Answer:

<em>-2 units of charge</em>

Explanation:

charge on A = Qa = -6 units

charge on B = Qb = 2 units

if the spheres are brought in contact with each other, the resultant charge will be evenly distributed on the spheres when they are finally separated.

charge on each sphere will be = \frac{Qa + Qb}{2}

charge on each sphere =  \frac{-6 + 2}{2} = \frac{-4}{2} = <em>-2 units of charge</em>

The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.

You obtain a 100-W light bulb and a 50-W light bulb. Instead of connecting them in the normal way, you devise a circuit that pla
lesantik [10]

Answer:

When they are connected in series

     The  50 W bulb glow more than the 100 W bulb

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The power rating  of the first bulb is P_1  = 100 \ W

      The power rating of the second bulb is  P_2  =  50 \ W

     

Generally the power rating of the first bulb is mathematically represented as

      P_1  =  V^2 R

Where  V is the normal household voltage which is constant for both bulbs

  So  

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{P_1 }

substituting values

        R_1  =  \frac{V^2}{100}

Thus the resistance of the second bulb would be evaluated as

       R_2  =  \frac{V^2}{50}

From the above calculation we see that

        R_2  >  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as  

        P_  1  =  I^2_1  R_1

This power rating of the first bulb can also be represented mathematically as    

       P_  2  =  I^2_2 R_2

Now given that they are connected in series which implies that the same current flow through them so

       I_1^2 =  I_2^2

This means  that

       P \ \alpha  \  R

So  when they are connected in series

     P_2  >  P_1

This means that the 50 W bulb glows more than the 100 \ W bulb
