You have 10 ohm and a 100 ohm resistor in parallel. You place this equivalent resistance in series with an LED, which is rated t

o have a voltage drop of 1.83V at 20mA. What voltage should you connect to this circuit to provide 20mA of current for the LED? What would the current be, if you connected to a 3V battery? Draw all of these diagrams before attempting the calculations.

Answer:

Approximately \rm 2.0\; V.

Approximately \rm 30 \; mA. (assumption: the LED here is an Ohmic resistor.)

Explanation:

The two resistors here R_1= 10\; \Omega and R_2= 100\; \Omega are connected in parallel. Their effective resistance would be equal to

\displaystyle \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{R_1} + \dfrac{1}{R_2}} = \frac{1}{\dfrac{1}{10} + \dfrac{1}{100}} = \frac{10}{11} \; \Omega.

The current in a serial circuit is supposed to be the same everywhere. In this case, the current through the LED should be 20\; \rm mA = 0.020\; \rm A. That should also be the current through the effective \displaystyle \rm \frac{10}{11} \; \Omega resistor. Make sure all values are in standard units. The voltage drop across that resistor would be

V = I \cdot R = 0.020 \times \dfrac{10}{11} \approx 0.182\; \rm V.

The voltage drop across the entire circuit would equal to

  • the voltage drop across the resistors, plus
  • the voltage drop across the LED.

In this case, that value would be equal to 1.83 + 0.182 \approx 2.0\; \rm V. That's the voltage that needs to be supplied to the circuit to achieve a current of 20\; \rm mA through the LED.

Assuming that the LED is an Ohmic resistor. In other words, assume that its resistance is the same for all currents. Calculate its resistance:

\displaystyle R(\text{LED}) = \frac{V(\text{LED})}{I(\text{LED})}= \frac{1.83}{0.020} \approx 91.5\; \Omega.

The resistance of a serial circuit is equal to the resistance of its parts. In this case,

\displaystyle R = R(\text{LED}) + R(\text{Resistors}) = 91.5 + \frac{10}{11} \approx 100\; \Omega.

Again, the current in a serial circuit is the same in all appliances.

\displaystyle I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{3}{100} \approx 0.030\; \rm A = 30\; mA.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Frequency is <u>the number of waves</u> that move past a point during a specific amount of time. Frequency is measured in <u>Hertz</u>, and is classified as high, medium, or low. Frequency is interpreted as the <u>pitch</u> of a sound. Intensity refers to the <u>loudness</u> of a sound and is measured in <u>decibels</u>. Louder sounds <u>increase</u> the rate of nerve signals relayed to the brain.

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin  atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn,  causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

The temperature of air changes from 0 to 10°C while its velocity changes from zero to a final velocity, and its elevation change
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Final velocity = 119.83 m/s

Final elevation = 731.9 m

Explanation:

We are told that temperature of air changes from 0 to 10°C

Thus;

Change in temperature; ΔT = 10 - 0 = 10°C

Also, its velocity changes from zero to a final velocity. Thus;

v1 = 0 m/s

v2 is unknown

Also, its elevation changes from zero to a final elevation.

So, z1 = 0 and z2 is unknown

Now, we want to find v2 and z2 when the internal, kinetic and potential energy are equal.

Thus Equating the formula for both kinetic and internal energy gives;

½m(v2² - v1²) = mc_v•ΔT

m will cancel out and v1 is zero to give;

v2² = 2c_v•ΔT

v2 = √(2c_v•ΔT)

Where c_v is specific heat of constant volume of air with a constant value of 718 J/Kg.K

Thus;

v2 = √(2 × 718 × 10)

v2 = √14360

v2 = 119.83 m/s

To find z2, we will equate potential energy formula to that of the internal energy.

Thus;

mg(z2 - z1) = mc_v•ΔT

m will cancel out and since z1 is zero, then we have;

z2 = (c_v•ΔT)/g

z2 = 718 × 10/9.81

z2 = 731.9 m
