The wording of the choices is really unclear.  With two resistors in parallel,
here's the situation:

-- The voltage across each resistor is the same as the voltage across
the other one.  If the parallel combination is connected to the battery,
then the voltage across each resistor is the full battery voltage.

-- The current through each resistor is (V) / (the resistance of that resistor).
That's the same current as would flow through that resistor if the other one
were not there.

-- As long as the battery or other power supply holds out, neither of these
quantities changes.

Can you match this situation to one of the choices listed ?
It looks to me as if choice 'C' is the one that's most likely
trying to say this.

A glass rod and a steel rod are of equal length at 0C. At 100C they differ in length by
NeX [460]

The given lengths at 0 °C are 2.5 m

Let l₀ be the given lengths of the glass and steel rods at 0 °C. Let l and l' be the lengths of the glass and steel rods at 100 °C respectively.

From our expression for linear expansivity,

l = l₀ + l₀αΔθ where α = linear expansivity of glass = 0.000008/°C and Δθ = temperature change = θ - θ' where θ = 100 °C and θ' = 0 °C. So, Δθ = 100 °C - 0 °C = 100 °C.

Also,

l' = l₀ + l₀α'Δθ where α' = linear expansivity of steel = 0.000012/°C and Δθ = temperature change = θ - θ' where θ = 100 °C and θ' = 0 °C. So, Δθ = 100 °C - 0 °C = 100 °C.

Since the difference in their lengths at 100 °C = 0.001 m, we have that

l - l' = l₀ + l₀αΔθ - (l₀ + l₀α'Δθ)

l - l' = l₀ + l₀αΔθ - l₀ - l₀α'Δθ)

l - l' = l₀αΔθ - l₀α'Δθ

l - l' = l₀(α- α')Δθ

Making l₀ subject of the formula, we have

l₀ = (l - l')/[(α- α')Δθ]

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

l₀ = (l - l')/[(α- α')Δθ]

l₀ = 0.001 m/[(0.000008/°C - 0.000012/°C)100 °C.]

l₀ = 0.001 m/[(-0.000004/°C)100 °C.]

l₀ = 0.001 m/-0.0004

l₀ = -2.5 m

Neglecting the negative sign,

l₀ = 2.5 m

So, the given lengths at 0 °C are 2.5 m

how could you prove to a skeptic that the beats are an interference effect that requires both sound sources? test out your metho
podryga [215]

Beats are interference patterns between two tones of different frequencies. To prove the skeptic first, play the recorded audio as there are no beats in it. Now take two sound sources with different frequencies. When both sources are turned on, we hear notes that rise and fall at equal intervals. That's what's called beats.

A frequency beat occurs when two waves with different frequencies overlap, causing alternating cycles of constructive and destructive interference between the waves.

When we tap the table with our finger, then put our ear to the table, and tap the table surface as far as 30 cm from our ear. Then the sound of beats on the table will sound louder when we put our ears on the table. So, it can be concluded that solid objects can conduct sound better than air. This is because the molecules or particles of solid objects are denser than air.
