A series circuit means that there is only one current. Which means that everything is sharing that one wire. Homes are normally wired with a parallel circuit, which means that there is more than one current running through the house. If you have a series, if you turn on one thing for example a light switch, than everything will turn on with it. But of you have a parallel you can turn on everything one by one, and save energy.
Trust me. I just took my semester test in physical science this morning, and I passed. This is exactly what we learned. <span />
Answer:
Explanation:
wavelength, λ = 2.5 m
speed, v = 13.8 m/s
Amplitude, A = 0.14 m
The general equation of the transverse harmonic wave which is travelling right is given by
where, Ф is phase
At t = 0, x = 0 , y = 0.14 m
0.14 = 0.14 Sin Ф
Ф = π/2
So, the equation is
Perpendicular slope would be 1/3. so the equation will be Y=1/3x -4
Answer:
R₁ = 50.77 Ω
Explanation:
Since, we know that:
Electric Power = P = VI
but from Ohm's Law:
V = IR
(or) I = V/R
Therefore,
P = V²/R
(OR) R = V²/P
where,
V = Battery Voltage
R = Resistance of combination
FOR SERIES COMBINATION:
R = Rs = (57 V)²/48 W
Rs = 67.69 Ω
but, we know that:
Rs = R₁ + R₂
R₁ + R₂ = 67.69 Ω
R₁ = 67.69 Ω - R₂ __________ eqn (1)
FOR PARALLEL COMBINATION:
R = Rp = (57 V)²/256 W
Rp = 12.69 Ω
but, we know that:
Rp = (R₁R₂)/(R₁ + R₂) = 12.69 Ω
using eqn (1) and value of R₁ + R₂, we get
Rp = 12.69 = R₂(67.69 - R₂)/67.69
859.08 = 67.69 R₂ - R₂²
R₂² - 67.69 R₂ + 859.08 = 0
Solving this quadratic equation we get the answers:
Either, R₂ = 50.76 Ω
Either, R₂ = 16.92 Ω
Since, it is stated in the question that R₁ > R₂. Therefore, we choose the second value. So,
<u>R₂ = 16.92 Ω</u>
using this value in eqn (1), we get:
R₁ = 67.69 Ω - 16.92 Ω
<u>R₁ = 50.77 Ω</u>
