"How do changes in voltage or resistance affect current in an electric circuit?"

Physics
1 answer:
kicyunya [14]3 years ago
5 0
We can answer the question by looking at the Ohm's law, which gives us the relationship between voltage (V), current (I) and resistance (R) of a circuit:
V=IR
equivalently, we can rewrite it as
I= \frac{V}{R}

by looking at the equation, we can make the following observations:
1) The current is proportional to the voltage: therefore, if the voltage increases, the current increases as well; if the voltage decreases, the current decreases too.
2) The current is inversely proportional to the resistance: if the resistance increases, the current decreases, and if the resistance decreases, the current increases.

2. A small piece of dust is located in between two oppositely charged parallel plates where there exists a uniform electric fiel
Alla [95]

Answer:

a

The total charge is q = 1.6*10^{-4}C

b

The change in potential energy is \Delta U = -4*10^{-2}J

c

The height is  h= 8.2cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that the

       The magnitude of electric field is E = 5000N/C

        The number of proton is  N_p = 1*10^{15}

        The distance between the plates is  d = 5cm = \frac{5}{100} = 0.05m

The total charge can be mathematically represented as

            q = N_p * e

Where e is the charge on one proton which has a value of =1.6*10^{-19}C

      Substituting values

           q = 1 *10^{15} * 1.6*10^{-19} = 1.6 *10^{-4}C

The change in potential energy is mathematically represented ads

         \Delta U = -(qE)d

where the negative sign shows that the work done by the electric force is against the electric field

                Substituting values

         \Delta U = - 1.6*10^{-4} * 5000 * 0.05

                = -4*10^{-2}J

 

   The mass of the bead is given as 0.05kg

  The change in potential due to gravity is mathematically given as

                    \Delta U = -mgh

the negative sign is  due to the fact that the height is decreasing

And g =9.8m/s^2

                  Making h the subject

        h = \frac{\Delta U}{mg}

Substituting values

                 h = \frac{4*10^{-2}}{0.05 * 9.8}

                   =0.081m = 0.082 *100 = 8.2cm

Hermann von Helmholtz said that one hears different pitches because different sound waves trigger activity at different places a
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Place theory.

Explanation:

Place theory explains the different perception of sounds on the basis of the different sound waves. This theory helps to explain how the individual can differentiate different pitch sounds.

The different sound frequency causes vibration at the basilar membrane of the cochlea. The different areas of cochlear membrane gets activated by the different frequency of sound. These different vibration enable to distinguish between high pitch and low pitch sounds.

Thus, the answer is place theory.
