A 1.50 m cylinder of radius 1.10 cm is made of a complicated mixture of materials. Its resistivity depends on the distance x fro

m the left end and obeys the formula rho( x ) = a + bx^2, where a and b are constants. At the left end, the resistivity is 2.25 10^-8 Omega*m, while at the right end it is 8.50 x 10^-8 Omega*m.
What is the resistance of this rod?

What is the electric field at its midpoint if it carries a 1.75 A current?

If we cut the rod into two 75.0 cm halves, what is the resistance of each half?

I have solved parts A and B by doing the following:
A) R = ρL/A First I found the constants a and b by solving for them, which I found to be: a = 2.25x10^-8 Ωm b = 2.78x10^-8 Ωm A = πr^2 A = 3.8013x10-4 m2 Taking the integral of the Resistance equation gave me: 1/A*(ax + bx3/3) I then took the integral from 0 to 1.50m, thereby giving me: (1/3.801299x10-4)*3.38x10-8*1.50 + 2.78x10-8*1.53/3 = 1.71x10-4 This I know to be correct.
B) ∫E.dl = V dV/dx = d/dx(IR) 1.75/A*(a + bx2) Plugging in 0.75 for x gave me E = 1.76x10^-4 V/m This is also correct
C) This is where I'm stuck. I had thought that if I used the integral in part A to find the integral from 0 to 0.75 then that would be my resistance in the left hand side. Then I thought that I could subtract the left hand value from the value I found in part A to give me the right hand value, but this hasn't worked. My workings are as follow: R = ρL/A A = 3.8x10^-4 m2 Rleft hand1/A*(2.25x10^-8)(0.75) + (2.78x10^-8)(0.75^3/3) = 4.43966x10^-5 Then Rright hand = 1.71x10^-4 - 4.43966x10^-5 = 1.266x10^-4

200 Coulombs of charge passes through a point in a circuit for 0.6 minutes. what is the magnitude of the current flowing​
Tasya [4]

Answer:

5.56 A

Explanation:

From the question,

Q = it.............. Equation 1

Where Q = charges, i = current, t = time.

Make i the subject of the equation

i = Q/t.............. Equation 2

Given: Q = 200 coulombs, t = 0.6 minutes = (0.6×60) seconds

Substitite these values into equation 2

i = 200/(0.6×60)

i = 5.56 A

Hence the magnitude of the current flowing through the circuit is 5.56 A

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:In Mendel's time, many people thought that offspring inherited a combination of traits from their parents. For example, they thought that an animal with white fur and an animal with black fur would produce pups with gray fur. This is called the theory of combined inheritance. How did Mendel show that the combination theory was wrong?
