The circuit below contains an ideal battery, four identical light bulbs, and a switch. The switch is initially open.
1 answer:
The question is incomplete! circuit figure is attached below and answer and explanation is provided below.
Answer:
Bulb_A = Bulb_B = Bulb_D and Bulb_C = 0.
Explanation:
What happens when switch is open?
When the switch is open Bulb_C is open circuited meaning that there is no way for the current to flow through it. This path offers infinite resistance to the current therefore, current will try to take a least resistance path that is through Bulb_B.
So eventually, when the switch is open the circuit becomes a simple series circuit with path From battery to Bulb_A to Bulb_B to Bulb_D to battery with Bulb_C = 0.
What happens in a series circuit?
We know that in a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow therefore, same current will flow through all the series Bulbs and their brightness will be same. Bulb_A = Bulb_B = Bulb_D
Brightness in a series circuit:
We also know know that in a series circuit, resistance gets summed up and voltage across each Bulb gets shared which results in less power dissipation that's why Bulbs connected in series appear dimmer as compared to when they are connected in parallel.

The electron is accelerated through a potential difference of 
, so the kinetic energy gained by the electron is equal to its variation of electrical potential energy:
where
m is the electron mass
v is the final speed of the electron
e is the electron charge
is the potential difference
Re-arranging this equation, we can find the speed of the electron before entering the magnetic field:
Now the electron enters the magnetic field. The Lorentz force provides the centripetal force that keeps the electron in circular orbit:
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field and r is the orbital radius. Since the radius is r=25 cm=0.25 m, we can re-arrange this equation to find B:
