Answer:

The resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

Explanation:

Given;

Voltage source, E = 12 V

Voltage rating of the lamp, V = 5 V

Current through the lamp, I = 18 mA

Extra voltage or potential drop = 12 V - 5 V = 7 V

The resistance that will provide this potential drop (7 V) is calculated as follows:

R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{7 \ V}{18 \times 10^{-3} A} \ = 388.89 \ ohms

Therefore, the resistance that will provide this potential drop is 388.89 ohms.

a waves amplitude is 0.5 meters. If the amplitude is increased to 1 metro, how does its energy change
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The energy becomes 4 times greater.

Explanation:

We know that the energy of a wave is proportional to the square of its amplitude

E ∝ Amplitude^2

Since the original amplitude = 0.5 m

and the new amplitude becomes = 1 m

We are doubling the amplitude. This means that the new energy will be affected by a factor of 4

E_new  ∝ (2*Amplitude)^2  =

E_new ∝ 4*(Amplitude)^2  

E_new  = 4*E
