The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.

If you connected 10 of these 12V (10 W) lamps in parallel, to the 12V source, how much current would the source have to supply

Flauer [41]

Answer:

$T=8.33A$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Number of battery $n=10$

Voltage source $E=12V$

Lamp Power $P=10W$

Generally the equation for Resistance is mathematically given by

$R=\frac{V^2}{P}$

$R=\frac{12^2}{10}$

$R=14.4ohms$

Therefore

$R_{eq}=\frac{14.4}{10}$

$R_{eq}=1.44$

Generally the equation for Current is mathematically given by

$T=\ffrac{V}{Req}$

$T=\frac{12}{1.44}$

$T=8.33A$

Three point charges are arranged along the x-axis. Charge q1 = +3.00 uC is at the origin, and charge q2= -5.00 uC is at x= 0.200

artcher [175]

We have all the charges for q1, q2, and q3.
Since k = 8.988x10^2, and N=m^2/c^2

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)

F(2on1) = k |q1 q2| / r(the distance between the two)^2
k^ | 3x10^-6 x -5 x 10^-6 | / (.2m)^2
F(2on1) = 3.37 N

Since F1 is 7N,

F(1) = F (2on1) + F (3on1)
7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)

Since it wil be going in the negative direction,
-7N = 3.37 N + F (3on1)
F(3on1) = -10.37N

F(3on1) = k |q1 q3| / r(the distance between the two)^2
r^2 x F(3on1) = k |q1 q3|
r = sqrt of k |q1 q3| / F(3on1)
= .144 m (distance between q1 and q3)
0 - .144m

So it's located in -.144m
