Why does the current splits in parallel circuit and why does the voltage remains equal?​

Physics

Xelga [282]2 years ago

<u>Voltage:</u>

It is basically the difference between the charges of the materials on the ends of the Wire

<em>also known as potential difference</em>

It is very similar to the movement of air, it moves from higher density to lower density. in this case, the change in density is the potential difference

So, since voltage is the difference between the charge available on the ends of a wire. Even if the wire splits in parallel circuit, the difference of the charges remains the same

<em>the more the potential difference, the faster electrons will move to the material with lower charge</em>

<u>Current:</u>

Current is the amount of electrons moving through a cross-section of a wire in a period of time

So basically, it is the amount of electrons that move across a given point on a wire in a period of time

If the wire splits, we will have the same amount of electrons moving through as they would if the wire was not split but now, the electrons passing are divided and hence, if we measure the current after the split, we will find that we have a lower current

that's because we have less charge moving through the cross-section of the wire since some of those electrons are moving through a different wire

That's why the current splits in a parallel circuit

How are dwarf planets different from true planets?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The only difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is the area surrounding each celestial body. A dwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has.

Explanation:

the three criteria of the IAU for a full-sized planet are: It is in orbit around the Sun. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit .

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and
nikitadnepr [17]

Complete question:

The exit nozzle in a jet engine receives air at 1200 K, 150 kPa with negligible kinetic energy. The exit pressure is 80 kPa, and the process is reversible and adiabatic. Use constant specific heat at 300 K to find the exit velocity.

Answer:

The exit velocity is 629.41 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

initial temperature, T₁ = 1200K

initial pressure, P₁ = 150 kPa

final pressure, P₂ = 80 kPa

specific heat at 300 K, Cp = 1004 J/kgK

k = 1.4

Calculate final temperature;

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}

k = 1.4

T_2 = T_1(\frac{P_2}{P_1})^{\frac{k-1 }{k}}\\\\T_2 = 1200(\frac{80}{150})^{\frac{1.4-1 }{1.4}}\\\\T_2 = 1002.714K

Work done is given as;

W = \frac{1}{2} *m*(v_i^2 - v_e^2)

inlet velocity is negligible;

v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2W}{m} } = \sqrt{2*C_p(T_1-T_2)} \\\\v_e = \sqrt{2*1004(1200-1002.714)}\\\\v_e = \sqrt{396150.288} \\\\v_e = 629.41  \ m/s

Therefore, the exit velocity is 629.41 m/s
