A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor

Physics
1 answer:
In-s [12.5K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A

Explain Alfred wegener's hypothesis
grandymaker [24]
He proposed the theory of Continental Drift. He believed that all of the continents were once joined together in a super continent he called Pangea (not sure if that's spelled right I studied this awhile ago). He proved this by showing similarities in fossils in completely different continents and showing how well the continents could fit together.

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

<em>a) 318.2 W/m^2</em>

<em>b) 2.5 x 10^-4 J</em>

<em>c) 1.55 x 10^-8 v/m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Power of laser P = 1 mW = 1 x 10^-3 W

exposure time t = 250 ms = 250 x 10^-3 s

If beam diameter = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

then

cross-sectional area of beam A = \pi d^{2} /4 = (3.142 x (2*10^{-3} )^{2})/4

A = 3.142 x 10^-6 m^2

a) Intensity I = P/A

where P is the power of the laser

A is the cros-sectional area of the beam

I = ( 1 x 10^-3)/(3.142 x 10^-6) = <em>318.2 W/m^2</em>

<em></em>

b) Total energy delivered E = Pt

where P is the power of the beam

t is the exposure time

E = 1 x 10^-3 x 250 x 10^-3 = <em>2.5 x 10^-4 J</em>

<em></em>

c) The peak electric field is given as

E = \sqrt{2I/ce_{0} }

where I is the intensity of the beam

E is the electric field

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

e_{0} = 8.85 x 10^9 m kg s^-2 A^-2

E = \sqrt{2*318.2/3*10^8*8.85*10^9}  = <em>1.55 x 10^-8 v/m</em>

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

50 W

Explanation:

Case 1

Power = V * I

100 = 220 * I

I = \frac{100}{220} A

Case 2

P = V * I

P = 110 * \frac{100}{220}

P = 50 W

I think the answer is 50 W

Hope it helps
