110 nW of single-frequency sinusoidal electromagnetic waves uniformly in all directions. Calculate the ave
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

The intensity of the light from the bulb would be

3.501 x 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

Explanation:

Given

The Power = 110 n W = 110 x 10^{-9} W

the distance r = 50 mm = 50 /1000 = 0.05 m

The intensity can be obtained with the relationship below;

I = Power/area ......1

The area of the sphere would be used in this case since the bulb is spherical;    A=4πr^{2}

Putting it into equation 1, we have;

I = P/ 4πr^{2}

I =  110 x 10^{-9} / 4 x π x 0.05^{2}

I = 3.501 x 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

Therefore the intensity of the light from the bulb would be

3.501 x 10^{-6} W/m^{2}

•<br> What happens to similar charged<br> particles and differently charged<br> particles
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Like charges repel

Different charges attract

Explanation:

When particles of similar charges are brought together, they repel each other and increase the distance of separation. Repulsion occurs because both two electrons have negative electrical charge forcing their lines of force to repel. However, when particles of opposite charges are brought nearer to each other, they attract each other and reduce the distance of separation.

Explain the molecular concept of thermal energy.
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The temperature of an object increases when the molecules that make up that object move faster. Thermal energy is energy possessed by an object or system due to the movement of particles within the object or the system.

An electron is moving east in a uniform electric field of 1.55 N/C directed to the west. At point A, the velocity of the electro
valkas [14]

Answer:

Final velocity of electron, v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s    

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E = 1.55 N/C

Initial velocity at point A, u=4.52\times 10^5\ m/s

We need to find the speed of the electron when it reaches point B which is a distance of 0.395 m east of point A. It can be calculated using third equation of motion as :

v^2=u^2+2as........(1)

a is the acceleration, a=\dfrac{F}{m}

We know that electric force, F = qE

a=\dfrac{qE}{m}

Use above equation in equation (1) as:

v^2=u^2+\dfrac{2qEs}{m}

v^2=(4.52\times 10^5\ m/s)^2+2\times \dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C\times 1.55\ N/C}{9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg}\times 0.395\ m

v = 647302.09 m/s

or

v=6.45\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the electron when it reaches point B is 6.45\times 10^5\ m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
