What is the resistance in a circuit that carries a 0.75 A current when powered by a 1.5 V battery?

2 answers:

8 0

The formula to use is: I = ( ΔV / R )
Once you solve for R, your new formula would be: R= ( ΔV / I )
Plug in your values to get: R = (1.5V / .75A )
Finally, R = 2Ω

Answer : The resistance in the circuit is, 2 ohm

Solution : Given,

Voltage = 1.5 V

Current in the circuit = 0.75 A

According to the Ohm's law, the current passing through the conductor is directly proportional to the voltage and is inversely proportional to the resistance.

Formula used :

$V=I\times R$

where,

V = voltage

I = electric current

R = resistance

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

$1.5V=(0.75A)\times R$

$R=2ohm$

Therefore, the resistance in the circuit is, 2 ohm

An accelerating voltage

ki77a [65]

Accelerating voltage is the difference in potential between the filament and the anode,and it can be varied between 5 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-500 and between 2 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-450. As the voltage is increased, the electrons travel with higher velocity and are more energetic.

How do you find the voltage of a section of a parallel circuit?

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer: Voltage is the same across each component of the parallel circuit. The sum of the currents through each path is equal to the total current that flows from the source. You can find total resistance in a Parallel circuit with the following formula: 1/Rt = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 +.

Hope this helps!

Which best describes a value for density

scoray [572]

Density can be any number, as long as it has the right units.

A unit of density has to be (a unit of mass) divided by (a unit of volume).
The most common one is gram/cm^3.

A river flows due east at 1.60 m/s. A boat crosses the river from the south shore to the north shore by maintaining a constant v

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

part (a) $v\ =\ 10.42\ at\ 81.17^o$ towards north east direction.

part (b) s = 46.60 m

Explanation:

Given,

velocity of the river due to east = $v_r\ =\ 1.60\ m/s.$
velocity of the boat due to the north = $v_b\ =\ 10.3\ m/s.$

part (a)

River is flowing due to east and the boat is moving in the north, therefore both the velocities are perpendicular to each other and,

Hence the resultant velocity i,e, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore is in the North east direction. velocities are the vector quantities, Hence the resultant velocity is the vector addition of these two velocities and the angle between both the velocities are $90^o$

Let 'v' be the velocity of the boat relative to the shore.

$\therefore v\ =\ \sqrt{v_r^2\ +\ v_b^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ \sqrt{1.60^2\ +\ 10.3^2}\\\Rightarrow v\ =\ 10.42\ m/s.$

Let $\theta$ be the angle of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore with the horizontal axis.

Direction of the velocity of the boat relative to the shore. $\therefore Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{v_b}{v_r}\\\Rightarrow Tan\theta\ =\ \dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ Tan^{-1}\left (\dfrac{10.3}{1.60}\ \right )\\\Rightarrow \theta\ =\ 81.17^o$

part (b)

Width of the shore = w = 300m

total distance traveled in the north direction by the boat is equal to the product of the velocity of the boat in north direction and total time taken

Let 't' be the total time taken by the boat to cross the width of the river. $\therefore w\ =\ v_bt\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{w}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ \dfrac{300}{10.3}\\\Rightarrow t\ =\ 29.12 s$

Therefore the total distance traveled in the direction of downstream by the boat is equal to the product of the total time taken and the velocity of the river $\therefore s\ =\ u_rt\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 1.60\times 29.12\\\Rightarrow s\ =\ 46.60\ m$
