The work done in moving an electron through the 3 ohm resistor is

Physics

Orlov [11]3 years ago

If the 3 ohm resistor is in parallel to the 12 ohm (I can't see it in the image) then the current through it is 12V/3ohm = 4A  Amps are Coulombs/s  The charge on the electron is 1.6e-19C   So 4 amps means 4/1.6e-19 = 2.5e19 electrons/s.
The reciprocal of this gives the number of electrons per second:
1/2.5e19 = 4e-20 s/(elect. charge)
The power in the 3 ohm resistor is 12*4=48W.  This is Joules/sec.  We know it takes on average 4e-20 s to get one electron charge through the resistor so we multiply:  48W * 4e-20s = 1.9e-18J
Note: In reality there are many electrons moving through the resistor together, and a single electron does not move this fast, but the total energy to do it would be equivalent to this.

Why car speed is not considered as car velocity?​
grigory [225]

Answer:

Cause its scalar quantity

Explanation:

since speed does not take directions into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. On the other hand, the velocity of an object does not take into account direction, thus making it a vector quantity.

A conductor of radius r, length and resistivity ρ has resistance r. what is the new resistance if it is stretched to 4 times its
max2010maxim [7]
The resistance of a conductor is given by
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
where L is the length of the wire, \rho the resistivity of the material and A the cross-sectional area.

We can see that if all the other quantities do not change, if the new length of the conductor is 4 times the original length: L'=4 L, then the new resistance is also 4 times the original value:
R'= \frac{\rho L'}{A}= \frac{\rho 4 L}{A}=4  \frac{\rho L}{A}=4 R

Pumping of groundwater in California most effectively: Select one:
maria [59]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Ans- A, causes sediments in aquifers that are emptied to compact and the ground above it to sink.

This is one of the major problems for California nowadays. Due to excessive groundwater pumping to satisfy the demand of huge population the aquifers are drying, hence compacting and for that the land above sinks.

mario62 [17]

The answer is:

d) the sound originates from a vibration.

The explanation:

The sound waves are generated by a sound source, such as the vibrating diaphragm of a stereo speaker. The sound source creates vibrations in the surrounding medium. As the source continues to vibrate the medium, the vibrations propagate away from the source at the speed of sound, thus forming the sound wave.
