A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 2 A. The current is reduced to 1.5 A when an additional 1.6 Ω resistor is

added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? Assume the internal resistance of the source of emf is zero. Answer in units of Ω.

Answer:

4.8 Ω

Explanation:

From Ohm's Law,

Using,

I = E/(R+r)................. Equation 1

E = I(R+r)................. Equation 2

Where I = current, E = emf, R = external resistance, r = internal resistance

Given: I = 2 A, R = R1, r = 0 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

E = 2(R1)

E = 2R1.

When an additional 1.6 Ω  resistor is added in series,

E = 1.5(R1+1.6)

2R1 = 1.5R1+2.4

2R1-1.5R1 = 2.4

0.5R1 = 2.4

R1 = 2.4/0.5

R1 = 4.8 Ω

Answer:

R1 = 4.8Ω

Explanation:

The loop circuit has an initial voltage of  V = IR

I = 2 A , R1 = R

V = 2R1

with the current reduced to 1.5A with an additional 1.6Ω resistor

the total resistance of the circuit is 1.6 + R1

the voltage of the two scenarios has to be equal , since the same voltage flows through the circuit

therefore V = 2R1

from Ohms law V = IR

2R1= 1.5 (1.6 + R1)

2R1 = 2.4 + 1.5R1

collecting like terms

2R1 - 1.5R1 = 2.4

0.5R1 = 2.4

R1 = \frac{2.4}{0.5}

R1 = 4.8Ω

ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.

Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?
andrezito [222]

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.  

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.  

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.

The barometric pressure in breckenridge, colorado (elevation 9600 feet) is 580 mm hg. how many atmospheres is this?
Maksim231197 [3]

1 atmospheric pressure = 760.0 mm Hg

Thus 580 mm Hg = (580 mm Hg/(760 mm Hg/atm))

= 0.763 atm
