I thought you were going to ask for the resistance of the unknown
series resistor.  Since you only want the equivalent resistance of the
circuit, you don't even need to know the resistance of the lamp.

I = E / R

Current through the circuit = (voltage of the battery) / (circuit resistance).
  
                                                  0.5 = (12) / R

Multiply each side by  'R' :    (0.5) R = 12

Multiply each side by  2 :      <em>R = 24 ohms</em>


(Since the resistance of the lamp is 10 ohms, the
unknown series resistor is the other 14 ohms.)

The wheel and axle increases your force. You exert your input force over a long distance and the output force is increased over a shorter distance. (Because the wheel is larger than the axle, the axle rotates and exerts a large output force.) A simple machine with a grooved wheel with a rope or cable wrapped around it.

Will water pressure be greater at the bottom of a container that you put a hole in or at the top of a container?
ddd [48]
Pressure=hrg
pressure is great at the bottom because the weight lf water exerts pressure below the container due to the gravitational pull of the earth.

Which of the following statements are true for magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field? Che
qaws [65]

Answer:

The following statements are correct.

1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

2. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the field.

3. The direction of the magnetic force acting on a current-carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current.

Wrong statements:

1. The magnetic force on the current-carrying wire is strongest when the current is parallel to the magnetic field lines.

Zielflug [23.3K]
Using the Equation:
                                 v² = vi² + 2 · a · s    → Eq.1
where,
v = final velocity 
vi = initial velocity 
a = acceleration 
s = distance 

<span><span>We know that vi = 0 because the ball was at rest initially.
</span><span>
Therefore,

Solving Eq.1 for acceleration,
 
</span></span> v² = vi² + 2 · a · s
 v² = 0 + 2 · a · s
 v² = 2 · a · s
Rearranging for a,

Substituting the values,
a = 46</span>²/2×1<span> 
a = 1058 m/s</span>²
