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

Physics

Arisa [49]2 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.

How is the wavelength of a longitudinal wave determined?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

Wavelength can always be found by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

A wheel is rotating at 30.0 rpm. The wheel then accelerates uniformly to 50.0 rpm in 10.0 seconds. Determine the – a) rate of an
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is 0.209\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Angular velocity, \omega_{i} = 30.0\ rpm

Angular velocity, \omega_{f} = 50.0\ rpm

Time t = 10.0 sec

We need to calculate the angular acceleration

Using formula of angular acceleration

\alpha=\dfrac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}

\alpha=\dfrac{\omega_{f}-\omega_{i}}{\Delta t}

\alpha=\dfrac{50.0-30.0}{10.0}

Now, we change the angular velocity in rad/s.

\omega=20\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60}

\omega=2.09\ rad/s

\alpha=\dfrac{2.09}{10.0}

\alpha=0.209\ rad/s^2

Hence, The angular acceleration is 0.209\ rad/s^2

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

F = qE

so here the force is tension force on it

F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N

Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C

now we have

6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E

E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C

direction is Horizontal

Why is it important to study electromagnetic waves?
labwork [276]
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.
