1) The equivalent resistance is 2.73\Omega

2) The voltage in the circuit is 120 V

3) The total current in the circuit is 44.0 A

Explanation:

1)

Resistors are said to be in parallel when they have the same potential difference at their terminals.

The formula to calculate the equivalent resistance for three resistors in parallel is:

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}

where R_1, R_2, R_3 are the resistances of the three resistors.

In this problem, the resistance of each resistor is:

R_1 = 5.0 \Omega

R_2 = 10.0 \Omega

R_3 = 15.0 \Omega

Substituting,

\frac{1}{R_T}=\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{15}=\frac{11}{30}

So the equivalent resistance is

R_T = \frac{30}{11}=2.73 \Omega

2)

In this problem we are told that the three resistors are connected in parallel. This means that their terminals are connected to the same point of the circuit: therefore, this means that they also have the same potential difference across them.

Therefore, the voltage in each branch containing each resistor is the same, and it is equal to the voltage of the battery, which is

V=120 V

So, the voltage in the circuit is 120 V.

3)

The total current in the circuit can be found by using Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the equivalent resistance of the circuit

I is the current

In this circuit, we have:

V = 120 V

R=2.73\Omega

Re-arranging the equation for I, we find the current:

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{120}{2.73}=44.0 A

A circular parallel plate capacitor is constructed with a radius of 0.52 mm, a plate separation of 0.013 mm, and filled with an
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

289282

Explanation:

r = Radius of plate = 0.52 mm

d = Plate separation = 0.013 mm

A = Area = \pi r^2

V = Potential applied = 2 mV

k = Dielectric constant = 40

\epsilon_0 = Electric constant = 8.854\times 10^{-12}\ \text{F/m}

Capacitance is given by

C=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0A}{d}

Charge is given by

Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{k\epsilon_0AV}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=\dfrac{40\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}\times\pi \times (0.52\times 10^{-3})^2\times 2\times 10^{-3}}{0.013\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.6285\times 10^{-14}\ \text{C}

Number of electron is given by

n=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{4.6285\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n=289281.25\ \text{electrons}

The number of charge carriers that will accumulate on this capacitor is approximately 289282.

Elan Coil [88]

The components of the net force on the cart is determined as 67.66 N.

<h3>Component of net force on the cart</h3>

The component of net force on the cart is determined by resolving the forces into x and y -components.

T1 = 30 N

T2 = 40 N

T1x = -30cos(0) = 30 N

T1y = 30sin(0) = 0

T2x = 40 x cos(30) = 34.64 N

T2y = 40 x sin(3) = 20 N

∑X = 30 N + 34.64 N = 64.64 N

∑Y = 0 + 20 N = 20 N

<h3>Resultant force</h3>

R = √(64.64² + 20²)

R = 67.66 N

Much of the energy of falling water in a waterfall is converted into heat. If all the mechanical energy is converted into heat t
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

potential energy of water is converted into heat energy

P E = mgh = m x 9.8 x 111

= 1087.8 m .

Let rise in temperature θ

m x s x θ = heat absorbed

m x s x θ =  1087.8 m

m x 4182 x θ =  1087.8 m

θ = 0.26 degree celsius .
