How does increasing the potential difference affect the current?

1 answer:

6 0

According to Ohm's law, Potential difference is directly proportional to the electric current so, when potential difference increases, current will also increase.

Hope this helps!

Which describes the electric field at the center of a ring of uniform negative charge?.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

A negatively charged particle -q is placed at the center of a uniformly charged ring, where the ring has a total positive charge Q as shown in the following figure. The particle, confined to move along the x axis, is moved a small distance x along the axis ( where x << a) and released. Show that the particle oscillates in simple harmonic motion with a frequency given by,

2. Two small (green) objects, each of mass m, are separated by a solid, massless rod of length L. They are located so that one o

rusak2 [61]

The rod is stretched due to the force of gravitational attraction.

The magnitude of the deformation force on the rod is -GMm×((1/r² + 1/(L+r)²)

<h3>What is gravity?</h3>

The force of attraction felt by a person which is directed at the center of a planet or Earth is called as the gravity.

The force of attraction is directly proportional to the product of masses of the object and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

F = GMm/R²

Given are two small (green) objects, each of mass m, are separated by a solid, massless rod of length L. They are located so that one of the objects is located at a distance of r away from the center of a uniform spherical planet with mass M. Assume that m is very small so that you can ignore the gravitational force between the two small (green) objects.

Let the mass closer to the planet is A and the other is B

FA = Force on planet A = -GMm/r²

FB = Force on planet B = -GMm/(L+r)²

Net Force on the rod is given by the addition of the individual forces.

Fnet= FA + FB = -GMm/r² -GMm/(L+r)²

Fnet = -GMm×((1/r² + 1/(L+r)²)

Thus, the magnitude of the deformation force on the rod is derived above.

A experience more force than B, so A will stretch out from B. Hence the force is stretching the rod.

A spherical conducting shell has charge Q. A point charge q is placed at the center of the cavity. The charge on the inner surfa

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:d

Explanation:

From Gauss law Electric field inside a surface is directly proportional to the charge enclosed in it.

Electric field inside a spherical shell is zero and hence there is no charge inside the spherical shell because q charge induces a -q charge on inside surface of spherical shell.

and to counter it there is q charge on the surface. So total charge outside the surface is Q+q

A bike race against the clock takes place on a straight road. Yan drives at 37 km / h and he starts the course 30s before Christ

joja [24]

Given data:

Yan speed;

$u_1=37\text{ km/h}$

Christopher speed;

$u_2=38.9\text{ km/h}$

Christophe starts 30 s later than Yan. Therefore, Christophe takes 30 s less than Yan to reach the same distance.

Part (A)

The distance is given as,

$d=ut$

Let both Yan and Christophe meet at d distance from the start position. Therefore,

$u_1t=u_2(t-30)$

Substituting all known values,

$\begin{gathered} (37\text{ km/h})t=(38.9\text{ km/h})\times(t-30) \\ \frac{(37\text{ km/h})}{(38.9\text{ km/h})}=\frac{(t-30)}{t} \\ 0.95=1-\frac{30}{t} \\ \frac{30}{t}=1-0.95 \\ \frac{30}{t}=0.05 \\ t=\frac{30}{0.05} \\ t=600\text{ s} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, 600 s after Yan's departure Christophe will join him.

Part (B)

The distance is given as,

$d=u_1t$

Substituting all known values,

$\begin{gathered} d=(37\text{ km/h})\times(600\text{ s}) \\ =(37\text{ km/h})\times(600\text{ s})\times(\frac{1\text{ hr}}{3600\text{ s}}) \\ \approx6.17\text{ km} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, Christophe joins Yan after 6.17 km from the start.

A ray of light is moving from a material having a high indexof refraction into a material with a lower index of refraction.

luda_lava [24]

(a) Away from the normal

We can find the direction of bending of the ray of light by using Snell's equation:

$n_1 sin \theta_1 = n_2 sin \theta_2$

where we have:

n1, n2: index of refraction of the first and second medium

$\theta_1, \theta_2$ ; angle that the incident and the refracted ray form with the normal to the surface

Here, the light ray moves from a material with high index of refraction to a material with lower index, so we have

$n_1 > n_2$

Re-arranging Snell's law we find

$sin \theta_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2} sin \theta_1$

since we have

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$

this implies

$sin \theta_2 > sin \theta_1\\\theta_2 > \theta_1$

so the ray of light bends away from the normal.

(b) The wavelength is greater in the second material (the one with lower index of refraction)

The wavelength of the light in a medium is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0$ is the wavelength of the light in a vacuum

n is the refractive index

The equation can be rewritten as

$\lambda_0 = \lambda_1 n_1 = \lambda_2 n_2$

and again it can be rewritten as

$\lambda_2 = \frac{n_1}{n_2} \lambda_1$

where

$\lambda_1 = 600 nm\\\frac{n_1}{n_2}>1$

Therefore, we have that the wavelength in the second medium (the one with lower index of refraction) is longer than the wavelength in the first medium.

(c) The frequency remains the same

Wavelength and speed of a light ray depend on the medium in which the wave is travelling through, however the frequency does not depend on that, so it remains the same in the two mediums.
