The total resistance in a series circuit is equal to the sum of all resistors (R total = ΣRi).
R total = R1 + R2 + R3 = (3 + 4 + 5) Ω = 12 Ω
Answer:
Following are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
For charging plates that are connected in a similar manner:
Calculating the total charge:
Calculating the common potential:
Calculating the charge after redistribution:
If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.
A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
