Answer:

B. The other bulb stays lit.

Explanation:

You did not provide the picture of the circuit but here are some suggestions.

Based on the choices given:

A)The other bulb goes out.

B)The other bulb stays lit.

C)Current stops flowing in the circuit.

D)The current path in the circuit is broken.

Choices A, C, and D all happen when a light bulb is unscrewed in a series circuit. A series circuit is a circuit where all the resistors are lined up in a single path. In order for current to flow, the resistors need to be all functional. When you take one out, the flow of current stops because the one path it flows through is broken. As a result, other resistors in the circuit will no longer work.

As for choice B, this occurs in a parallel circuit. In a parallel circuit the resistors are arranged in parallel paths. The paths branch off and thus so does the flow of current. If you take out one of the light bulbs in a parallel circuit, the other light bulbss would remain lit because the flow of current has an alternative path to move through.

Attached is a diagram of a series and a parallel circuit.

A coil has an inductance of 6.00 mH, and the current in it changes from 0.200 A to 1.50 A in a time interval of 0.300 s. Find th
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

0.026 V

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductance of the coil, L = 6 mH

The current changes from 0.2 A to 1.5 A in a time interval of 0.3 s

We need to find the magnitude of the average induced emf in the coil during this time interval. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=L\dfrac{dI}{dt}\\\\=6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0.2}{0.3}\\\\=0.026\ V

So, the magnitude of induced emf is 0.026 volts.

How do you find the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:  <em>In order to calculate the mechanical advantage of a wheel and axel, you can divide the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. If a wheel's radius is 60cm and its axle is 30cm, what is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle? The output force of the wheel and axle is 2 times greater than the input force.</em>

explain how the composition of a star that will form a billon years in the future will differ the composition of our sun.
Grace [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Basically the star slowly burns its hydrogen into Helium. Depending on the mass, the star will have a turbulent core where the Helium will be fully mixed or a radiative core where the helium will settle at the centre (remember it's heavier than Hydrogen). The second case is what happens in the Sun.

How is high temperature achieved by concave mirror?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

A concave mirror is used in the design of solar furnaces because they converge the parallel sunrays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace.
