Answer:

6A

Explanation:

Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL) states that for a parallel path circuit with current flow the sum of the current entering the circuit's junction is equal to the sum of the current moving away from it.

That is 10A enters the junction

and 4A is observed in one of the two branches, that means

10A - 4A = 6A the current in the other branch

Answer:

6A

Explanation:

Given that the current that enters the junction is 10A, According to Kirchoff's current law which states that the total amount of current entering a junction must be equal to the total amount of current leaving the junction, then the total current that also leaves the junction must be equal to 10A, and since one of the two branches by which current leaves the junction has a current of 4A, and the total current leaving the junction must be equal to 10A. So, current passing through the second wire can be given as;

I(total) = I1 + I2

I1 = 4A

I(total) = 10A

I2 = I(total) - I1 = 10A - 4A = 6A

Therefore, the amount of current leaving through the other branch is 6A.

makvit [3.9K]
It would be 429 because in the question it said “ if she was swimming downstream of HALF of her maximum speed, how far will she swim for 13 minutes” so first you would divide 66 by 2 and get 33 then you would multiply 33 by 13 to get you’re answer.

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

E = 2 \times 10^{-3} V

Explanation:

As we know that rate of change in flux will induce EMF

So here we can

EMF = \frac{d\phi}{dt}

now we have

EMF = \pi r^2\frac{dB}{dt}

now we also know that induced EMF is given by

\int E. dL = \pi r^2\frac{dB}[dt}

E (2\pi r) = \pi r^2\frac{dB}{dt}

E = \frac{r}{2}(\frac{dB}{dt})

now plug in all values in it

E = \frac{0.0133}{2}(0.12 t)

E = 8 \times 10^{-4} (2.50) = 2 \times 10^{-3} V/m
