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.

The index of refraction of silicate flint glass for red light is 1.620 and for violet light is 1.660 . A beam of white light in
Sonja [21]

Answer:

10.16 degrees

Explanation:

Apply Snells Law for both wavelenghts

\(n_{1}sin\theta_{1} = n_{2}sin\theta_{2}\)

For red

(1.620)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin r)

For red, the angle is 35.45degrees

For violet

(1.660)(sin 25.5) = (1)(sin v)

For violet, the angle is 45.6 degrees

The difference is 45.6- 35.45 = 10.16 degrees

Initial velocity 10 m/s accelerates at 5 m/s for 2 seconds whats the final velocity
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

<em>The final velocity is 20 m/s.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Constant Acceleration Motion</u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, and t the time, the final speed can be calculated as follows:

v_f=v_o+at

The provided data is: vo=10 m/s, a=5\ m/s^2, t=2 s. The final velocity is:

v_f=10~m/s+5\ m/s^2\cdot 2\ s

v_f=20\ m/s

The final velocity is 20 m/s.
