Which circuit offers the greater resistance to the battery, two bulbs in series or two bulbs in parallel?

1 answer:

7 0

The resistance of two things in series is the SUM of their individual resistances. So the resistance of two bulbs in series is double the resistance of one bulb.

(If they're in parallel, their combined resistance is 1/2 the resistance of one bulb.)

So two bulbs in series is the greater resistance. (a)

It's C because no mass is lost or gained in heating and also lava doesn't burn into smoke, like at all.

A wire carries 3.7 A of current. A second wire is placed parallel to the first 8.0 cm away. What is the current flowing through

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The current in second wire is 5.0 A.

(B) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current in first wire = 3.7 A

Distance = 8.0 cm

We need to calculate the magnetic field due to the current carrying wire

Using formula of magnetic field

$B=\dfrac{\mu_{0}I}{2\pi r}$

Where, I = current

r = distance

Put the value into the formula

For first wire

$B = \dfrac{\mu_{0}\times3.7}{2\pi \times3.4\times10^{-2}}$ ...(I)

For second wire,

The distance is 8-3.7 = 4.3 cm

$B' = \dfrac{\mu_{0}\times I'}{2\pi \times(8-3.4)\times10^{-2}}$ ...(II)

The magnetic field in both the wires,

From equation (I) and (II)

$\dfrac{\mu_{0}\times3.7}{2\pi \times3.4\times10^{-2}}= \dfrac{\mu_{0}\times I'}{2\pi \times(8-3.4)\times10^{-2}}$

$I'=\dfrac{3.7\times4.3\times10^{-2}}{3.4\times10^{-2}}$

$I'=4.68\ A\ approx = 5.0\ A$

Hence, The current in second wire is 5.0 A.

A salt shaker sits 0.102 m from

Ivahew [28]

The maximum speed is 0.55 m/s

Explanation:

For an object in uniform circular motion, the force of friction between the object and the ground provides the centripetal force required to keep the body in motion. Therefore we can write:

$\mu_s mg = m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where the term on the left is the frictional force and the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where

$\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction

m is the mass of the body

g is the gravitational acceleration

v is the speed of the body

r is the radius of the circular path

In this problem, we have:

$\mu_s = 0.307$

r = 0.102 m

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

Substituting and re-arranging, we find the maximum speed v at which the salt shaker can rotate:

$v=\sqrt{\mu gr}=\sqrt{(0.307)(9.8)(0.102)}=0.55 m/s$

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in) and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .
