Answer:

<h3>This shows that the power dissipated by the circuit element is four times its original power if the current is doubled.</h3>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the power expended in a circuit is P =  I²R... 1

i is the current (in amperes)

R is the resistance (in ohms)

If  a circuit element maintains a constant resistance and the current through the circuit element is doubled, then new current I₂ = 2I

New power dissipated P₂ = (I₂)²R

P₂ = (2I)²R

P₂ = 4I²R ... 2

Dividing equation 2 by 1 will give;

P₂/P = 4I²R/I²R

P₂/P = 4

P₂ = 4P

This shows that the power dissipated by the circuit element is four times its original power if the current is doubled.

➷ Use this equation:

Q = IT

Rearrange for I

I = Q/T

Substitute in the values:

I = 240/3

I = 80

The electric current is 80 amps.

Calculate the force between charges of 5.0 x 10^-8 c and 1.0 x 10^-7 if they are 5.0 feet apart
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

F = 19.375 x 10^-6  N

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by applying Coulomb's Law, which lets us determine the force between two electrically charged particles.

It is defined as

F = (ke * q1 * q2)/ r^2

Where,

ke =  is Coulomb's constant ≈ 9×10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2

q1 = 5.0 x 10^-8 C

q2 = 1.0 x 10^-7 C

r = 5 ft = 1,524 m

F  = (9×10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2)*(5.0 x 10^-8 C)*(1.0 x 10^-7 C)/ ((1,524 m)^2)

F  = (9×10^9 N⋅m^2⋅C^−2)*(5.0 x 10^-8 C)*(1.0 x 10^-7 C)/ ((1,524 m)^2)

F = 19.375 x 10^-6  N
