Two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source of EMF = 8.0V with a negligible internal resistance. One bulb has a resistan

ce of 3.0Ω , and the other is 2.5Ω . A resistor R is connected in the circuit in series with the two bulbs.
(a) What value of R should be chosen in order to supply each bulb with a voltage of 2.4 V?
(b) For what value of R would the potential difference across each of the bulbs be 2.4 V?

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.18Ω

(b) 3.18Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let the two bulbs be A and B

Given;

R_{A} = Resistance in bulb A = 3.0Ω

R_{B} = Resistance in bulb B = 2.5Ω

Since the two bulbs are connected in parallel;

i. their effective resistance (R_{X}) is given by

\frac{1}{R_{X}} = \frac{1}{R_{A} } + \frac{1}{R_{B} }  ---------------(i)

Substitute the values of R_{A} and R_{B} into equation (i)

=> \frac{1}{R_{X}} = \frac{1}{3.0} + \frac{1}{2.5}

Solve for  R_{X}

R_{X} = 1.36Ω

ii. voltage (potential difference), V, across them is the same;

Therefore we can get the total current (I) that will flow through them if the voltage to be supplied is 2.4V.

Use the Ohm's law;

V = I x R    -----------------(ii)

Where;

V = voltage across them = 2.4V

I = total current flowing through them

R = their effective resistance = R_{X} = 1.36Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

2.4  = I x 1.36

I = 2.4 / 1.36

I = 1.76A

(a) Now get the value of R

Since the voltage across the two bulbs is 2.4V out of the 8.0V supplied by the source, then the remaining (8.0 - 2.4 = 5.6)V will pass across the resistor R.

Also, since the two bulbs make a series connection with the resistor R, the same total current (I = 1.76A) that flows through these bulbs will flow through the resistor R.

Therefore, to get the value of R, we use the relation

V = I x R   ------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = voltage across the resistor = 5.6V

I = current through the resistor = 1.76A

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii)</em>

=> 5.6 = 1.76 x R

=> R  = 5.6 / 1.76

=> R = 3.18Ω

Therefore, the value of R to be chosen in order to supply each bulb with a voltage of 2.4V is 3.18Ω

(b) The potential difference and voltage across refer to the same thing. Therefore, the value of R that would make the potential difference across each of the bulbs be 2.4V is the same as the one calculated in (a) which is 3.18Ω

anzhelika [568]
The atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom. This value never changes because the number of protons in the nucleus always remains constant. The mass number tells you the number of protons and neutrons (or nucleons) together: protons + neutrons = mass number. Since the number of neutrons in the nucleus varies, you can have different amounts of neutrons in the same type of atom. These varied types are called isotopes.

Hope this helps.

An astronaut is taking a space walk near the shuttle when her safety tether breaks. what should the astronaut do to get back to
sergeinik [125]
The best way in handling in this situation is that in order for the astronaut to be able to get back to the shuttle is that he or she should take an object from his or her tool belt and to be thrown out away from the shuttle. This will allow her to weight lightly and safely return to the shuttle and would be easier for his or her to do so.
