Answer:
1) R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) 0.5 A
3) 3.6 V
Explanation:
1) We can see that resistors R2 and R3 are in parallel.
Formula for sum of parallel resistors; 1/Rt = 1/R2 + 1/R3
Making Rt the subject gives;
Rt = (R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3)
Now, Resistor R1 is in series with this sum of R2 and R3. Thus;
Total resistance of circuit = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
2) R_total = R1 + ((R2 × R3)/(R2 + R3))
We are given;
R1 = 7.2 Ω
R2 = 8 Ω
R3 = 12 Ω
R_total = 7.2 + ((8 × 12)/(8 + 12))
R_total = 7.2 + 4.8
R_total = 12 Ω
Formula for current is;
I = V/R
I = 6/12
I = 0.5 A
3) since current through the circuit is 0.5 and R1 is 7.2 Ω.
Thus, potential difference through R1 is;
V = IR = 0.5 × 7.2 = 3.6 V
Answer:
12.17 m/s²
Explanation:
The formula of period of a simple pendulum is given as,
T = 2π√(L/g)........................ Equation 1
Where T = period of the simple pendulum, L = length of the simple pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the planet. π = pie
making g the subject of the equation,
g = 4π²L/T²................... Equation 2
Given: T = 1.8 s, l = 1.00 m
Constant: π = 3.14
Substitute into equation 2
g = (4×3.14²×1)/1.8²
g = 12.17 m/s²
Hence the acceleration due to gravity of the planet = 12.17 m/s²
Power used by the clock=1.03 W
Explanation:
resistance= 14000 ohm
voltage=120 V
The formula for the power is given by
P=(120)²/14000
P=1.03 W
Answer
Given,
Periscope uses 45-45-90 prisms with total internal reflection adjacent to 45°.
refractive index of water, n_a = 1.33
refractive index of glass, n_g = 1.52
When the light enters the water, water will act as a lens and when we see the object from the periscope the object shown is farther than the usual distance.
The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.
We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)
