A series-parallel circuit consists of two parallel circuits connected in series across a 45-V source. One parallel branch consis

musickatia [10]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The current through R4 = 0.5865 mA

Explanation:

To solve this we list out the known thus

Voltage source = 45-V

Firsrt parallel circiuit has resistances of R1 = 17 kΩ and R2 = 23 kΩ

Second parallel circiuit has resistances of R3 = 45 kΩ and R4 = 55 kΩ

we first find the current flowing in the circuit by finding thr sum of the total resistance in eah parallel circuit

Firsrt parallel circiuit, for circuit in parallel, sum of resistance 1/RT1 = 1/ R1 + 1/R2 = 1/17+1/23 = 0.1023017 therefore RT1 = 1/0.1023017 = 9.775 kΩ

Similarly we have for the second parallel circuit 1/RT2 = 1/R3 + 1/R4

= 1/45 + 1/55 = 0.0404 Hence RT2 = 1/0.0404 = 24.75 kΩ

This means that the 9.775 kΩ and the 24.75 kΩ are in series hence total resistance of the circuit = sum of all resistances in series

= 9.775 kΩ + 24.75 kΩ = 34.525 kΩ

However current, I is given by V/R = 45-V/34.525 kΩ = 1.303 × 10⁻³ A or 1.303 mA

From the current divider rule, I4 = I × (R4/(R3+R4)

That is the currrent flowing throuhgh R4 = 1.303 × (45/(45+55)) = 0.5865 mA

The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to

Mashutka [201]

The primary reason a light bulb emits light is due to the heating of the resistance in the filament of the light bulb. In fact, the power dissipated in a resistor is given by
 $P=I^2 R$
where I is the current and R the resistance. The larger the resistance or the current in the resistor, the larger the power dissipated. Due to this dissipation of power, the temperature of the filament becomes very high, and the resistance becomes incandescent, emitting light.

At a fixed depth within a fluid at rest, the pressure pushing upward is

earnstyle [38]

Answer: E) A) salt water.

Explanation:

E) In equilibrium, pressure exerts equally in all directions, so for a given depth, the pressure is the same for all points located at the same depth, and it can be written as follows:

p = p₀ + ρ.g.h, where p₀ = atmospheric pressure, ρ=fluid density, h=depth from the surface.

A) The buoyant force, as discovered by Archimedes, is an upward force, that opposes to the weight of an object (as it is always downward), and is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid that the object removes, which means that is proportional to the density of the liquid.

As salt water is denser than fresh water, the buoyant force exerted by the salt water is always greater than the one produced by the fresh water, so objects will float more easily in salt water than in fresh water.

In the limit, it is possible that one object float in salt water and sink in fresh water.

A child, who is 45 m from the bank of a river, is being carried helplessly downstream by the river's swift current of 1.0 m/s. A

Degger [83]

Answer:

The lifeguard takes 25.9 seconds to reach the child, at 25.9 meters from the start point downstream.

Explanation:

As the image shows, the child trajectory, the lifeguard trajectory and the distance from the bank form a triangle. This triangle is formed by the distances, an we already know the distance from the bank and the speed of child, and the speed of the lifeguard. So we have unknom time in common. Lets see the equations:

Using phitagoras theorem

$45^{2}+(1*t_{1} )^{2} =(2*t_{2} )^{2}\\\\but\\t_{1} =t_{2} , then\\\\45^{2} =3t^{2} \\\\t=\sqrt{\frac{45^{2}}{3} } = 25.9seconds\\and replacing in X1= 25.9 meters$
