When a light bulb is connected to a 4.5 V battery, a current of 0.16 A passes through the bulb filament. What is the resistance

Answer:

R = 28.125 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of a bulb, V = 4.5 V

Current, I = 0.16 A

We need to find the resistance of the filament. Using Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the filament

So,

$R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{4.5}{0.16}\\\\R=28.125\ \Omega$

So, the resistance of the filament is equal to 28.125 ohms.

Is the energy of a wave is calculated by squaring the frequency of the wave?

Misha Larkins [42]

Nope.
Energy is directly proportional to frequency. and when you calculate energy, you multiply frequency with a constant number called "Planck's Constant"

E = hf

Hope this helps!

A capacitor with initial charge q0 is discharged through a resistor. a) In terms of the time constant τ, how long is required fo

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{8}{9} \, q_0$ .

It would take $\tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ time for the capacitor to discharge from $q_0$ to $\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Note that $\ln 9 = 2\,\ln 3$ , and that $\ln 8 = 3\, \ln 2$ .

Explanation:

In an RC circuit, a capacitor is connected directly to a resistor. Let the time constant of this circuit is $\tau$ , and the initial charge of the capacitor be $q_0$ . Then at time $t$ , the charge stored in the capacitor would be:

$\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ .

<h3>a)</h3>

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{8}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{8}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{8}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{8}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 8 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 8 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 8)$ .

<h3>b)</h3>

$\displaystyle q(t) = \left(1 - \frac{1}{9}\right) \, q_0 = \frac{7}{9}\, q_0$ .

Apply the equation $\displaystyle q(t) = q_0 \, e^{-t / \tau}$ :

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{9}\, q_0 = q_0 \, e^{-t/\tau}$ .

The goal is to solve for $t$ in terms of $\tau$ . Rearrange the equation:

$\displaystyle e^{-t/\tau} = \frac{7}{9}$ .

Take the natural logarithm of both sides:

$\displaystyle \ln\, e^{-t/\tau} = \ln \frac{7}{9}$ .

$\displaystyle -\frac{t}{\tau} = \ln 7 - \ln 9$ .

$t = - \tau \, \left(\ln 7 - \ln 9\right) = \tau(\ln 9 - \ln 7)$ .
