If two lightbulbs are parallel to each other, they have the same brightness. If the same two lightbulbs are put in series with e

ach other, they also have the same brightness but are dimmer than when they are in parallel. Explain why.

Answer:

Explanation:

The bulbs becomes dimmer because effective resistance of the circuit increases since the resistance of the circuit in series connection involves adding the individual resistance compared to in parallel connection where the effective resistance = 1 / R1 + 1/R2 = R1 R2 / ( R2 + R1). The brightness remains the same because the lightbulbs must be of the same resistance. Also using ohm's law

V = IR

I = V / R

I is inversely proportional to the current in the circuit so as R, effective resistance of the circuit increases, I, current decreases  and vice versa

What is/are the difference between wavelength and spectral lines?
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<u><em>Definition of spectral line: </em></u><em>one of a series of linear images formed by a spectrograph or similar instrument and corresponding to a narrow portion of the spectrum of the radiation emitted or absorbed by a particular source.</em>

<em />

<u><em>Definition of Wavelength:</em></u><em> can be defined as the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave. It is measured in the direction of the wave. ... Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency. This means the longer the wavelength, lower the frequency.</em>

<em />

<em>So, the spectrum is the range of wavelength in visible light. While, wavelength is the length of a wave.</em>

<em></em>

Hansel pushes a 2 lb. box 5 feet in 20 seconds. How much work has he done?
Licemer1 [7]
Work = force x distance

You can see time doesn’t matter (if we were talking about power, which is the RATE at which work is performed, that would be a different story).

W = 2 x 5 = 10 foot-pounds of work

Foot-pounds are gross units. Better to work in SI units when you can!
