Answer:

The voltage will quadruple

Explanation:

The power dissipated in a circuit is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

In this problem, the voltage across the circuit is doubled:

V' = 2V

So the new power dissipated is

$P'=\frac{V'^2}{R}=\frac{(2V)^2}{R}=4\frac{V^2}{R}=4 P$

so, the power dissipated will quadruple.

A pulsar is a rapidly rotating neutron star. The Crab nebula pulsar in the constellation Taurus has a period of 33.5\times 10^{-

Answer:

$5.25\cdot 10^{40} kg m^2/s$

Explanation:

The angular momentum of the pulsar is given by:

$L=m\omega r^2$

where

$m=2.8\cdot 10^{30} kg$ is the mass of the pulsar

$r = 10.0 km = 1\cdot 10^4 m$ is the radius

$\omega$ is the angular speed

Given the period of the pulsar, $T=33.5\cdot 10^{-3} s$ , the angular speed is given by

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2 \pi}{33.5\cdot 10^{-3}s}=187.5 rad/s$

And so, the angular momentum is

$L=m\omega r^2=(2.8\cdot 10^{30}kg)(187.5 rad/s)(1\cdot 10^4 m)^2=5.25\cdot 10^{40} kg m^2/s$

What causes dispersion of light?

AysviL [449]

Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.
