A resistor in a circuit acts as a switch to control the flow of charge in a circuit.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An electrical components that plays a role of limiting or regulating the electrical current flow is termed as Resistor. It can be helpful for the purpose of giving certain voltage to a device like a transistor. The current that is passing through a resistor has a inverse proportionality with its resistance and direct proportionality to the voltage that is passing across it., provided another factors remaining unchanged. This can be explained by Ohm's Law.

The electric current that is passing through an electrical circuit will always be dependent on the the voltage and the resistance. When the current flowing throgh a circuit is larger then it can result in heating that damages and burn he resistors or the objects that is present around the circuit.

(a) $Q = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{C}$ ;
(b) $V_\text{final} = 5.31\times 10^{2}\;\text{V}$ ;
(c) $E_\text{final} = 4.52\;\text{J}$ ;
(d) $\Delta E = 2.82\;\text{J}$ .

All four values are in 3 sig. fig.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

(a)

$Q = C\cdot V = 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850\;\text{V} = 1.70\times 10^{-2}\;\text{J}$ .

(b)

Sum of the final charge on the two capacitors should be the same as the sum of the initial charge. Voltage of the two capacitors should be the same. That is:

$C_1\cdot V_\text{final} +C_2 \cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial}$ ;

$(C_1+C_2)\cdot V_\text{final} = C_1\cdot V_\text{initial}$ ;

$\displaystyle V_\text{final} = \frac{C_1}{C_1+C_2}\cdot V_\text{initial}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} = \frac{20.0\;\mu\text{F}}{20.0\;\mu\text{F} + 12.0\;\mu\text{F}} \times 850\;\text{V}\\\phantom{V_\text{final}} =531\;\text{V}$ .

(c)

$\displaystyle E = \frac{1}{2}\cdot C\cdot V^{2}$ .

$\displaystyle E_\text{final} = \frac{1}{2} (C_1 + C_2) \cdot {V_\text{final}}^{2} \\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (20.0\times 10^{-6} + 12.0\times 10^{-6}) \times 531.25\\\phantom{E_\text{final}} = 4.52\;\text{J}$ .

(d)

Initial energy of the system, which is the same as the initial energy in the $20.0\;\mu\text{F}$ capacitor:

$\displaystyle E_\text{initial} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20.0\times 10^{-6} \times 850^{2} = 7.225\;\text{J}$ .

Change in energy:

$\Delta E = 7.225\;\text{J} - 4.516\;\text{J} = 2.70\;\text{J}$ .

A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what

rusak2 [61]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

$\mu$ = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

$v \propto \sqrt{T}$

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

$v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2$

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

The world’s longest organ pipe, in the boardwalk hall auditorium in atlantic city, is 64 feet long. what is the fundamental freq

zepelin [54]

The fundamental frequency of this open-open pipe is 8.82 Hz

The quantity of waves that pass a set location in a predetermined period of time is known as frequency. Frequency is the number of full cycles per second in the alternating current direction for an oscillating or fluctuating current. The hertz, also known as Hz, is the accepted unit of frequency.

The temporal rate of change observed in oscillatory and periodic phenomena, such as mechanical vibrations, audio signals (sound), radio waves, and light, is specified by the frequency, an essential parameter in science and engineering.

Assume vs = 344 m/s

f1 = vs/2L

= 344 m/s/ 2∙64 ft/(3.281 ft/m)

= 8.82 Hz

A wire carrying a 29.0 A current passes between the poles of a strong magnet such that the wire is perpendicular to the magnet's

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

2.59 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Current flowing through the wire, I = 29 A

Angle between the magnetic field and wire, θ = 90°

Magnetic force, F = 2.25 N

Length of wire, L = 3 cm = 0.03 m

The magnetic force, F, is related to the magnetic field, B, by the equation below:

F = I * L * B * sinθ

Inputting the given parameters:

2.25 = 29 * 0.03 * B * sin90

2.25 = 0.87 * B

=> B = 2.25/0.87

B = 2.59 T

The magnetic field strength between the poles is 2.59 T
