Question

5) In the last part of step 7 of the procedure, you measured the resistance of the flashlight when it had no current passing through it. The resistance of the flashlight is different, however, when current is passing through it. Explain how your measurement of the resistance of the variable resistor obtained in part 7 is a valid approximation of the resistance of the flashlight when it had current passing through it. Is the resistance higher when the flashlight is on or off

Answer 1

Answer:

Following are the responses to this question:

Explanation:

The small current passes thru the capacitor of the strain gauge and the current is generated throughout the resistor. For the very first time,  in contrast to what we calculate, its resistance of the multimeter is quite high and therefore the small stream flowing through the bulb would have very little impact on the measure. Thus, as the current flows through the flashbulb, this same calculation is of excellent price, its material is heated and resistance varies with increase. Therefore, when the bulb will be on, sensitivity is greater.
