<h2>Answer:</h2>
0.46Ω
<h2>Explanation:</h2>The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;
E = V + Ir --------------------(a)
Where;
I = current flowing through the circuit
But;
V = I x Rₓ ---------------------(b)
Where;
Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.
<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>
The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.
Let;
R₁ = resistance in the first bulb
R₂ = resistance in the second bulb
Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;
P =
=> R = -------------------(ii)
Where;
P = Power of the bulb
V = voltage across the bulb
R = resistance of the bulb
To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;
R₁ = --------------------------------(iii)
Where;
V = 12.0V
P = 4.0W
Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;
R₁ =
R₁ =
R₁ = 36Ω
Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;
R₂ = --------------------------------(iv)
Where;
V = 12.0V
P = 4.0W
Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;
R₂ =
R₂ =
R₂ = 36Ω
Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;
=
+
-----------------(v)
Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;
=
+
=
Rₓ =
Rₓ = 18Ω
The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω
<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>
Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;
11.7 = I x 18
I =
I = 0.65A
<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>
Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A into equation (a) as follows;
12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r
0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7
0.65r = 0.3
r =
r = 0.46Ω
Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω
Answer:
T = 2.83701481512 seconds
Explanation:
Hi!
The formula that you will want to use to solve this question is:
T--> period
L --> length of the pendulum
g --> acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2)
since we know that the mass of the bob at the end of the pendulum does not affect the period of the pendulum, we can go ahead and ignore that bit of information (unless, of course, the weight causes the pendulum to stretch)
so now we can plug in our given info into the formula above and solve!
T = 2*pi * sqrt(2/9.8)
T = 2.83701481512 seconds
*Note*
- I used 3.14 to pi, if you need to use a different value for pi (a longer version, etc) your answer will be slightly different
I hope this helped!
