Answer:

Current Flow and Ohm's Law

Ohm's law is the most important, basic law of electricity. It defines the relationship between the three fundamental electrical quantities: current, voltage, and resistance. When a voltage is applied to a circuit containing only resistive elements (i.e. no coils), current flows according to Ohm's Law, which is shown below.

I = V / R

Where:

I =

Electrical Current (Amperes)

V =

Voltage (Voltage)

R =

Resistance (Ohms)

Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change. Similarly, increasing the resistance of the circuit will lower the current flow if the voltage is not changed. The formula can be reorganized so that the relationship can easily be seen for all of the three variables.

The Java applet below allows the user to vary each of these three parameters in Ohm's Law and see the effect on the other two parameters. Values may be input into the dialog boxes, or the resistance and voltage may also be varied by moving the arrows in the applet. Current and voltage are shown as they would be displayed on an oscilloscope with the X-axis being time and the Y-axis being the amplitude of the current or voltage. Ohm's Law is valid for both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Note that in AC circuits consisting of purely resistive elements, the current and voltage are always in phase with each other.

Exercise: Use the interactive applet below to investigate the relationship of the variables in Ohm's law. Vary the voltage in the circuit by clicking and dragging the head of the arrow, which is marked with the V. The resistance in the circuit can be increased by dragging the arrow head under the variable resister, which is marked R. Please note that the vertical scale of the oscilloscope screen automatically adjusts to reflect the value of the current.

See what happens to the voltage and current as the resistance in the circuit is increased. What happens if there is not enough resistance in a circuit? If the resistance is increased, what must happen in order to maintain the same level of current flow?Explanation:

Answer: current decreases

V=IR
I=V/R

So by inspection we see if the resistance grows or increases then current will have to decrease.

In the steady state 1.2 ✕ 1018 electrons per second enter bulb 1. There are 6.3 ✕ 1028 mobile electrons per cubic meter in tungs
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

E=12.2V/m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must address the concepts of drift velocity. A drift velocity is the average velocity attained by charged particles, such as electrons, in a material due to an electric field.

The equation is given by,

V=\frac{I}{nAq}

Where,

V= Drift Velocity

I= Flow of current

n= number of electrons

q = charge of electron

A = cross-section area.

For this problem we know that there is a rate of 1.8*10^{18} electrons per second, that is

\frac{I}{q} = 1.2*10^{18}

A= 1.3*10^{-8}m^2

n=6.3*10^{28} e/m^3

\omicron{O} = 1.2*10^{-4}(m/s)(N/c) Mobility

We can find the drift velocity replacing,

V = \frac{1.2*10^{18}}{(1.3*10^{-8})(6.3*10^{28})}

V= 1.465*10^-3m/s

The electric field is given by,

E= \frac{V}{\omicron{O}}

E=\frac{1.465*10^-3}{1.2*10^{-4}}

E=12.2V/m

A generator with �# ' = 300 V and Zg = 50 Ω is connected to a load ZL = 75 Ω through a 50-Ω lossless line of length l = 0.15λ. (
ki77a [65]

Answer:

a. Zin = 41.25 - j 16.35 Ω

b. V₁ = 143. 6 e⁻ ¹¹ ⁴⁶

c.  Pin = 216 w

d. PL = Pin = 216 w

e. Pg = 478.4 w , Pzg = 262.4 w

Explanation:

a.

Zin = Zo * [ ZL + j Zo Tan (βl) ] / [ Zo + j ZL Tan (βl) ]  

βl = 2π / λ * 0.15 λ = 54 °

Zin = 50 * [ 75 + j 50 Tan (54) ] / [ 50 + j 75 Tan (54) ]

Zin = 41.25 - j 16.35 Ω

b.

I₁ = Vg / Zg + Zin ⇒ I₁ = 300 / 41.25 - j 16.35 = 3.24 e ¹⁰ ¹⁶

V₁ = I₁ * Zin = 3.24 e ¹⁰ ¹⁶ * ( 41.25 - j 16.35)

V₁ = 143. 6 e⁻ ¹¹ ⁴⁶

c.

Pin = ¹/₂ * Re * [V₁ * I₁]

Pin = ¹/₂ * 143.6 ⁻¹¹ ⁴⁶ * 3.24 e ⁻ ¹⁰ ¹⁶ = 143.6 * 3.24 / 2 * cos (21.62)

Pin = 216 w

d.

The power PL and Pin are the same as the line is lossless input to the line ends up in the load so

PL = Pin

PL = 216 w

e.

Pg Generator

Pg = ¹/₂ * Re * [ V₁ * I₁ ] = 486 * cos (10.16)

Pg = 478.4 w

Pzg dissipated

Pzg = ¹/₂ * I² * Zg = ¹/₂ * 3.24² * 50

Pzg = 262.4 w

A person pushes two boxes with a horizontal force F of magnitude of 100 N.
Monica [59]

The magnitude of the action–reaction pair between the two boxes (A and B) will be "18.2 N".

According to the question,

Mass of box A,

  • m_A = 9\  kg

Mass of box B,

  • m_B = 2 \ kg

Horizontal force,

  • F_{app} = 100 \ N

From the Newton's law,

→ F_{app} = (\frac{F_{app}}{m_A+m_B} )a

or,

→      a = \frac{F_{app}}{(m_A+m_B)}

Bu substituting the values, we get

→         = \frac{100}{9+2}

→         = \frac{100}{11}

→         9.10 \ m/s^2

We can see that between the two boxes, the action-reaction pair exist.

then,

→ F_{action-reaction} = m_b \ a

→                          =2\times 9.10

→                          = 18.2 \ N (magnitude)

Thus the above solution is appropriate.
