How is the resistor of a 40v lamp higher then the resistor of a 60v lamp?

1 answer:

3 0

Power dissipation = (voltage across the component)² / (resistance of the component)

Since the resistance is in the denominator of the fraction in this formula for the
quantity of power dissipated, you can see that when the supply voltage is constant,
the smaller resistance dissipates more power.

So the 40w lamp has higher resistance than the 60w bulb.

Lelechka [254]

Given that the design is not shown, for traditional nuclear reactors with control rods, the best way to meet an increased demand for energy would be to raise the control rods so that less neutrons are absorbed.

So, the most reasonable answer to the question is B.

Is mass on a ramp related to acceleration?

Verdich [7]

Yes it may or may not be depending on the angle of the ramp. But if nothing is specified then it must be related to acceleration as friction is neglected.
