Which statement describes the role of a resistor in an electrical circuit?

Physics

Arisa [49]3 years ago

The role of a resistor in an electrical circuit is to <u>hinder the movement of charge through a circuit</u>

Explanation:

A charge is carried through a wire by current (indicated as <em>I</em> in physics S.I connotation). Higher current means the rate at which the charge is flowing through the wire is fast. High resistance of the wire means the charge flows with difficulty hence slower. Resistance is given by the formulae;

R = V/I whereby;

R = resistance

V = voltage

I = current

As you can observe <em>R</em> (resistance) is inversely proportional to<em> I </em>(current). Meaning the higher the resistance the lower the current.

What is the frequency of a wave
MAVERICK [17]
The frequency of a wave is the number of waves that passes through a point in a certain time. The less waves that pass in a period of time the lower the frequency of the wave. The more waves that pass in a period of time the higher the frequency of the wave. When measuring wave length the time period used is usually one second.

Is it possible for an object that has a constant negative acceleration to change the direction in which it is moving? Explain wh
lozanna [386]
Yes! I think there are two ways you could go with this answer: 1) Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, it can be negative or positive. If you have an object that is already moving forwards in a straight line and give it a constant negative acceleration, it will slow down and then start going in reverse. 2)Velocity is a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. In the example above, the acceleration is due to a change in magnitude, or speed (from +ve to -ve) but not a change in direction. Something that has constant speed but is changing direction is also accelerating (like something that is orbiting). You could use the earth as an example, which is constantly accelerating due to moving in a circle around the sun. At any time in the year you can say that in half a year's time the earth's direction will be reversed.
