Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation:

The challenging part in this circuit is the bridged setup (diamond-shaped arrangement made of the 4 Ohm resistors). In general, this would first need to be transformed using the Wye-Delta transform to be solved, but in this case we can make a valid simplification: since the diamond arrangement is completely symmetrical, the voltage at the top and the bottom tip of the "diamond" will be identical and no current flows through the 4 Ohm bridge, hence, this resistor can be removed without changing the resulting resistance. After this, it is easy to see that the equivalent resistance of the modified "diamond" is just 4 Ohms.

The remaining top parallel branch of the circuit will be 8 Ohms, and the bottom parallel branch is nominally 8 Ohms. The resulting resistance therefore is 4 Ohms.

(The answer is not 2 Ohms!)

A uniformly charged solid disk of radius R = 0.45 m carries a uniform charge density of σ = 175 μC/m². A point P is located a di

Answer:

1408.685 KN/C

Explanation:

Given:

R = 0.45 m

σ = 175 μC/m²

P is located a distance a = 0.75 m

k = 8.99*10^9

The Electric Field Strength E of a uniformly solid disk of charge at distance a perpendicular to disk is given by:

$E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + R^2} })\\$

part a)

Electric Field strength at point P: a = 0.75 m

$E = 2*pi*8.99*10^9*175*10^-6 * (1 - \frac{0.75}{\sqrt{0.75^2 + 0.45^2} })\\\\E = 9885021.285*(0.1425070743)\\\\E = 1408.685 KN/C$

part b)

Since, R >> a, we can approximate a / R = 0 ,

Hence, E simplified relation becomes:

$E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a/R}{\sqrt{a^2/R^2 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{0}{\sqrt{0 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o$

E = σ / 2*e_o

part c)

Since, a >> R, we can approximate. that the uniform disc of charge becomes a single point charge:

Electric Field strength due to point charge is:

E = k*δ*pi*R^2 / a^2

Since, R << a, Surface area = δ*pi

Hence,

E = (k*δ*pi/a^2)

Describe a situation in your everyday life where you could use the scientific method. List all the steps of the scientific metho

emmainna [20.7K]

Yes, scientific method can be applied on many everyday activities to get a reasonable solution. Infact normally we are applying this method without having it in our knowledge that we are applying it.

For example: In morning we are going to office and we start the car, but it is not started.You turn the engine again and again but it simply donot works.

Observation (the state of defining a problem):

The car is not started

Hypothesis (A possible solution based on the information we already know):

The car is not started because it might be out of gas or there can be some other technical fault.

Experiment (testing of hypothesis by applying different methods of solving problem):

You get the fuel and put it inside the car but it still donot works and car didnot start. Experiment didnot get solution.

Analyze the results of data and test another hypothesis

You call a technician and he check with the car engine tries and finds out that the engine was out of order and needs repairing.

Draw conclusion:

The engine do not works when it is out of order and it is a cause of a car not being started.

<em>Now the theory and law making part can not be applied on this case but it is a part of scientific method.</em>

Hope it helps!
