what happens to the current in a circuit if the resitance of the components in the circuit is increased​

Physics

Answer:

The current decreases.

Explanation:

Current and resistance are inversely proportional. The equation connecting current, resistance and voltage is V = IR, where V is voltage, I is current and R is resistance.

Rearranging this equation, you get:

I = \frac{V}{R}

and

R = \frac{V}{I}

If the value of voltage in both equations remains constant, and the value of R decreases, the value of I will increase. Conversely, if in the second equation R = \frac{V}{I} , the value of V remains constant the value of I decreases, then the value of R, resistance will increase.

Thus, it can be seen that the current will decrease as resistance increases and vice versa.

You wish to cool a 1.83 kg block of tin initially at 88.0°C to a temperature of 57.0°C by placing it in a container of kerosene
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.

Explanation:

The minimum boiling point of kerosene is 150\,^{\circ}C. According to this question, we need to determine the minimum volume of liquid such that heat received is entirely sensible, that is, with no phase change.

If we consider a steady state process and that energy interactions with surrounding are negligible, then we get the following formula by the Principle of Energy Conservation:

\rho_{k}\cdot V_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o}) = m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T) (1)

Where:

\rho_{k} - Density of kerosene, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

V_{k} - Volume of kerosene, measured in cubic meters.

c_{k}, c_{t} - Specific heats of the kerosene and tin, measured in joule per kilogram-Celsius.

T_{k,o}, T_{t,o} - Initial temperatures of kerosene and tin, measured in degrees Celsius.

T - Final temperatures of the kerosene-tin system, measured in degrees Celsius.

Please notice that the block of tin is cooled at the expense of the temperature of the kerosene until thermal equilibrium is reached.

From (1), we clear the volume of kerosene:

V_{k} = \frac{m_{t}\cdot c_{t}\cdot (T_{t,o}-T)}{\rho_{k}\cdot c_{k}\cdot (T-T_{k,o})}

If we know that m_{t} = 1.83\,kg, c_{t} = 218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C}, T_{t,o} = 88\,^{\circ}C, T_{k,o} = 24.0\,^{\circ}C, T = 57\,^{\circ}C, c_{k} = 2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} and \rho_{k} = 820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, then the volume of the liquid needed to accomplish this task without boiling is:

V_{k} = \frac{(1.83\,kg)\cdot \left(218\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (88\,^{\circ}C-57\,^{\circ}C)}{\left(820\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(2010\,\frac{J}{kg\cdot ^{\circ}C} \right)\cdot (57\,^{\circ}C-24\,^{\circ}C)}

V_{k} = 2.273\times 10^{-4}\,m^{3}

V_{k} = 0.273\,L

0.273 liters are needed to accomplish this task without boiling.
