A 5.0-V battery is places in series with two 1.25-Ω resistors. Determine the current through each resistor.
1 answer:
Answer:
Current through each resistor is 2 A.
Explanation:
Given that,
Voltage of a battery, V = 5 volts
Resistance 1, R = 1.25 ohms
Resistance 2,R' = 1.25 ohms
Both resistors are connected in series. The equivalent resistance is given by :
R" = R + R'
R" = 1.25 + 1.25
R" = 2.5 ohms
The current flowing throughout all resistors is same in series combination of resistors. Current can be calculated using Ohm's law as :
I = 2 A
So, the current through each resistor is 2 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

To solve this problem we will apply the principle of conservation of energy. For this purpose, potential energy is equivalent to kinetic energy, and this clearly depends on the position of the body. In turn, we also note that the height traveled is twice that of the rigid rod, therefore applying these concepts we will have
Therefore the minimum speed at the bottom is required to make the ball go over the top of the circle is 4.67m/s
