If a voltmeter has a less than ideal resistance, say 1 MΩ, and is used to measure the voltage across a resistor of a comparable
Naddik [55]

Answer:

As the difference between the resistance of voltmeter and the resistance being measured gets reduced the error in the reading of the voltmeter gets increased.

Explanation:

An ideal voltmeter has infinite parallel resistance and because of this it doesn't draw any current from the circuit of measurement which means it will measure the exact voltage across the elements.

But practically speaking, a real voltmeter doesn't has infinite resistance therefore, all the practical voltmeters face loading effect to some extent.

As the difference between the resistance of voltmeter and the resistance being measured gets reduced the error in the reading of the voltmeter gets increased. This is why we want to have a greater value of voltmeter resistance, ideally infinite so that the corresponding error is minimized.

Lets consider the given scenario,

A voltmeter has 1 MΩ parallel resistance and the resistance of of measuring element is 500 kΩ or 0.5 MΩ

lets suppose the supplied voltage is 1 V.

First lets assume that the voltmeter is ideal and it has infinite resistance, so in this case voltmeter will measure a voltage of 1 V across the 0.5 MΩ resistor.

Now consider the loading effect, when we connect the voltmeter across the 0.5 MΩ resistor they both become parallel so the resistance is

R = (1*0.5)/(1+0.5)

R = 0.33 MΩ

As you can see the voltmeter will see a reduced resistance and the corresponding voltage also reduces because resistance and voltage are directly proportional.

Therefore, it is preferred to have a very high parallel resistance of the voltmeter.

If it takes 200 joules of energy to lift a bucket of water 3 meters in 2 seconds, how much power would be required to do the sam
Harlamova29_29 [7]

200 joules of work energy are involved.  That's all we need to know to answer the question.  Once we know that 200 joules of work energy are involved, we don't care what was lifted, or how far, or how long it took, or how many people worked on it, or how much they were paid, or what was the distribution of their gender identities, or the ethnic diversity among the team. or what day each of them celebrates as their sabbath.  Any other information besides the 200 joules is only there to distract us, and see whether we're paying attention.

Power = (work or energy) / (time to do the work or move the energy)

Power = (200 joules) / (5 seconds)

<em>Power = 40 watts</em>

The bar graph shows energy data taken from a roller coaster at a theme park. Analyze the data and assess its validity. In 3–5 se
alexdok [17]

The data given in the bar graph is valid because it follows the law of conservation of energy, since the GPE at top of 2nd hill plus KE at top of 2nd hill equals KE at bottom of 1st hill.

<h3>What is law of conservation of energy?</h3>

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be transformed from one form to another.

Based on the law of conservation of energy, kinetic energy of a roller coaster can be converted into potential energy of the roller coaster and vice versa.

ΔK.E = ΔP.E

where;

  • ΔK.E is change in kinetic energy
  • ΔP.E is change in potential energy

The kinetic energy of the coaster is greatest at the bottom of the hill, as the coaster moves upward, the kinetic energy decreases and will be converted into potential energy. The potential energy of the coaster increases as the coaster moves up the hill and will become maximum at the highest point of the hill.

From the given data;

GPE at top of 2nd hill + KE at top of 2nd hill = KE at bottom of 1st hill
