How will the current change in a series circuit if more resistors are added to it?

2 answers:

8 0

In a series circuit, the current through each of the components is the same, and the voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltages across each component. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each of the components is the same, and the total current<span> is the sum of the currents through each component.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The current decreases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>From the Ohm's law, current through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference at constant temperature and pressure.</u></em>
Mathematically; I =V/R, where R is the resistance, I is the current and V is the voltage or the potential difference.
<em><u>Current is inversely proportional to the resistance, thus and increase in resistance decreases the amount of current in a circuit and vice versa.</u></em>
<em><u>In a series circuit, as more and more resistors are added, the effective or equivalent resistance of the circuit increases and the total current of the circuit decreases.</u></em>

Answer:

x(t=3s) = 0.07 m to the nearest hundredth

Explanation:

v(t) = t² e⁻³ᵗ

Find displacement after t = 3 s.

Recall, velocity, v = (dx/dt)

v = (dx/dt) = t² e⁻³ᵗ

dx = t² e⁻³ᵗ dt

∫ dx = ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt

This integration will be done using the integration by parts method.

Integration by parts is done this way...

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Comparing ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt to ∫ u dv

u = t²

∫ dv = ∫ e⁻³ᵗ dt

u = t²

(du/dt) = 2t

du = 2t dt

∫ dv = ∫ e⁻³ᵗ dt

v = (-e⁻³ᵗ/3)

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Substituting the variables for u, v, du and dv

∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) 2t dt

= (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

But the integral (∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt) is another integration by parts problem.

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

u = 2t

∫ dv = ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

u = 2t

(du/dt) = 2

du = 2 dt

∫ dv = ∫ (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt

v = (e⁻³ᵗ/9)

∫ u dv = uv - ∫ v du

Substituting the variables for u, v, du and dv

∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt = 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - ∫ 2 (e⁻³ᵗ/9) dt = 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) + (2e⁻³ᵗ/27)

Putting this back into the main integration by parts equation

∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - ∫ 2t (-e⁻³ᵗ/3) dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - [2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) + (2e⁻³ᵗ/27)]

x(t) = ∫ t² e⁻³ᵗ dt = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + k (k = constant of integration)

x(t) = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + k

At t = 0 s, v(0) = 0, hence, x(0) = 0

0 = 0 - 0 - (2/27) + k

k = (2/27)

x(t) = (-t²e⁻³ᵗ/3) - 2t (e⁻³ᵗ/9) - (2e⁻³ᵗ/27) + (2/27)

At t = 3 s

x(3) = (-9e⁻⁹/3) - (6e⁻⁹/9) - (2e⁻⁹/27) + (2/27)

x(3) = -0.0003702294 - 0.0000822732 - 0.0000091415 + 0.0740740741 = 0.07361243 m = 0.07 m to the nearest hundredth.

What is non-point source pollution, and why is this kind of pollution hard to monitor and control?

antoniya [11.8K]

The use of pesticides in farming land is example of non-point source pollution. The area of emitting of pollution is very large. That is why, it is difficult to monitor and control this type of pollution.

Americans get their water for everyday use through aquifer. Aquifers can be conserve by avoiding high amount of chemical uses and reducing household waste. Also the sustainable use of water cause conservation of natural resource.

Aquifer are basically underground water present in ground pores. The structure of aquifer just look like sponge. The water moves through the porous surfaces of the ground.

How to find i1, i2,i3

MrRissso [65]

to find i1, i2, and i3 we need to find the total current.

to find the total current, you need to find the total resistance

you're already given the total voltage, Vs

to find Rtotal, start from the resistors furthest from the voltage source.

R3 and R4 are in series so

Rtotal= R3+R4 = 6+3 = 9 ohms

9 ohms is now in parallel with R2 so,

Rtotal= $(\frac{1}{R3+R4}) ^{-1}\\$ + (\frac{1}{R2}) ^{-1})^-1= (1/18)^-1 +( 1/9)^-1 = 6 ohms

6 ohms is in series with R1 so

Rtotal= 4+6=10 ohms

itotal= (\frac{Vtotal}{Rtotal})

= 120 v/10 ohms = 12 A

i total = i1 because all the current flows through it

i1= 12A

so the current splits into i2 and i3 and the amount of current that flows through a branch depends on the total resistance in each branch.

we already calculated the resistance in the R3+R4 & R2 branch as 6 ohms

since r3 and r4 are in series, the same current will flow through them

r3+r4 = 9 ohms

r2= 18 ohms

so the current in r2 will be half that of R3 & R4 (V=IR)

using the current divider rule

$Ix = Itotal * \frac{Rtotal}{Rx}$

i2= 12A x (6 ohms/18 ohms)= 4 A

i3= 12A x (6 ohms/9 ohms) = 8 ohms

Leto [7]

Answer:

Object A and C (Second choice)

Let's observe one by one

#A..

Kupier belt is a belt associated at Neptune outerside similar to asteroid belt

Hence it's correct

#B.

Has enough gravity to keep other objects far away from its orbit

It's any planet or may be sun /star

Is in orbit around the sun

Sure it's correct

Is almost circular in shape

It's any planet or moons
