Answer:

2ohms resistor

Explanation:

According to ohms law

V= IR

V is the potential difference

I is the current

R is the resistance

Since they have the same potential difference, this shows that they are connected in parallel

Let assume V = 20V

For the 4ohms resistor

I = V/R

I = 20/4

I = 5A

For the two ohms resistor

I = V/R

I = 20/2

I = 10A

This shows that the 2ohms resistor will have the bigger current because the smaller the load, the bigger the current and vice versa

A loop of wire is carrying current of 2 A . The radius of the loop is 0.4 m. What is the magnetic field at a distance 0.09 m alo
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

B=2.91\ \mu T

Explanation:

Given that,

The current in the loop, I = 2 A

The radius of the loop, r = 0.4 m

We need to find the magnetic field at a distance 0.09 m along the axis and above the center of the loop. The formula for the magnetic field at some distance is given as follows :

B=\dfrac{\mu_o}{4\pi }\dfrac{2\pi r^2 I}{(r^2+d^2)^{3/2}}

Put all the values,

B=10^{-7}\times \dfrac{2\pi \times 0.4^2 \times 2}{(0.4^2+0.09^2)^{3/2}}\\\\=2.91\times 10^{-6}\ T\\\\or\\\\B=2.91\ \mu T

So, the required magnetic field is equal to 2.91\ \mu T.

Explain electrostatic force
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Electrostatics is a branch of physics that studies electric charges at rest. Since classical physics, it has been known that some materials, such as amber, attract lightweight particles after rubbing. The Greek word for amber, or electron, was thus the source of the word 'electricity'.
