There is a current of 0.83 A through a lightbulb in a 120 V circuit. What is the resistance of this lightbulb?
Lemur [1.5K]

Considering the Ohm's law, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

<h3>Definition of current</h3>

The flow of electricity through an object, such as a wire, is known as current (I). Its unit of measure is amps (A). So the current is a measure of the speed at which the charge passes a given reference point in a specified direction.

<h3>Definition of voltage</h3>

The driving force (electrical pressure) behind the flow of a current is known as voltage and is measured in volts (V) (voltage can also be referred to as the potential difference or electromotive force). That is, voltage is a measure of the work required to move a charge from one point to another.

<h3>Definition of resistance</h3>

Resistance (R) is the difficulty that a circuit opposes to the flow of a current and it is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Ohm's law</h3>

Ohm's law establishes the relationship between current, voltage, and resistance in an electrical circuit.

This law establishes that the intensity of the current that passes through a circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the same and inversely proportional to the resistance that it presents.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is expressed as:

I=\frac{V}{R}

Where:

  • I is the current measured in amps (A).
  • V the voltage measured in volts (V).
  • R the resistance that is measured in ohms (Ω).

<h3>Resistance of the lightbulb</h3>

In this case, you know that the voltage between two points in a circuit is 120 V and there is a current of 0.83 A.

Replacing in the Ohm's Law:

0.83A=\frac{120 V}{R}

Solving:

0.83 A× R=  120 V

R=\frac{120 V}{0.83A}

<u><em>R= 144.58 Ω</em></u>

Finally, the resistance of the lightbulb is 144.58 Ω.

Two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide. What kind of
erica [24]

When two mechanical waves that have positive displacements from the equilibrium position meet and coincide, a constructive interference occurs.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Considering the principle of superposition of waves; the resultant amplitude of an output wave due to interference of two or more waves at any point is given by individual addition of their amplitudes at that point. Two waves with positive displacements refer to the fact that crest of the both the waves are on the same side of displacement axis, either both are positive or both are negative, similarly with their troughs.

If such two waves with their crest on crest meet at any point, by superposition principle. their individual amplitude gets added up and hence the resultant wave after interference is greater in amplitude that both the individual waves. This is termed as a constructive interference. Destructive interference on the other hand is a condition when one of the two waves has a positive displacement and other has a negative displacement (a condition of one’s crest on other’s trough); resulting in amplitude subtraction.
