A simple circuit consists of a 100.-ohm resistor

liberstina [14]3 years ago

If you want to make the total equivalent resistance as small as possible,
then you should connect the new resistor in parallel with the original one. 

When resistors are in parallel, then no matter how many of them there are
or what their individual values are, the total equivalent resistance is always
less than the smallest individual one.

For resistors in parallel .  . .

         (1 / total resistance) = (1/R₁) + (1/R₂) + (1/R₃) + . . . however many there are.

When there are only two resistors in parallel, you can take that formula, stretch it,
massage it, exercise it, manipulate it, and you find that

     Total equivalent resistance = (product of the resistors) / (sum of the resistors) .

With 100 ohms and 25 ohms in parallel,

     Total equivalent resistance = (100 x 25) / (100 + 25) = 2,500/125 = <em>20 ohms</em>.

TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.

A rescue pilot drops a survival kit while her plane is flying at an altitude of 1.5 km with a forward velocity of 100.0 m/s. If
tresset_1 [31]

1750 meters.  
First, determine how long it takes for the kit to hit the ground. Distance over constant acceleration is: 
d = 1/2 A T^2
 where
 d = distance
 A = acceleration
 T = time 
 Solving for T, gives
 d = 1/2 A T^2
 2d = A T^2
 2d/A = T^2
 sqrt(2d/A) = T 
 Substitute the known values and calculate.
 sqrt(2d/A) = T
 sqrt(2* 1500m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(3000m / 9.8 m/s^2) = T
 sqrt(306.122449 s^2) = T
 17.49635531 s = T 
 Rounding to 4 significant figures gives 17.50 seconds. Since it will take
17.50 seconds for the kit to hit the ground, the kit needs to be dropped 17.50
seconds before the plane goes overhead. So just simply multiply by the velocity. 
17.50 s * 100 m/s = 1750 m

A standard AA battery provides 1.5 V. How many pennies and nickels would you need to include in a voltaic pile to produce the sa
GrogVix [38]

Answer: In a battery, voltage determines how strongly electrons are pushed through a circuit, much like pressure determines how strongly water is pushed through a hose. Most AAA, AA, C, and D batteries are around 1.5 volts. Imagine the batteries shown in the diagram are rated at 1.5 volts and 500 milliamp-hours.

Explanation: Today "AA" is frequently used as a size designation, irrespective of the battery's electrochemical system. The main numbers used for the most common NiMH and NiCad battery

As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, what happens to the electric potential?
mr Goodwill [35]

As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.

<h3>Electric potential between particles</h3>

The electric potential between particles is the work done in moving a unit charge from infinity to a certain point against the electrical resistance of the field.

V = Kq/r

where;

  • K is Coulomb's constant
  • q is the magnitude of the charge
  • r is the distance between the charges

Thus, from the formula above, as the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.
