She uses a voltmeter, that measures in volts, and an ammeter that measures in amps. Both were correctly placed in her circuit. I
n her notes she wrote x = 0.15 z = 0.3 but did not indicate volts or amps, or which meter was which. The resistor on the left is 5 ohms. (A) Which was the ammeter? explain. (B) What is the voltage difference across each resistor? Explain. (C) What is the voltage of the battery? Explain.
1 answer:
Answer:
A) the ammeter is x
B)
- voltage across R₁ (left resistor) = 0.75 V
- voltage across the right one = 0.3 V
C) 1.05 V
Explanation:
From the diagram attached below;
A) Assuming the homes were wired in series, and one of the homes face short circuit then all the houses would face power cut but it doesn't happen. So they must be connected in parallel.
Therefore; The ammeter is connected in series, Hence, the ammeter is x and the voltmeter must be z.
B)
Given that:
x = 0.15 A
z = 0.3 V
Resistor (R) on the left = 5 ohms
Then, voltage across R₁ (left resistor) = 5×(x)
= 5×0.15
= 0.75 V
voltage across the right one = z = 0.3 V
C)
The total voltage of battery = 0.75+0.3 = 1.05 V

Explanation:
it is given that, the linear charge density of a charge,
Firstly, we can define the electric field for a small element and then integrate for the whole. The very small electric field is given by :
..........(1)
The linear charge density is given by :
Integrating equation (1) from x = x₀ to x = infinity
Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
The mass of the earth,
Explanation:
It is given that,
Time taken by the moon to orbit the earth,
Distance between moon and the earth,
We need to find the mass of the Earth using Kepler's third law of motion as :
So, the mass of the earth is . Hence, this is the required solution.
