Answer:

The resistance must be 6.67\Omega

Solution:

Resistance, R_{1} = 20\Omega

Resistance, R_{2} = 10\Omega

For the current to be the same when the switch is open or closed, the resistances must be connected in parallel as current is distributed in parallel with the same voltage across the circuit:

Thus in parallel:

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{R_{1}} + \frac{1}{R_{2}}

\frac{1}{R_{eq}} = \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{10}

R_{eq} = 6.67\ \Omega

A straight wire segment 5 m long makes an angle of 30° with a uniform magnetic field of 0.37 T. Find the magnitude of the force
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 5 m

Magnetic field, B = 0.37 T

Angle between wire and the magnetic field, \theta=30^{\circ}

Current in the wire, I = 2.9 A

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the wire. The magnetic force in the wire is given by :

F=BIL\ \sin\theta\\\\F=0.37\ T\times 2.9\ A\times 5\ m\times \ \sin(30)\\\\F=2.68\ N

So, the magnitude of the force on the wire is 2.68 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is a characteristic that makes electromagnetic waves and water waves different
Paraphin [41]
We know that a wave is a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space There are two main types of waves: Mechanical and Electromagnetic. Water waves are mechanical. A mechanical wave is an oscillation of matter to transfers energy, but you always need a medium (substance such as: solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to transport it. The medium for water waves is, in fact, the water. For example, ripple in water is a surface wave. On the other hand, electromagnetic waves don't need a medium to transport, they can do it through the empty space. Then, this is the major characteristic that makes these two types of waves different.
