: Suppose somebody, using the same apparatus which you used, measured I = 45.5 ma, and V = 8.2 volts on some resistor. Using you

r recorded uncertainties for the 50 ma and 10-volt scales, what would be the maximum % uncertainty in R if it were calculated from the Ohm’s Law Equation (1)? Use calculus methods to answer this question if you can.

Answer:

R = (18 ± 2) 10¹ Ω

ΔR = 2 10¹ Ω

Explanation:

Ohm's law relates voltage to current and resistance

           V = i R

            R = \frac{V}{i}V / i

the absolute error of the resistance is

           ΔR = | | \frac{dR}{DV} | \ \Delta V + | \frac{dR}{di} | \ \Delta i

the absolute value guarantees the worst case, maximum error

           ΔR = \frac{1}{i} \Delta V+ \frac{V}{i^2} \Delta i

The error in the voltage let be approximate, if we use a scale of 10 V, in general the scales are divided into 20 divisions, the error is the reading of 1 division, let's use a rule of direct proportion

          ΔV = 1 division = 10 V / 20 divisions

          ΔV = 0.5 V

The current error must also be approximate, if we have the same number of divisions

           Δi = 50 mA / 20 divisions

           Δi = 2.5 mA

       

let's calculate

          ΔR = \frac{1}{45.5 \ 10^{-3}} \ 0.5 + \frac{8.2}{(45.5 \ 10^{-3})^2 } \ 2.5 \ 10^{-3}

          ΔR = 10.99 + 9.9

          ΔR = 20.9 Ω

The absolute error must be given with a significant figure

          ΔR = 2 10¹ Ω

the resistance value is

          R = 8.2 / 45.5 10-3

          R = 180 Ω

the result should be

          R = (18 ± 2) 10¹ Ω

Answer:

1.F = 256 N

2.a = 8 m/s/s

By looking at the given information, you know force, and an acceleration. Therefore you have enough information to use the first formula.

F = ma

256 N = m * 8 m/s/s

m = 256 N/8 m/s/s

m = 32 Kg

Helium–neon laser light (λ = 632.8 nm) is sent through a 0.350-mm-wide single slit. What is the width of the central maximum on
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The width of the central bright fringe is 7.24 mm.

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = 632.8 nm

Width d= 0.350 mm

Distance between screen and slit D= 2.00 m

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

y_{m}=\dfrac{\lambda D}{d}

Put the value into the formula

y_{m}=\dfrac{632.8\times10^{-9}\times2.00}{0.350\times10^{-3}}

y_{m}=3.62\ mm

We need to calculate the width of the central bright fringe

Using formula of width

width = 2\times|y_{m}|

Put the value into the formula

width=2\times3.62

width = 7.24\ mm

Hence, The width of the central bright fringe is 7.24 mm.

What happens as a result of the pulses passing by each other?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

After pulses pass through each other, each pulse continues along its original direction of travel, and their original amplitudes remain unchanged.

Explanation:

Constructive interference takes place when two pulses meet each other to create a larger pulse.

As voltage was being increased, what did you observe about the motion of charges in the external circuit?
Nonamiya [84]

The top plate grew more positively charged as the voltage was raised, while the bottom plate became more negatively charged. Accordingly, the electron moves from the top plate to the bottom plate.

<h3 /><h3>What is a voltage?</h3>

When charged electrons (current) are forced through a conducting loop by the pressure of an electrical circuit's power source, they can perform tasks like lighting a lamp.

In a nutshell, voltage equals pressure and is expressed in volts (V). The name honours Alessandro Volta (1745–1827), an Italian physicist who developed the voltaic pile, the precursor of the modern household battery.

Early on, voltage was referred to as electromotive force (emf). This is the reason why the symbol E is used to denote voltage in equations like Ohm's Law.

The words "potential difference" and "voltage" are frequently used interchangeably. The potential energy difference between two places in a circuit might be a better way to define potential difference. How much potential energy there is to transport electrons from one specific place to another depends on the differential (measured in volts). The amount indicates the maximum amount of work that could possibly be done through the circuit.

For instance, a standard AA alkaline battery provides 1.5 V. Electrical outlets seen in most homes provide 120 V. The more electrons a circuit can "push" and do work with, the higher the voltage in the circuit.
