Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

Two light bulbs have resistances of 400 Ω and 800 ΩThe two light bulbs are connected in series across a 120- V line. Find the cu

Natasha2012 [34]

1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A

The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:

$R_{eq}=R_1 + R_2 = 400 \Omega + 800 \Omega=1200 \Omega$

And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):

$I=\frac{V}{R_{eq}}=\frac{120 V}{1200 \Omega}=0.1 A$

And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.

2) 4 W and 8 W

The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:

$P=I^2 R$

where I is the current and R is the resistance.

For the first bulb:

$P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (400 \Omega)=4 W$

For the second bulb:

$P_1 = (0.1 A)^2 (800 \Omega)=8 W$

3) 12 W

The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:

$P_{tot} = P_1 + P_2 = 4 W + 8 W=12 W$

Relative motion can best be defined as

geniusboy [140]

Relative motion can best be defined as B the motion of one object as it appears to another object.
An example is when you are in a car the car has the actual motion because it is the one moving but you are also moving because of relative motion.

Which device uses a rotating magnetic field to produce an electric current?

Kay [80]

The correct answer is C) a motor.
In particular, we are talking about an AC motor, which produces an alternating current. In an AC motor, a coil is immersed in a rotating magnetic field. Due to the motion of the magnetic field,the angle between the direction of the field and the surface enclosed by the coil changes. As a result, the magnetic flux through the coil changes over time (the magnetic flux is given by:
 $\phi=BAcos\theta$ 
where B is the intensity of the magnetic field, A is the area enclosed by the coil and $\theta$ is the angle between the direction of B and the perpendicular to the plane of the coil). For Faraday-Newmann-Lenz law, this change in flux induces an electromotive force (emf) into the coil, according to:
 $emf=- \frac{d \Phi}{dt}$ 
where the numerator is the variation of magnetic flux and dt is the time interval. This emf in the coil produced an electrical current in the circuit.
