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
Answer:
1000 N
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two charged object is given by
where
k is the Coulomb constant
q1, q2 is the magnitude of the two charges
r is the distance between the two objects
Moreover, the force is:
- Attractive if the two forces have opposite sign
- Repulsive if the two forces have same sign
In this problem:
are the two charges
r = 3000 m is their separation
Therefore, the electric force between the charges is:
