Across 20.0Ω = 5.2Ω
<h2>Explanation:</h2>(a) The labelled circuit using the correct symbols (for the resistors and battery) has been attached to this response.
(b) Since the resistors are hooked up in series, their equivalent resistance R, is found by adding the individual resistances of the resistors (R₁, R₂ and R₃). i.e
R = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ -------------------(i)
Where;
R₁ = 5.0 Ω
R₂ = 10.0 Ω
R₃ = 20.0 Ω
<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>
∴ R = 5.0 Ω + 10.0 Ω + 20.0 Ω
∴ R = 35.0 Ω
Therefore, the equivalent resistance is ∴ R = 35.0Ω
(c) When resistors are connected in series, the same current passes through them. To get the current through each resistor;
i. First, replace the resistors by their equivalent resistor as calculated above. The diagram has been attached to this response.
ii. As seen in the diagram, the current flowing through the equivalent resistor can be calculated using Ohm's law as follows;
V = I R ------------------(ii)
Where;
V = Voltage supplied to the circuit = 9.0V
I = Current through the circuit
R = Resistance of the equivalent resistor = 35.0Ω
Substitute these values into equation (ii)
9.0 = I x 35.0
I =
I = 0.26A
This is also the current flowing through each of the resistors separately.
iii. Calculate the voltage drop across
1.<em> 5.0 Ω resistor</em>
Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)
V = I x R
Where;
V = voltage drop across the 5.0Ω resistor
I = current through the 5.0Ω resistor = 0.26A
R = resistance of the 5.0Ω resistor = 5.0Ω
=> V = 0.26 x 5.0
=> V = 1.3V
2.<em> 10.0 Ω resistor</em>
Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)
V = I x R
Where;
V = voltage drop across the 10.0Ω resistor
I = current through the 10.0Ω resistor = 0.26A
R = resistance of the 10.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω
=> V = 0.26 x 10.0
=> V = 2.6V
3.<em> 20.0 Ω resistor</em>
Applying Ohm's law from equation (ii)
V = I x R
Where;
V = voltage drop across the 20.0Ω resistor
I = current through the 20.0Ω resistor = 0.26A
R = resistance of the 20.0Ω resistor = 10.0Ω
=> V = 0.26 x 20.0
=> V = 5.2V
Answer:
VB − VA = g tAB & (VA + VB)/2 = h / tAB
Explanation:
s = h = Displacement
tAB = t = Time taken
VA = u = Initial velocity
VB = v = Final velocity
a = g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Hence, the equations VB − VA = g tAB & (VA + VB)/2 = h / tAB will be used
Answer:
The charges are q₁ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C and q₂ = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
Explanation:
Here is the complete question
Two identical tiny balls have charge q1 and q2. The repulsive force one exerts on the other when they are 20cm apart is 1.35 X 10-4 N. after the balls are touched together and then represented once again to 20cm, now the repulsive force is found to be 1.40 X 10-4 N. find the charges q1 and q2.
Solution
The force F = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴ N when the charges are separated a distance of r = 20 cm = 0.2 m is given by
F = kq₁q₂/r₁²
q₁q₂ = Fr₁²/k
q₁q₂ = 1.35 × 10⁻⁴ N × (0.2 m)²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² = 0.054/9 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 0.006 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
q₁q₂ = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C² (1)
When the charges are brought together, the charge is now q = (q₁ + q₂)/2
The new repulsive force F = 1.406 × 10⁻⁴ N at a distance of r₂ = 20 cm = 0.2 m is then
F₂ = kq²/r₂²
q² = F₂r₂²/k = 1.406 × 10⁻⁴ N × (0.2 m)²/9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C² = 0.00625 × 10⁻¹³ C² = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
q² = 6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
q = √(6.25 × 10⁻¹⁶) C
q = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C
(q₁ + q₂)/2 = 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C
(q₁ + q₂) = 2 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁸ C
q₁ + q₂ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C (2)
q₁ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂ (3)
Substituting equation (3) into (1), we have
(5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂)q₂ = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
Expanding the bracket, we have
(5 × 10⁻⁸ C)q₂ - q₂² = 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C²
So, q₂² - (5 × 10⁻⁸ C)q₂ + 6 × 10⁻¹⁶ C² = 0
Using the quadratic formula to find q₂
q₁ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - q₂
q₁ = 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - 3 × 10⁻⁸ C or 5 × 10⁻⁸ C - 2 × 10⁻⁸ C
q₁ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C or 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
So the charges are q₁ = 2 × 10⁻⁸ C and q₂ = 3 × 10⁻⁸ C
