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

1 answer:

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.

An upright object 2.80 cm tall is placed 16.0 cm away from the vertex of a concave mirror with a center of curvature of 24.0 cm.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

f = 12 cm

Explanation:

Center of Curvature:

The center of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Center of Curvature’ of mirror.

The Radius of Curvature:

The radius of that hollow sphere, whose part is the spherical mirror, is known as the ‘Radius of Curvature’ of mirror. It is the distance from pole to the center of curvature.

Focal Length:

The distance between principal focus and pole is called ‘Focal Length’. It is denoted by ‘F’.

The focal length of the spherical (concave) mirror is approximately equal to half of the radius of curvature:

$f = \frac{R}{2}$

where,

f = focal length = ?

R = Radius of curvature = 24 cm

Therefore,

$f = \frac{24\ cm}{2}$

f = 12 cm

A 790kg car moving at 7 m/s takes a turn around a circle with a radius of 20 m. Determined the net force (in Newton’s) acting up

prisoha [69]

1935.5 N is the "net force" acting on a car.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car is 790 kg.

Velocity of the car is 7 m/s. (v)

It turned around with 20 m. (r)

We know that, Net force = m × a

$\text { Here, acceleration of the car is radial acceleration } a_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{v^{2}}{r}$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{7^{2}}{20}$

$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{rad}}=\frac{49}{20}$

$a_{\text {rad }}=2.45 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$

Now, Net force = m × a

Net force = 790 × 2.45

Net force = 1935.5 N

What Converts sound to a signal in a telephone

Irina-Kira [14]

The part you talk into, that converts the sound of your voice
into an electrical signal, is a tiny microphone.

-- The sound waves from your voice are ripples in the air.

-- In most microphones, there's a tiny coil of wire hanging
between the ends of a tiny magnet.

-- When the ripples in the air hit the little coil of wire, they
make it vibrate (wiggle) slightly.

-- When a coil of wire wiggles in the field of a magnet,
a current flows in the wire.

There's your electrical signal !
