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

Physics
1 answer:
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

a) The impulse is 76.5 Ns

b) The average force is 546.4 N

c) The final speed is 31.5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

The impulse exerted on an object is defined as

J=\int F\Delta t

where

F is the magnitude of the force exerted on the object

\Delta t is the time interval during which the force is applied

If we consider a graph of the force applied vs time, it follows that the impulse exerted is equal to the area under the graph.

Therefore, in this problem, we can calculate the impulse by computing the area under the graph. We have a trapezium, whose bases are

B=0.14-0 = 0.14s\\b=8-5=3s

and whose height is

h=900 N

Therefore, the area (and the impulse) is

J=\frac{(B+b)h}{2}=\frac{(0.14+0.03)(900)}{2}=76.5 Ns

b)

In this problem, the force applied is not constant. However, we can rewrite the impulse also as

J=F_{avg} \Delta t

where

F_{avg} is the average force exerted during the whole time \Delta t

In this problem we have

J = 76.5 Ns is the impulse (calculated in part a)

\Delta t = 0.14 s is the time interval

Solving for the average force, we find

\Delta t = \frac{J}{F_{avg}}=\frac{76.5}{0.14}=546.4 N

c)

According to the impulse theorem, the impulse exerted on an object is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

J=\Delta p = m(v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem, we have

J = 76.5 Ns

m = 3.0 kg is the mass

u = 6.0 m/s is the initial velocity

Solving for v, we find the final velocity (and speed):

v=u+\frac{J}{m}=6.0+\frac{76.5}{3}=31.5 m/s

A 3.00-kg rifle fires a 0.00500-kg bullet at a speed of 300 m/s. Which force is greater in magnitude:(i) the force that the rifl
alekssr [168]

Answer:

C. both forces have the same magnitude

Explanation:

Here the action force is equal to the reaction force in accordance with the Newton's third law of motion.

Also when we apply the conservation of momentum so that the momentum bullet and the momentum of the gun are equal and according to the second law of motion by Newton, we have force equal to the rate of change in momentum.

We have the equation for momentum as:

p=m.v

Newton's second law is Mathematically given as:

F=\frac{dp}{dt}

Momentum is constant and the reaction time is equal, so the force exerted will also be equal.

How long will it take a 400 W engine to lift a 100 N object up to a height of 80 m?
Norma-Jean [14]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

20 seconds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given</u>;

  • Power of the engine as 400 watts
  • Force as 100 N
  • Distance the object is lifted up as 80 m

We are required to determine the time taken.

  • We need to know that power is the rate of work done

Therefore;

  • Power = Work done ÷ time

But, work done  = Force × distance

  • Therefore; In this case;

Work done = 100 N × 80 m

                  = 8000 Joules

  • Since , Power = Work done ÷ time

Then, time = Work done ÷ Power

Thus;

Time = 8000 J ÷ 400 W

       = 20 s

Therefore, the time taken by the engine to lift the object is 20 seconds
