Where is parallel circuits used?

Physics
1 answer:
suter [353]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

if one bulb burns out, the other bulbs in the fixture continue to operate. Other uses include an electronic OR gate, where two switches are in a parallel circuit: one of the switches must be closed for the circuit to function.

A parallel-plate capacitor is held at a potential difference of 250 V. A proton is fired toward a small hole in the negative pla
MissTica

Answer:

The speed of proton when it emerges through the hole in the positive plate is 2.05\times 10^5\ m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

A parallel-plate capacitor is held at a potential difference of 250 V.

A A proton is fired toward a small hole in the negative plate with a speed of, u=3\times 10^5\ m/s

We need to find the speed when it emerges through the hole in the positive plate. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

qV=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2\\\\1.6\times10^{-19}\times250=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}\cdot1.67\times10^{-27}\cdot(3\times10^{5})^{2}\\\\\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=3.515\cdot10^{-17}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.515\cdot10^{-17}\cdot2}{1.67\times10^{-27}}}\\\\v=2.05\times 10^5\ m/s

So, the speed of proton when it emerges through the hole in the positive plate is 2.05\times 10^5\ m/s.

A diffraction grating is placed 1.00 m from a viewing screen. Light from a hydrogen lamp goes through the grating. A hydrogen sp
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

λ = 396.7 nm

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the diffraction ratio of a grating

           d sin θ = m λ

in general the networks works in the first order m = 1

we can use trigonometry, remembering that in diffraction experiments the angles are small

           tan θ = y / L

           tan θ = \frac{sin \theta}{cos \theta} = sin θ

           sin θ = y / L

we substitute

          d \  \frac{y}{L} = m λ

with the initial data we look for the distance between the lines

           d = \frac{m \lambda \ L}{y}

           d = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.00 / 0.600

            d = 1.09 10⁻⁶ m

for the unknown lamp we look for the wavelength

           λ = d y / L m

           λ = 1.09 10⁻⁶ 0.364 / 1.00 1

           λ = 3.9676 10⁻⁷ m

           λ = 3.967 10⁻⁷ m

         

we reduce nm

           λ = 396.7 nm

Which type wire should be used to increase resistance
8_murik_8 [283]

Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.

Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.

A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.

===============

I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then

Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance

Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.

Both rules assume you are using something like copper.

kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1
