I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.
<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know
V and
I use formula
P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>
The next question is what I'm not sure about:
Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).
What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W
But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."
So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.
P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W
Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:
v=f∧,
where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)
f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.
In our case: f=1/3
∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
Answer:
43.43
Explanation:
5.746 x 7.56 = 43.43976
As the least number of desimal is two so our awnser should contain two digits after the decimal point.
Ans: 43.43.
A wave is basically propagation of disturbances—that is, deviations from a state of rest or equilibrium—from place to place in a regular and organized way. Most familiar are surface waves on water, but both sound and light travel as wavelike disturbances, and the motion of all subatomic particles exhibits wavelike properties.
The two factors are mass and distance between them.
