A lightbulb is connected to a battery by two two copper wires of equal lengths but different thicknesses. A thick wire connects

one side of the lightbulb to the positive terminal of the battery and a thin wire connects the other side of the bulb to the negative terminal.
a. Which wire carries a greater current? Or is the current the same in both? Explain.

b. If the two wires are switched, will the bulb get brighter, dimmer, or stay the same? Explain.

5 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) Current remains the same throughout the whole of a closed circuit if all the resistances are in series. So current will remain the same in both these conductors as they are in series.

b ) If the two wires are switched or exchanged mutually , there will not be any change in the current are they will still remain in series and total resistance remains the same . so current will remain the same . Hence the current through the bulb will remain unchanged . The brightness too will remain the same.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

d. All of the above .

Explanation:

The sensitivity of microphone will be more if even feeble sound can create greater vibration in diaphragm . Naturally it is possible if diaphragm is light and can move easily . The movement it it is controlled by current in the coil which makes it electromagnet . All factors that increase the strength of magnet like increasing the no of turns , or a strong magnet will increase the sensitivity.

A train travels 90 kilometers in 1 hour, and then 82 kilometers in 5 hours. What is it’s average speed?
PIT_PIT [208]
Distance is 90km,time 1 hr
distance 2 is 82km,time 5 hrs
average speed=total distance travelled/total time taken.
90+82=172/5+1=6
average speed=28.7km over hour

A ball is rolled twice across the same level laboratory table and allowed to roll off the table and strike the floor. In each tr
schepotkina [342]
By definition we know that the distance is equal to the speed by time
 d = v * t
 Clearing the time we have
 t = d / v
 for conservation of energy. we have to for every attempt
 mgh = (1/2) mv ^ 2
 Clearing the speed
 v = Root (2gh)
 Then, substituting
 t = d / v
 t = h / (Root (2gh)
 We conclude that the time is the same since it depends on the height of the table to the floor.
