A simple circuit consists of a light bulb connected to the terminals of a battery. A voltmeter shows a potential difference of 1

8.5 V across the light bulb, whereas an ammeter registers a current of 0.485 A in the circuit. Determine the resistance of the bulb.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

38.14Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let's solve this question using Ohm's law which states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference or voltage (V) across it. Mathematically;

V =  I R       -------------------(i)

<em>Where</em>;

R is the constant of proportionality called resistance of the conductor and is measured in Ohms (Ω)

<em>From the question;</em>

V = 18.5V

I = 0.485A

<em>Substitute these  values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

18.5 = 0.485 x R

<em>Solve for R;</em>

R = 18.5 / 0.485

R = 38.14Ω

Therefore the resistance of the bulb is 38.14Ω

A 5c charge experiences a force of 40n when put at a certain location in space. What is the electric field at that location?
stepladder [879]
The 'strength' of the electric field is the force on 1C of charge at that point.

At this 'certain location', the field is 40/5 = 8 newtons per coulomb = <u>8 volts</u>

Answer:

F_a_v_g=7093333.33N*s

Explanation:

The impulse or average force in classical mechanics is the variation in the linear momentum that a physical object experiences in a closed system. It is defined by the following equation:

F_a_v_g=m*\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=m*\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}

Where:

m=mass\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}object

v_2=final\hspace{3}velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}object\hspace{3}at\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}end\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}time\hspace{3}interval

v_1=initial\hspace{3}velocity\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}object\hspace{3}when\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}time\hspace{3}interval\hspace{3}begins.

t_2=final\hspace{3}time

t_1=initial\hspace{3}time

Asumming v1=0 and t1=0:

F_a_v_g=m* \frac{v_2}{t_2} =(24.7)*\frac{784}{2.73*10^{*3} } =7093333.333N*s
