Answer:

(c) The current in each resistor is the same.

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(c) The current in each resistor is the same. --> TRUE.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.

A cellphone charger has a transformer with 2000 turns in the primary coil which converts 240v a.c to 6v a.c and a rectifier that
inn [45]

Answer:

As we are converting 220V AC into a 5V DC, first we need a step-down transformer to reduce such high voltage. Here we have used 9-0-9 1A step-down transformer, which convert 220V AC to 9V AC. In transformer there are primary and secondary coils which step up or step down the voltage according to the no of turn in the coils.

Selection of proper transformer is very important. Current rating depends upon the Current requirement of Load circuit (circuit which will use the generate DC). The voltage rating should be more than the required voltage. Means if we need 5V DC, transformer should at least have a rating of 7V, because voltage regulator IC 7805 at least need 2V more i.e. 7V to provide a 5V voltage.

Consider a household that uses 14,000 kWh of electricity and 900 gal of fuel oil, per year, during a heating season. The average
MissTica

Answer:

reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

Explanation:

given data

electricity consume = 14000 kWh

fuel consume = 900 gal

CO₂ produced of fuel = 26.4 lbm/gal

CO₂ produced of electricity  = 1.54 lbm/kWh

oil and electricity usage = 21 percent

to find out

the reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions

solution

we calculate the amount of CO₂ produce here that is

amount of CO₂ produce = ( electricity consume×CO₂ produce electricity + fuel consume × CO₂ consume fuel )    ........................1

put here value

amount of CO₂ produce = ( 14000 × 1.54 + 900 × 26.4 )  

amount of CO₂ produce = 45320 lbm/yr

we know reduction is 21%

so

reduction in amount of CO₂ produced is

reduction in CO₂ produced = 45320 × 21%

reduction in CO₂ produced = 9517.2 lbm per year

so reduction in the amount of CO₂ emissions by that household per year is 9517.2 lbm per year

Hola tengo un taller de física y nose como resolver este pregunta
Blizzard [7]

a) 0.26 h

b) 71.4 km

Explanation:

a)

In order to solve the problem, we have to know what is the final velocity of the car.

Here, we assume that the final velocity reached by the car is

v=300 km/h

Therefore, we can find the time taken by the car to reach this velocity by using the suvat equation:

v=u+at

where:

u = 250 km/h is the initial velocity

a=190 km/h^2 is the acceleration of the car

v = 300 km/h is the final velocity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find:

t=\frac{v-u}{a}=\frac{300-250}{190}=0.26 h

b)

In order to find the distance covered by the car, we can use the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where:

s is the distance covered

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the car in this problem, we have:

u = 250 km/h

t = 0.26 h (calculated in part a)

a=190 km/h^2

Therefore, the distance covered is

s=(250)(0.26)+\frac{1}{2}(190)(0.26)^2=71.4 km
