A 16.0 Ω, 13.0 Ω, and 7.00 Ω resistor are connected in parallel to an emf source. A current of 6.00 A is in the 13.0 Ω resistor.

Calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit. Answer in units of Ω.

The current in one parallel resistor doesn't tell us the equivalent resistance of the circuit. And the equivalent resistance of the circuit doesn't depend on the current through any of the resistors, or the voltage applied to them, or even whether there IS any current through any of them.  

Resistors in parallel have the same equivalent resistance even if they're wrapped in tissue, placed in a matchbox, and stored in the back of a drawer in a desk and locked in a dusty warehouse.

The equivalent resistance of 16Ω, 13Ω, and 7Ω all in parallel is the reciprocal of

(1/16) + (1/13) + (1/7) .

That's  1 / (0.0625 + 0.0769 + 0.1429)

That's  1 / (0.2823)

That's   <em>3.543 Ω</em> .

Answer:3.54ohms

Explanation: connection in parallel

1/Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3

1/Rt= 1/16+1/13+1/7

1/Rt= 91+112+208/1456

1/Rt= 411/1456

411Rt= 1456

Rt= 1456/411

Rt= 3.54ohms

When asked how to create an electromagnet, the best answer would be:
fredd [130]

Answer:

You can create an electromagnet by wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties and applying an electric current."

Explanation:

Electromagnets are made by wrapping an insulated wire around a metal with ferromagnetic properties (example is iron), to form a loop, and then applying a current through the wire. Electromagnets can generate magnetism with a strong force field, and unlike normal magnets, their strength can be varied by varying the amount of current flowing through the coil. Their main disadvantage, which is also their most utilized property is that their magnetism is lost once the current flowing through the wire is cut-off.

In this experiment we will observe the magnetic fields produced by a current carrying wire. A long wire is suspended vertically,
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Solution:-

Electric current produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field can be visualized as a pattern of circular field lines surrounding a wire. One way to explore the direction of a magnetic field is with a compass, as shown by a long straight current-carrying wire in. Hall probes can determine the magnitude of the field. Another version of the right hand rule emerges from this exploration and is valid for any current segment—point the thumb in the direction of the current, and the fingers curl in the direction of the magnetic field loops created by it.

Compasses placed near a long straight current-carrying wire indicate that field lines form circular loops centered on the wire. Right hand rule 2 states that, if the right hand thumb points in the direction of the current, the fingers curl in the direction of the field. This rule is consistent with the field mapped for the long straight wire and is valid for any current segment.

( See attachments )

- The equation for the magnetic field strength - B - (magnitude) produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is given by the Biot Savart Law:

                                  B = \frac{uo*I}{2\pi *r}

Where,

I : The current,

r : The shortest distance to the wire,

uo : The permeability of free space. = 4π * 10^-7  T. m/A

-  Since the wire is very long, the magnitude of the field depends only on distance from the wire r, not on position along the wire. This is one of the simplest cases to calculate the magnetic field strength - B - from a current.

- The magnetic field of a long straight wire has more implications than one might first suspect. Each segment of current produces a magnetic field like that of a long straight wire, and the total field of any shape current is the vector sum of the fields due to each segment. The formal statement of the direction and magnitude of the field due to each segment is called the Biot-Savart law. Integral calculus is needed to sum the field for an arbitrary shape current. The Biot-Savart law is written in its complete form as:

                             B = \frac{uo*I}{4\pi }*\int\frac{dl xr}{r^2}      

Where the integral sums over,

 1) The wire length where vector dl = direction of current (in or out of plane)

 2) r is the distance between the location of dl and the location at which the magnetic field is being calculated

 3)  r^ is a unit vector in the direction of r.

An 80-kg astronaut becomes separated from his spaceship. He is 15.0 m away from it and at rest relative to it. In an effort to g
9966 [12]

The astronaut will take 300 seconds

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum of the astronaut+object system must be conserved.

Initially, they are both at rest, so their total momentum is zero:

p=0

After the astronaut throws the object, their total momentum is:

p=MV+mv

where:

M = 80 kg is the mass of the astronaut

V is the final velocity of the astronaut

m = 500 g = 0.5 kg is the mass of the object

v = 8.0 m/s is the velocity of the object

Since momentum is conserved, we can write

0=MV+mv

And solving for V,

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.5)(8.0)}{80}=-0.05 m/s

Which means that he starts moving at 0.05 m/s in the direction opposite to the object.

Now the astronaut needs to cover a distance of

d = 15.0 m

And his speed is

v = 0.05 m/s

Therefore, the time taken is

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{15.0}{0.05}=300 s
