A cell supplies current of 0.6A and 0.2A through 1ohms and 4.0ohms resistor respectively. Calculate the internal resistance of t
Vlad [161]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.5Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Since different currents are passing through the resistors, then the resistors are most probably connected in parallel. This also means that the same voltage will pass across them.

Using Ohm's law, the voltage across a resistor in a circuit is given by;

V = I(R + r)            -----------(i)

<em>For the 1ohm resistor, the voltage across it is given by;</em>

<em>Where;</em>

I = current passing through the 1 ohm resistor = 0.6A

R = resistance of the 1 ohm resistor = 1Ω

r = internal resistance of the cell = r

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

V = 0.6(1 + r)                 -------------------(ii)

<em>For the 4.0ohm resistor, the voltage across it is given by;</em>

<em>Where;</em>

I = current passing through the 4.0 ohms resistor = 0.2A

R = resistance of the 4.0 ohms resistor = 4.0Ω

r = internal resistance of the cell = r

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

V = 0.2(4.0 + r)                 -------------------(iii)

<em>Now solve equations (ii) and (iii) simultaneously;</em>

V = 0.6(1 + r)

V = 0.2(4.0 + r)

Substitute the value of V in equation (ii) into equation (iii). Therefore, we have;

0.6(1 + r) = 0.2(4.0 + r)

<em>Solve for r</em>

0.6 + 0.6r = 0.8 + 0.2r

0.6r - 0.2r = 0.8 - 0.6

0.4r = 0.2

r = \frac{0.2}{0.4}

r = 0.5

Therefore, the internal resistance of the cell is 0.5Ω

<h2>Answers:</h2>

<h2>1. event horizon </h2>

The event horizon is the surface of a black hole, it is the border of space-time in which the events on one side of it can not affect an observer on the other side.

That is, at this border also called <em>"point of no return"</em>, nothing can escape (not even light) and no event that occurs within it can be seen from outside.  

<h2>2. gravitational lensing  </h2>

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, mass causes the curvature of spacetime and this curvature is what we call <u>gravity</u>.

Then, the light always move following the curvature that gravity causes in spacetime, and in this way the rays of light are deflected if there is a mass accumulation nearby. Being this is the principle of the gravitational lensing.

<h2>3. black hole </h2>

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, inside a black hole there is a <em>"singularity"</em> that consists of a region of the space in which <u>the density of matter tends to infinity. </u>

How is it possible?

Following what relativity establishes, bodies within a gravitational field follow a curved space path. Then the more a body enters the black hole, the more curved the space will become, until, in the center, it will become infinitely curved.

<h2>4. gravitational waves </h2>

Gravitational waves were discovered (theoretically) by Albert Einstein in 1916 and "observed" for the first time in direct form in 2015.

These gravitational waves  are fluctuations or disturbances of space-time produced by a massive accelerated body, modifying the distances and the dimensions of objects in an imperceptible way.

In this context, an excellent example is the system of two neutron stars that orbit high speeds, producing a deformation that propagates like a wave, <u>in the same way as when a stone is thrown into the water. </u>

<h2>5. wormhole</h2>

A wormhole is <u>a hypothetical feature of a space-time</u> described in the equations of general relativity, which essentially consists of a shortcut through space and time.  It is not proven that they exist, although <u>mathematically they are possible</u> .

In other words:

A wormhole is a tunnel that joins two black holes in different places (two points of spacetime).

<h2>6. time dilation (gravitational) </h2>

The dilation of time is a phenomenon that results from the theory of relativity, which states that time passes at different rates in regions of different gravitational potential.

That is, the greater the local distortion of spacetime due to gravity, the slower the time passes.

<h2>7.  gravitational redshift</h2><h2 />

When we talk about the <u>visible electromagnetic spectrum</u>, we know it starts in violet-blue and ends in red.  

Now, in this context the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble observed several celestial bodies, and when obtaining the spectra of distant galaxies he observed that the spectral lines were displaced towards the red one (red shift), whereas the nearby stars showed a spectrum displaced to the blue one.  

From there, it was deduced that the farther an body in the universe is, the more redshifted it is in its spectrum.  This effect is due to the dilation and contraction of time by speed.

deff fn [24]
0.49 N
On a spring scale that measures force, a reading shows the force of an object to be about half way between 0 N and 1 N. 0. 49 Newton is the most accurate measurement for the force. If we cluster the number values of 0 N to 1 N It would be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 N. These numbers indicate the micro intervals of 0-1. It cannot be the other given because the other values are either higher or lower which exceeds the 0-1 scale. Observe.
