Answer:

The maximum current which can flow through a fuse without melting it, is called its rating. ... If current higher than 8 A flows through the fuse, it would melt and circuit gets broken. ... Hence, fuse acts as a safety device

A light bulb in a camper’s flashlight is labeled 4.1 V, 0.40 A. Find the equivalent current if three of these light bulbs are co

Gnesinka [82]

Explanation:

first rule of parallel circuits : the voltage is the same in the whole circuit, no matter where we measure.

so, we have 1.5V at every bulb.

second rule of parallel circuits : the total current is the sum of the individual branch currents.

so, if the battery really allows it, then we have 3 times 0.4 A = 3×0.4 = 1.2 A as current in the circuit.

A charge q of 1.3 × 10-16 coulombs moves from point A to a lower potential at point B in an electric field of 3.2 × 102 newtons/

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Charge, $q=1.3\times 10^{-16}\ C$

Electric field, $E=3.2\times 10^2\ N/C$

Distance, $d=1.1\times 10^{-2}\ m$

The work done is stored in the form of potential energy.

$W=F.d$

$\because F=qE$

So, $W=qE\ d$

$W=1.3\times 10^{-16}\ C\times 3.2\times 10^2\ N/C\times 1.1\times 10^{-2}\ m$

$W=4.576\times 10^{-16}\ J$

Hence, this is the required solution.
