Answer:

The index of refraction of a diamond is 2.4175

Explanation:

refractive index

n = c/v

n = refractive index

c = speed of light

v = velocity of light thru the material

A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A

It takes 20s for 3x10^6 electrons to flow through a wire ,what is the current?

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The variables we know and are given are:

time, t = 20s

Charge, Q = 3x1-^-6 electrons, which is just 3x10^-6C (C stands for Coulombs, which is the unit for Charge)

We need to find the current, I, and since we know Q and t we can substitute these values into the given equation:

I=Q/t (which if you look at what the RHS is saying, its Charge over time, or more literally means the amount of charge passing a point over a period of time)

If we substitute these values, we will get I as:

I = Q / t

I = 3x10^-6 / 20

I = 1.5x10^-7 A

Hope this helps!

Consider the power dissipated in a series R–L–C circuit with R=280Ω, L=100mH, C=0.800μF, V=50V, and ω=10500rad/s. The current an

ki77a [65]

Answer:

0.28802

2.57162 W

14.28 W

53.55 W

6.07142 W

Explanation:

R = 280Ω

L = 100 mH

C = 0.800 μF

V = 50 V

ω = 10500rad/s

For RLC circuit impedance is given by

$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{R^2+(\omega L-\dfrac{1}{\omega C})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=\sqrt{280^2+(10500\times 100\times 10^{-3}-\dfrac{1}{10500\times 0.8\times 10^{-6}})^2}\\\Rightarrow Z=972.1483\ \Omega$
