Answer:

(1) 2 ohms

(2) 12 Volts Across each resistor

(3) I₁ = 3 A, I₂ = 2 A, I₃ = 1 A

Explanation:

From the question,

(1) Equilvalent Resistance (Rt) for parallel connection is

1/Rt =(1/R₁)+ (1/R₂) + (1/R₃)

Where R₁ = 4 ohms, R₂ = 6 ohms, R₃ = 12 ohms

1/Rt = 1/4 +1/6 +1/12

1/Rt = (3+2+1)/12

1/Rt = 6/12

1/Rt = 1/2

Rt = 2 ohms.

(2) Since the resistors are connected in parallel, They will have the same potential difference across them,

Hence the P.d across each resistor = 12 Volts.

(3) For R₁,

I₁ = V/R₁ = 12/4

I₁ = 3 A.

For R₂,

I₂ = V/R₂

I₂ = 12/6

I₂ = 2 A

For R₃,

I₃ = V/R₃

I₃ = 12/12

I₃ = 1 A

A sample of a diatomic ideal gas has pressure P and volume V. When the gas is warmed, its pressure triples and its volume double
Andreyy89

Answer:

Amount of  Energy transferred =8.5PV

Explanation:

Given:

Initial volume=V

Initial pressure=P

Final volume=2V

Final pressure=3P

Now w know that the Energy transferred in constant pressure pressure is given by

E_1=nc_pdT\\\\E_1=n\times\dfrac{7R}{2}dT\\E_1=3.5(nRdT)\\E_1=3.5(V(2P-P))\\E_1=3.5PV

Now the Energy transferred in constant volume process is given by

E_2=nc_vdT\\\\E_2=n\times\dfrac{5R}{2}dT\\E_1=2.5(nRdT)\\E_1=2.5(V(3V-V))\\E_1=5PV

The total Energy transferred is given by

E_{total}=E_1+E_2\\E{total}=3.5PV+5PV\\=8.5PV

Imagine a Rip-van-Winkle type who lives in the mountains. Just before going to sleep he yells "WAKE UP" and the sound echoes off
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

4939200 m

Explanation:

v = Velocity of sound in air = 343 m/s (general value)

For the echo to reach Rip van Winkle it must cover the distance to the mountain twice. So, time taken for the sound traveling to the mountain once

t=\dfrac{8}{2}=4\ hr

Distance is given by

s=vt\\\Rightarrow s=343\times 4\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow s=4939200\ m=4939.2\ km

The distance to the mountain is 4939200 m

A negatively charged rod of finite length carries charge with a uniform charge per unit length. Sketch the electric field lines
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

In the case of a negatively charged rod, the field lines points radially towards the rod.

Explanation:

Field lines pointing towards the negatively charged rod are used to represent the nature of an electric field. Field lines always points in a direction, i.e If the charge is positive, field lines points radially away from the rod and if the charge is negative the field lines points radially towards the rod. So in the case of a negatively charged rod, the field lines points radially towards the rod.
