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)

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Diameter $d=40\ m$

radius $r=20\ m$

From diagram, at top point

If Normal force is equal to Gravitational force

$N=mg$

where N=normal reaction

m=mass of car

Normal reaction will provide centripetal force

$N=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

thus

$\frac{mv^2}{r}=mg$

$v=\sqrt{2gr}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 20}$

$v=19.79\ m/s$
