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 nuclear explosion may release tremendous amounts of energy in the form of noise, heat, visible light, radiation and an atmosph
posledela

light and radiation is able to experience by an observer watching the explosion from the vacuum.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Basically in the nuclear explosion, there will be an enormous of energy released as noise, heat, visible light, radiation and atmospheric wave.
  • Usually sound and wave propagate through medium but in vacuum, there will be no medium to transfer this type of energy. so there is no chance of sound and wave transfer.  
  • Light and radiation travel in vacuum because they didn't need the medium to transfer .
