What is the function of a fixed resistor?

Engineering
1 answer:
agasfer [191]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

  add resistance to a circuit

Explanation:

It depends on the design in which it is incorporated. A fixed resistor has many uses, including, but not limited to ...

  • dropping voltage
  • limiting current
  • contributing to a time delay
  • adjusting frequency response
  • eliminating (or creating) signal reflections
  • acting as a fuse
  • calibrating or trimming a response
  • providing protection against electrical shock or ESD
  • acting as a reference when measuring variable resistors

If you were to plot the voltage versus the current for a given circuit, what would you expect the slope of the line to be? If no
Brut [27]

Answer:

Part 1: It would be a straight line, current will be directly proportional to the voltage.

Part 2: The current would taper off and will have negligible increase after the voltage  reaches a certain  value. Graph attached.

Explanation:

For the first part, voltage and current have a linear relationship as dictated by the Ohm's law.

V=I*R

where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance. As the Voltage increase, current is bound to increase too, given that the resistance remains constant.

In the second part, resistance is not constant. As an element heats up, it consumes more current because the free sea of electrons inside are moving more rapidly, disrupting the flow of charge. So, as the voltage increase, the current does increase, but so does the resistance. Leaving less room for the current to increase. This rise in temperature is shown in the graph attached, as current tapers.

Consider fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe. If the viscosity of the fluid is reduced by half by heating while the
gladu [14]

Answer:

The pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its original value.

Explanation:

For a fully developed laminar flow in a circular pipe, the flowrate (volumetric) is given by the Hagen-Poiseulle's equation.

Q = π(ΔPR⁴/8μL)

where Q = volumetric flowrate

ΔP = Pressure drop across the pipe

μ = fluid viscosity

L = pipe length

If all the other parameters are kept constant, the pressure drop across the circular pipe is directly proportional to the viscosity of the fluid flowing in the pipe

ΔP = μ(8QL/πR⁴)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (8QL/πR⁴) = constant (for this question)

ΔP = Kμ

K = (ΔP/μ)

So, if the viscosity is halved, the new viscosity (μ₁) will be half of the original viscosity (μ).

μ₁ = (μ/2)

The new pressure drop (ΔP₁) is then

ΔP₁ = Kμ₁ = K(μ/2)

Recall,

K = (ΔP/μ)

ΔP₁ = K(μ/2) = (ΔP/μ) × (μ/2) = (ΔP/2)

Hence, the pressure drop across the pipe also reduces by half of its initial value if the viscosity of the fluid reduces by half of its value.

Hope this Helps!!!

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

✔️a healthy mind resides in a healthy body.

Explanation:

The seers were of the opinion that "a healthy mind resides in a healthy body."

Just like the English translation of a famous quotation from Thales, pre-Socratic Greek philosopher puts it "a sound mind in a sound body"; which tries to demonstrate the close connections that exists in bodily well-being and one's ability to enjoy life.

The seers were actually of the opinion that a healthy mind resides in a healthy body. It implies that there is connection between the body and the mind. When the body catches an illness, the mind and other parts of the body are affected. When our minds are not healthy, it affects the effective functioning of the body.

So, a healthy mind will definitely be found in a healthy body.

A missile flying at high speed has a stagnation pressure and temperature of 5 atm and 598.59 °R respectively. What is the densit
alexdok [17]

Answer:

5.31\frac{kg}{m^3}

Explanation:

Approximately, we can use the ideal gas law, below we see how we can deduce the density from general gas equation. To do this, remember that the number of moles n is equal to \frac{m}{M}, where m is the mass and M the molar mass of the gas, and the density is \frac{m}{V}.

For air M=28.66*10^{-3}\frac{kg}{mol} and \frac{5}{9}R=K

So, 598.59 R*\frac{5}{9}=332.55K

pV=nRT\\pV=\frac{m}{M}RT\\\frac{m}{V}=\frac{pM}{RT}\\\rho=\frac{pM}{RT}\\\rho=\frac{(5atm)28.66*10^{-3}\frac{kg}{mol}}{(8.20*10^{-5}\frac{m^3*atm}{K*mol})332.55K}=5.31\frac{kg}{m^3}
