THE CURRENT IN A CONDUCTOR CAN BE INCREASED BY BOTH INCREASING THE VOLTAGE ACROSS IT AND DECREASING ITS RESISTANCE.

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to current passing through resistance and directly proportional to resistance.

According to ohm's law,

V = I * R

It means voltage is directly proportional to current and resistance.

current and resistance are inversely proportional to each other.

so from the above law it can be stated that current in a conductor can be increased by both increasing the voltage across it and decreasing its resistance.

Current in a conductor can be increased by Both of these (3rd Option )

<u>Explanation:</u>

Ohm's law states that the current is directly proportional to its applied voltage and it is inversely proportional to the resistance between the points.

Factors increasing the current in a conductor are:

  • As we know that resistance and conductance are inversely proportional to each other.
  • As we increase the voltage across the two points, then the current in the conductor increases.
  • As we decrease the resistance the current in the conductor increases.

Imagine two fixed charges on the x axis. Charge one is +q and is located to the left of charge two which is equal to -4q. Where
givi [52]

Answer: B)To the left of the charges.

Explanation: between the charges the electric field will not cancel but will be added since electric field lines from both charges point in the same direction. To the right of the charge the -4q will take over as it’s strength overcomes the strength of the +q charge. At this point the magnitude of +q will never reach a magnitude strong enough to cancel the -4q. To the left, it is further away from -4q and is closer to +q and electric field lines point in different direction

What did physicist James Joule's famous paddle wheel experiment demonstrate?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

<u>Answer </u>

A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water


<u>Explanation</u>

James Joule allowed some water to fall from a height of 1 foot. the water would turn a paddle wheel at the bottom causing a temperature of water to raise.

The height form which the water fell, mass and the temperature of water was measured and used to calculate mechanical equivalent of heat.

From the choices given the best answer is A. that the initial gravitational potential energy of the masses transformed into kinetic energy of the paddles and then to thermal energy in the water.

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

y_{cg} = 1.03 m

Explanation:

Given data:

weigh (head+arms + head) w_1 = 438 N

centre of gravity y_1= 1.28 m

weigh (upper leg) w_2 = 144 N

Center of gravity y_2 = 0.760 m

weigh ( lower leg + feet) = 87 N

centre of gravity = y_3 = 0.250 m

location of center of gravity = \frac{w_1 y_1 + w_2 y_2 + w_3 y_3}{w_1 +W_2 +w_3}

y_{cg} = \frac{438 \times 1.28 + 144\times 0.760 + 87 \times 0.250}{438+144+87}

y_{cg} = 1.03 m
