Two resistors of resistances R1 and R2, with R2>R1, are connected to a voltage source with voltage V0. When the resistors are

connected in series, the current is Is. When the resistors are connected in parallel, the current Ip from the source is equal to 10Is. Part A Let r be the ratio R1/R2. Find r. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.

Answer:

r=0.127

Explanation:

When  connected in series

Current = I

When connected in parallel

Current = 10 I

We know that equivalent resistance

In series  R = R₁+R₂

in parallel  R= R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)

Given that voltage is constant (Vo)

V = I R

Vo = I (R₁+R₂)  ------------1

Vo = 10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) -------2

From above equations

10 I (R₁R₂/(R₂+ R₁)) = I (R₁+R₂)  

10  R₁R₂ =  (R₁+R₂) (R₂+ R₁)

10  R₁R₂  = 2  R₁R₂  + R₁² + R₂²

8 R₁R₂  =     R₁² + R₂²

Given that

r =  R₁/R₂

Divides by R₂²

8R₁/R₂  = ( R₁/R₂)²+ 1

8 r = r ² + 1

r ² - 8 r+ 1 =0  

r= 0.127 and r= 7.87

But given that R₂>R₁  It means that r<1 only.

So the answer is r=0.127

Choose true or false for each statement regarding a parallel plate capacitor.. The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor i
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

The voltage of a disconnected charged capacitor increases when the plate area is decreased.

When plate area decreases , capacitance C decreases , but charge Q remains constant .

Q = C V where C is capacitance and V is voltage .

when C decreases , V increases for keeping Q constant .

So the statement is true.

The electric field is dependent on the charge density on the plates.

This statement is true .

The voltage of a connected charged capacitor remains the same when the plate area is decreased .

For a connected capacitor , V or voltage is constant which is equal to voltage of charging battery .

So the statement is true .

tester [92]

Explanation:

I think it will increase a little bit ... just image ... if the temperature is 0, the velocity will be 0 too. because the vibration of atom is so weak and the sound cant progation.
