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

Answer:

the magnetic field is leaving the sheet

Explanation:

The magnetic force is given by the expression

        F = q v x B

where bold letters indicate vectors, the modulus of this expression is

       F = q v B sin θ

the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule, for a positive charge

the thumb indicates the direction of the speed, in this case from right to left

the palm the direction of the force, in our case upwards

the fingers extended the direction of the magnetic field, this case after fixing the other two components it points out of the blade

In short the magnetic field is leaving the sheet

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

e. Not enough information to determine

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question with my solution afterwards;

A ladybug sits at the outer edge of a turntable, and a gentleman bug sits halfway between her and the axis of rotation. The turntable (initially at rest) begins to rotate with its rate of rotation constantly increasing.

What is the first event that will occur?(Assume non-zero frictional force and the same coefficients of friction for both bugs.)

a. The ladybug begins to slide

b. The gentleman bug begins to slide

c. Both bugs begin to slide at the same time

d. Nothing ever happens

e. Not enough information to determine

The centripetal force acting on a rotating body or bugs can be written as,

F=mrw^2

m= mass of the corresponding bugs

r= corresponding radial distance of each bug

w= angular speed of the turntable

The centripetal force tries to slide the bugs in an outward direction and it is directly proportional to the products of its mass and radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable

F ∝ mr

Since the radial distance from the axis of rotation of the turntable for each bug is given, but the mass is not given, the given information is therefore not enough to determine which bugs will slide first.

Option "e" is correct.

Which substance is a combination of different atoms? homogeneous mixture,heterogeneous mixture,element,compound
Aleks04 [339]
Hi

only compound must two different atom.

Element have made by only single atom.
_________________________________
Compound:
A compound is formed when two or more elements chemically combine together. The elements react chemically and form chemical bonds between the atoms of the elements.

A mixture is a combination of two or more substances which are not chemically the same. ____________________________________
Homogeneous mixtures:
Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition and appearance throughout .A homogeneous mixture is also called a true solution.
Example: sugar solution, ocean water, soft drinks, etc.
____________________________________
Heterogeneous mixtures:
Heterogeneous mixtures consist of different substances.
Examples: mixture of iron and sulphur, mixture of sand and table salt, etc.


so only elements are single atom.

all these are combination of atoms.

thanks for asking
