he electronics supply company where you work has two different resistors, R1 and R2, in its inventory, and you must measure the

values of their resistances. Unfortunately, stock is low, and all you have are R1 and R2 in parallel and in series - and you can't separate these two resistor combinations. You separately connect each resistor network to a battery with emf 57.0 V and negligible internal resistance and measure the power P supplied by the battery in both cases. For the series combination, P = 48.0 W; for the parallel combination, P = 256 W. You are told that R1>R2. Calculate R1.

Answer:

R₁ = 50.77 Ω

Explanation:

Since, we know that:

Electric Power = P = VI

but from Ohm's Law:

V = IR

(or) I = V/R

Therefore,

P = V²/R

(OR) R = V²/P

where,

V = Battery Voltage

R = Resistance of combination

FOR SERIES COMBINATION:

R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W

Rs = 67.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rs = R₁ + R₂

R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂  __________ eqn (1)

FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:

R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W

Rp = 12.69 Ω

but, we know that:

Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω

using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get

Rp = 12.69  = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69

859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²

R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0

Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:

Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω

Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω

Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,

<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>

using this value in eqn (1), we get:

R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω

<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>

A straight segment of a current-carrying wire has a current element IL where I = 2.70 A and L = 3.20 cm i + 4.30 cm j. The segme
myrzilka [38]

The component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>current in the wire, I = 2.7 A</em>
  • <em>length of the wire, L = (3.2 i + 4.3j) cm</em>
  • <em>magnetic filed, B = 1.24 i</em>

The force on the segment of the wire is calculated as follows;

F = ILBsin(\theta)

where;

  • <em>θ is the angle wire and magnetic field</em>

<em />

The force on the wire segment will be perpendicular in negative z-direction (applying right hand rule), so there won't be any x and y component of the force.

The angle between the wire and the magnetic field is calculated as follows;

\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{y}{x} )\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{4.3}{3.2} )\\\\\theta = 53.3 \ ^0

The magnitude of the wire length is calculated as follows;

|l | = \sqrt{3.2^2 + 4.3^2} = 5.36 \ cm = 0.0536 \ m

The component of the force in negative z-direction is calculated as;

F_z = -ILB sin(\theta)\\\\F_z = -2.7 \times 0.0536 \times 1.24 \times  sin(53.3)\\\\F_z = -0.144 \ N

Thus, the component of the force in negative z-direction is -0.144 N.

snow_tiger [21]
Get a pull chord light switch installed in her bathroom by a qualified electrician asap. Meanwhile, keep hands as dry as possible, and try not to go near that switch until it's either been properly earthed, or whatever the problem actually is, and get qualified advice on what the problem is. Don't have wet feet either, and don't stand in puddles of water whilst operating - i she has to - the switch. 250V AC mains can be lethal, and at least painful.
