Answer:

Resistance = 1728.57 Ohms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Power = 7 Watts

Voltage = 110 Volts

To find the resistance of each bulb;

Mathematically, power can be calculated using the formula;

$Power = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{resistance}$

Making resistance the subject of formula, we have;

$Resistance = \frac {Voltage^{2}}{power}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Resistance = \frac {110^{2}}{7}$

$Resistance = \frac {12100}{7}$

Resistance = 1728.57 Ohms

A 0.290 cm diameter plastic sphere, used in a static electricity demonstration, has a uniformly distributed 30.0 pC charge on it

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Therefore,

The potential (in V) near its surface is 186.13 Volt.

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of sphere,

d= 0.29 cm

$radius=\dfrac{d}{2}=\dfrac{0.29}{2}=0.145\ cm$

$r = 0.145\ cm = 0.145\times 10^{-2}\ m$

Charge ,

$Q = 30.0\ pC=30\times 10^{-12}$

To Find:

Electric potential , V = ?

Solution:

Electric Potential at point surface is given as,

$V=\dfrac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{0}}\times \dfrac{Q}{r}$

Where,

V= Electric potential,

ε0 = permeability free space = 8.85 × 10–12 F/m

Q = Charge

r = Radius

Substituting the values we get

$V=\dfrac{1}{4\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\times \dfrac{30\times 10^{-12}}{0.145\times 10^{-2}}$

$V=\dfrac{30}{16.117\times 10^{-2}}=186.13\ Volt$

Therefore,

The potential (in V) near its surface is 186.13 Volt.
