Two identical resistors are connected in parallel across a 26-V battery, which supplies them with a total power of 7.1 W. While

the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated so that its resistance doubles. The resistance of the other resistor remains unchanged. Find (a) the initial resistance of each resistor, and (b) the total power delivered to the resistors after one resistor has been heated.

Answer:

A) R = 190.42 Ω

B) P = 5.325 W

Explanation:

We are given;

Total power;P_tot = 7.1 W

Voltage;V = 26 V

A)We are told that while the battery is still connected, one of the resistors is heated, so that its resistance doubles.

Thus, the power is doubled.

Now, formula for power is;

P = IV

Thus, since power is doubled, we have;

P = 2(IV)

Now, formula for current is; I = V/R

So, P = 2V²/R

Making R the subject, we have;

R = 2V²/P

In this question, P is p_total = 7.1 W

Thus;

R = (2 × 26²)/7.1

R = 190.42 Ω

B) Now, the resistance of the resistors are R and 2R.

Formula for power in this context is;

P = V²/R

Thus,

Total power delivered to the resistors is;

P = V²/R + V²/2R

P = 3V²/2R

P = (3 × 26²)/(2 × 190.42)

P = 5.325 W

PLEASE PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION.<br><br> THANKS!!!

Answer:

(a) A = 0.0800 m, λ = 20.9 m, f = 11.9 Hz

(b) 250 m/s

(c) 1250 N

(d) Positive x-direction

(e) 6.00 m/s

(f) 0.0365 m

Explanation:

(a) The standard form of the wave is:

y = A cos ((2πf) t ± (2π/λ) x)

where A is the amplitude, f is the frequency, and λ is the wavelength.

If the x term has a positive coefficient, the wave moves to the left.

If the x term has a negative coefficient, the wave moves to the right.

Therefore:

A = 0.0800 m

2π/λ = 0.300 m⁻¹

λ = 20.9 m

2πf = 75.0 rad/s

f = 11.9 Hz

(b) Velocity is wavelength times frequency.

v = λf

v = (20.9 m) (11.9 Hz)

v = 250 m/s

(c) The tension is:

T = v²ρ

where ρ is the mass per unit length.

T = (250 m/s)² (0.0200 kg/m)

T = 1250 N

(d) The x term has a negative coefficient, so the wave moves to the right (positive x-direction).

(e) The maximum transverse speed is Aω.

(0.0800 m) (75.0 rad/s)

6.00 m/s

(f) Plug in the values and find y.

y = (0.0800 m) cos((75.0 rad/s) (2.00 s) − (0.300 m⁻¹) (1.00 m))

y = 0.0365 m
