You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla

ces them in series across normal household voltage. If each one is an incandescent bulb of fixed resistance, which statement about these bulbs is correct?

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb

Do you think it is possible to control the magnetic properties of a magnet? Can a magnet be turned on and off?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Yes it is possible to control to some extent.

Explanation:

In general there are two types of magnets : permanent and temporary (electromagnets).

Electromagnets can be controlled since it basically depends on electricity. By switching on and off the electric supply the magnets also can be switched on and off respectively. We can also control the intensity of magnetic power.

On the other hand permanent magnet cannot be switched on and off but the magnetic properties can be altered event to an extent when it loses all its magnetic properties. It can be caused by high temperature, physical impact and also exposure to other magnetic fields. For every element there is a point of temperature called curie temperature above which the permanent magnet loses its magnetic properties. This can be brought back again by induced magnetism. The only issue is that induced magnetism work in most cases but not in all.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Tension= 21,900N

Components of Normal force

Fnx= 17900N

Fny= 22700N

FN= 28900N

Explanation:

Tension in the cable is calculated by:

Etorque= -FBcostheta(1/2L)+FT(3/4L)-FWcostheta(L)= I&=0 static equilibrium

FTorque(3/4L)= FBcostheta(1/2L)+ FWcostheta(L)

Ftorque=(Fcostheta(1/2L)+FWcosL)/(3/4L)

Ftorque= 2/3FBcostheta+ 4/3FWcostheta

Ftorque=2/3(1350)(9.81)cos55° + 2/3(2250)(9.81)cos 55°

Ftorque= 21900N

b) components of Normal force

Efx=FNx-FTcos(90-theta)=0 static equilibrium

Fnx=21900cos(90-55)=17900N

Fy=FNy+ FTsin(90-theta)-FB-FW=0

FNy= -FTsin(90-55)+FB+FW

FNy= -21900sin(35)+(1350+2250)×9.81=22700N

The Normal force

FN=sqrt(17900^2+22700^2)

FN= 28.900N

An electron follows a helical path in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.340 T. The pitch of the path is 6.00 µm, and the m
dedylja [7]

Answer:

The electron's speed is 34007.35 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Magnetic field, B = 0.34 T

Magnetic force on the electron, F=1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N

The electron follows a helical path. We have to find the speed of an electron. The formula for magnetic force is given by :

F=B\times q\times v

q = charge on an electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

v = velocity of an electron

v=\dfrac{F}{Bq}

v=\dfrac{1.85\times 10^{-15}\ N}{0.34\ T\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}

v = 34007.35 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.
