Answer:

Current, I = 0.029 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of the nightlight plug, P = 3.5 watts

The voltage provided by the house circuit,V = 120 volts

We know that the power of an electrical appliance is given by :

Power = voltage × current

I=\dfrac{P}{V}

I=\dfrac{3.5\ W}{120\ V}

I = 0.029 A

Hence, the current through this bulb is 0.029 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

A horizontal wire is hung from the ceiling of a room by two massless strings. The wire has a length of 0.11 m and a mass of 0.01
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting horizontally will deflect the wire by angle φ from the vertical

Let T be the tension

T cosφ = mg

Tsinφ = Magnetic force

Tsinφ = BiL  , where B is magnetic field , i is current and L is length of wire

Dividing

Tanφ = BiL / mg

= .055 x 29 x .11 / .010 x 9.8

= 1.79

φ = 61° .

Tension T = mg / cosφ

= .01 x 9.8 / cos61

= .2 N .

51. Suppose you measure the terminal voltage of a 3.200-V lithium cell having an internal resistance of 5.00Ω by placing a 1.00-
Tanya [424]

Explanation:

Given that,

Terminal voltage = 3.200 V

Internal resistance r= 5.00\ \Omega

(a). We need to calculate the current

Using rule of loop

E-IR-Ir=0

I=\dfrac{E}{R+r}

Where, E = emf

R = resistance

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

I=\dfrac{3.200}{1.00\times10^{3}+5.00}

I=3.184\times10^{-3}\ A

(b). We need to calculate the terminal voltage

Using formula of terminal voltage

V=E-Ir

Where, V = terminal voltage

I = current

r = internal resistance

Put the value into the formula

V=3.200-3.184\times10^{-3}\times5.00

V=3.18\ V

(c). We need to calculate the ratio of the terminal voltage of voltmeter equal to emf

\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}=\dfrac{3.18}{3.200 }

\dfrac{Terminal\ voltage}{emf}= \dfrac{159}{160}

Hence, This is the required solution.

The box leaves position x=0 with speed v0. The box is slowed by a constant frictional force until it comes to rest at position x
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}

Explanation:

Given that

At X=0 V=Vo

At X=X1  V=0

As we know that friction force is always try to oppose the motion of an object. It means that it provide acceleration in the negative direction.

We know that

V^2=U^2-2aS

0=V_o^2-2a X_1

a=\dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}

So the friction force on the box

Ff= m x a

Ff=m\times \dfrac{V_o^2}{2X_1}

Where m is the mass of the box.
