Answer:

Ratio of series current to parallel

= 1 : 8

Explanation:

Total resistance Rt

For series, Rt = 2+2+2+2 = 4ohms

For parallel, 1/Rt = 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/2

1/Rt = 4/2, Rt = 2/4 ohms.

If we use a 1V battery, then,

I = V/Rt

I = 1/4 = 0.25 ampere for series arrangement.

I = 1/0.5 = 2 ohms.

Ratio of current of series to parallel = 0.25 : 2

= 1 : 8

Answer:

The ratio of electric current in series and in parallel connection is 0.0625

Explanation:

Here we have for the series resistors

∑R_s = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + R₄ = 8 Ω

The current is gotten from

V = IR

I_s = V/R_s = V/8 Ω

For the parallel connected resistors we have

\frac{1}{\Sigma R_p} = \frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}+\frac{1}{R_3}+\frac{1}{R_4}

Which gives

\frac{1}{\Sigma R_p} = \frac{1}{2} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{2} = 2

Therefore,

\Sigma R_p = \frac{1}{2}=0.5\hspace{0.09cm} \Omega

From which,

I_p=\frac{V}{R_p} = V/0.5 Ω

The ratio between the series and parallel connection electric current  is therefore,

\frac{I_s}{I_p} = \frac{\frac{V}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} }{\frac{V}{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} }  = \frac{V}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega} \times \frac{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}{V}  = \frac{0.5\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}{8\hspace{0.09cm}\Omega}  = 0.0625.

What is the energy of a photon that has the same wavelength as an electron having a kinetic energy of 15 ev?
serg [7]

Answer: 6.268(10)^{-16}J

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an electron K_{e} is given by the following equation:

K_{e}=\frac{(p_{e})^{2} }{2m_{e}}   (1)

Where:

K_{e}=15eV=2.403^{-18}J=2.403^{-18}\frac{kgm^{2}}{s^{2}}

p_{e} is the momentum of the electron

m_{e}=9.11(10)^{-31}kg  is the mass of the electron

From (1) we can find p_{e}:

p_{e}=\sqrt{2K_{e}m_{e}}    (2)

p_{e}=\sqrt{2(2.403^{-18}J)(9.11(10)^{-31}kg)}  

p_{e}=2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}   (3)

Now, in order to find the wavelength of the electron \lambda_{e}   with this given kinetic energy (hence momentum), we will use the De Broglie wavelength equation:

\lambda_{e}=\frac{h}{p_{e}}    (4)

Where:

h=6.626(10)^{-34}J.s=6.626(10)^{-34}\frac{m^{2}kg}{s} is the Planck constant

So, we will use the value of p_{e} found in (3) for equation (4):

\lambda_{e}=\frac{6.626(10)^{-34}J.s}{2.091(10)^{-24}\frac{kgm}{s}}    

\lambda_{e}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (5)

We are told the wavelength of the photon  \lambda_{p} is the same as the wavelength of the electron:

\lambda_{e}=\lambda_{p}=3.168(10)^{-10}m    (6)

Therefore we will use this wavelength to find the energy of the photon E_{p} using the following equation:

E_{p}=\frac{hc}{lambda_{p}}    (7)

Where c=3(10)^{8}m/s  is the spped of light in vacuum

E_{p}=\frac{(6.626(10)^{-34}J.s)(3(10)^{8}m/s)}{3.168(10)^{-10}m}  

Finally:

E_{p}=6.268(10)^{-16}J

A coil of 40 turns is wrapped around a long solenoid of cross-sectional area 7.5×10−3m2. The solenoid is 0.50 m long and has 500
defon

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to mutual inductance in a solenoid.

This definition is described in the following equation as,

M = \frac{\mu_0 N_1 N_2A_1}{l_1}

Where,

\mu =permeability of free space

N_1 = Number of turns in solenoid 1

N_2 = Number of turns in solenoid 2

A_1= Cross sectional area of solenoid

l = Length of the solenoid

Part A )

Our values are given as,

\mu_0 = 4\pi *10^{-7}H/m

N_1 = 500

N_2 = 40

A = 7.5*10^{-4}m^2

l = 0.5m

Substituting,

M = \frac{\mu_0 N_1 N_2A_2}{l_1}

M = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(500)(40)(7.5*10^{-4})}{0.5}

M = 3.77*10^{-4}H

PART B) Considering that many of the variables remain unchanged in the second solenoid, such as the increase in the radius or magnetic field, we can conclude that mutual inducantia will appear the same.
