A 24 volt battery is connected to a 3Ω resistor and a 5Ω resistor in series. What is the current in the circuit?

Physics
1 answer:
Vladimir [108]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 3 Amperes

Explanation:

Voltage of battery = 24 volts

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 5Ω

Total resistance = ?

Current, I = ?

Since the resistors are connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

Rtotal = 3Ω + 5Ω = 8Ω

Now recall that voltage = current x resistance

i.e V = I x Rtotal

24volts = I x 8Ω

I = 24 volts / 8Ω

I = 3 amperes

Thus, there is 3 Amperes of current in the circuit

A light beam has speed c in vacuum and speed v in a certain plastic. The index of refraction n of this plastic is
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

n = \frac{c}{v}

Explanation:

Refractive Index: It is a measure to find how fast the light travels through a medium. It is ration of the speed of light in vacuum to speed of light in the medium. Speed of light is not constant and varies depending on the density of the medium.

In vacuum the speed of light is 300000 km/s and is denoted by c. When the light beam enters any medium the speed will decrease. Here it is given that the speed in plastic is v. Thus the refractive index(n) is given as:

n = \frac{c}{v}

It is a dimensionless no.

a 360 mile trip began on a greeway in a car traveling at 62 mph. Once the road became a 2 lane highway, the car slowed to 54 mph
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Time spent on the greenway road  = 4.5 hours

Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours

Explanation:

The distance of the trip  is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.

Let us divide the trip into two

Greenway

speed = distance/time

speed = 62 mph

time = a

distance = speed × time

distance = 62a

2 lane highway

speed = distance/time

speed = 54 mph

time = b

distance = speed × time

distance = 54b

Total distance

62a + 54b = 360......................(i)

Total time

a + b = 6..............................(ii)

a = 6-b

insert a in equation (i)

62(6-b) + 54b = 360

372  - 62b + 54b = 360

-8b = 360-372

-8b = - 12

b = 12/8

b = 1.5

from equation (ii)

a + 1.5 = 6

a = 6 - 1.5

a = 4.5

The long structure of small intestine is accommodated in small space within our body. Comment.
Mekhanik [1.2K]
The long structure of small intestine is accommodated in small space within our body because of extensive coiling. the small intestine is highly coiled structure and thus can easily be fixed in a small space.

Define conductor and insulator, including how the resistance is different in the two, and give at least one example of each.
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Those substances which can conduct electricity are called conductors, while those substances which don't conduct electricity are called insulators.

Resistance is the obstruction provided by the material through which the current passes,so since conductors conduct electricity and insulators don't,so the obstruction i.e resistance provided by the conductor must be less,while insulators being unable to conduct electricity,has very high resistance.

Example of conductor is copper

Example of insulator is plastic

If a car travels down the highway at a constant speed, are the forces acting on the car balanced or unbalanced?
Pachacha [2.7K]
<span> Balanced. If not so, then the car cannot move with uniform speed. The frictional force is balanced by the force exerted by the engine. </span>
