Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in se

ries to a 12.0-V battery, the current from the battery is 2.00 A. When the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery, the total current from the battery is 10.2 A. Determine the two resistances.

Answer:

1.61ohms and 4.39ohms

Explanation:

According to ohm's law which States that the current (I) passing through a metallic conductor at constant temperature is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) across its ends. Mathematically, E = IRt where;

E is the electromotive force

I is the current

Rt is the effective resistance

Let the resistances be R and r

When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.0-V battery and the current from the battery is 2.00 A, the equation becomes;

12 = 2(R+r)

Rt = R+r (connection in series)

6 = R+r ...(1)

If the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery and the total current from the battery is 10.2 A, the equation will become;

12 = 10.2(1/R+1/r)

Since 1/Rt = 1/R+1/r (parallel connection)

Rt = R×r/R+r

12 = 10.2(Rr/R+r)

12(R+r) = 10.2Rr ... (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously to get the resistances. From (1), R = 6-r...(3)

Substituting equation 3 into 2 we have;

12{(6-r)+r} = 10.2(6-r)r

12(6-r+r) = 10.2(6r-r²)

72 = 10.2(6r-r²)

36 = 5.1(6r-r²)

36 = 30.6r-5.1r²

5.1r²-30.6r +36 =

r = 30.6±√30.6²-4(5.1)(36)/2(5.1)

r = 30.6±√936.36-734.4/10.2

r = 30.6±√201.96/10.2

r = 30.6±14.2/10.2

r = 44.8/10.2 and r = 16.4/10.2

r = 4.39 and 1.61ohms

Since R+r = 6

R+1.61 = 6

R = 6-1.61

R = 4.39ohms

Therefore the resistances are 1.61ohms and 4.39ohms

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10^5 Pa. People can normally snorkel down to a depth of roughly one meter. What
natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

1. Los Angeles lies on Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on North American plate. When will the two cities meet if the distance
spin [16.1K]

Los Angeles lies on the Pacific plate, San Francisco lies on the North American plate, and the meeting point of the two cities is mathematically given as

T = 120 x 105 years

<h3>What is the meeting point of the two plates?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Distance is mathematically given as

D = Rate x Time

Therefore

T = D/R

T = (600 x 105) / 5

T = 120 x 105 years

In conclusion, the meeting point of the two plates will be

T = 120 x 105 years

A tiny sphere carrying a charge of 6. 5 µc sits in an electric field, at a point where the electric potential is 240 v. what is
vodka [1.7K]

The sphere’s Electric potential energy is 1.6*10^{-6}J

Given,

q=6. 5 µc, V=240 v,

We know that sphere’s Electric potential energy(E) = qV=6.5*10^{-6} *240=1.6*10^{-6}J

<h3>Electric potential energy</h3>

The configuration of a certain set of point charges within a given system is connected with the potential energy (measured in joules) known as electric potential energy, which is a product of conservative Coulomb forces. Two crucial factors—its inherent electric charge and its position in relation to other electrically charged objects—can determine whether an object has electric potential energy.

In systems with time-varying electric fields, the potential energy is referred to as "electric potential energy," but in systems with time-invariant electric fields, the potential energy is referred to as "electrostatic potential energy."

A tiny sphere carrying a charge of 6. 5 µc sits in an electric field, at a point where the electric potential is 240 v. what is the sphere’s potential energy?
