Answer:

4A

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.

Two loudspeakers emit sound waves along the x-axis. The sound has maximum intensity when the speakers are 20 cm apart. The sound
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a. Wavelength = λ = 20 cm

b. Next distance of maximum intensity will be 40 cm

Explanation:

a. The distance between the two speakers is 20cm. SInce the intensity is maximum which refers that we have constructive interference and the phase difference must be an even multiple of π and equivalent path difference is nλ.

Now when distance increases upto 30 cm between the speakers, the sound intensity becomes zero which means that there is destructive interference and equivalent path is now increased from nλ to nλ + λ/2.

This we get the equation:

(nλ + λ/2) - nλ = 30-20

λ/2 = 10

λ = 20 cm

b. at what distance, sound intensity will be maximum again.

For next point calculation for maximum sound intensity, the path difference must be increased (n+1) λ. The distance must increase by λ/2 from the point of zero intensity.

= 30 + λ/2

= 30 + 20/2

=30+10

=40 cm

A reasonable estimate for the height of the walls in an ordinary american home is?
Olegator [25]

A reasonable estimate for the height of the walls in an ordinary American home is 2.5m.

<h3>What is wall estimation?</h3>

Building gauge is of two sorts one is known as Rough Cost Estimate. This gauge won't depict the specific expense of the structure, however it can provide you with the rough expense worth of the structure that will help adequately in overseeing cash for the structure. Harsh Cost Estimate is directed in various ways for various sort of structures. The rough complete wall length is found in running meters in this framework and this all out length accumulated by the rate per running meter of the wall gives an actually solid cost. Assessment hypothesis is a part of insights that arrangements with assessing the upsides of boundaries in light of estimated experimental information that has an irregular part. The boundaries depict a fundamental actual setting so that their worth influences the circulation of the deliberate information.
