From the concept of optics on a curvature of a spherical mirror, the proportion for which the focal length is equivalent to half the radius of curvature is fulfilled. Mathematically this is

f = \frac{R}{2}

Here,

f = Focal Length

R = Radius

Rearranging to find the radius we have,

R = 2f

Replacing with our values,

R = 2(13.8cm)

R = 27.6cm

Therefore the radius of the spherical surface from which the mirror was made is 27.6cm

Draw a schematic diagram of a circuit consisting of a battery of five 2 V cells, a 5 ohm resistor, a 10 ohm resistor, a 15 ohm r
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

  • Current = 0.33 A

Explanation:

  • For diagram refer the attachment.

It is given that five cells of 2V are connected in series, so total voltage of the battery:

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf V = 2 \times 5 = 10 V

Three resistor of 5\Omega, 10\Omega, 15\Omega are connected in Series, so the net resistance:

\dashrightarrow \: \: \sf R_{n} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3}

\dashrightarrow \: \:  \sf R = 5 + 10 + 15

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{R = 30 \:  \Omega}}}}

According to ohm's law:

\dashrightarrow  \sf\: \: V = IR

\dashrightarrow  \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{V}{R}

On substituting resultant voltage (V) as 10 V and resultant resistant, as 30 {\pmb{\sf{\Omega}}} we get:

\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: I = \dfrac{10V}{30\Omega}

{ \pink{\dashrightarrow \sf \: \: { \underbrace{I = 0.33 A}}}}

\thereforeThe electric current passing through the above circuit when the key is closed will be <u>0.33 A</u>

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the objects ____or ____ depends on the size and direction of the force
timama [110]

When an unbalanced force acts on an object the change in the object state of rest or motion depends on the size and direction of the force.

If a body is at state of rest or motion, when an unbalanced external force acts on it, its starts moving in the direction of force and magnitude of its velocity or acceleration depends on the magnitude of force applied.
