Build a second circuit with a battery and a light bulb but this time add a switch. Your circuit might look something like the on

e at right. When a switch is open in a circuit, it means the two ends are disconnected and current cannot flow between them. When a switch is closed in a circuit, it means the two ends are connected and current can flow between them. Play with the switch to check how it affects the flow of current. With the switch closed, compare the brightness of the bulb and the flow of current in this circuit, with that of your first circuit. Did increasing the length of wire in the circuit change the brightness of the bulb or the curr

Answer:

the resistance of the wire has no effect on the brightness of the bulb.

Explanation:

Let's apply ohm's law for your light bulb circuit plus wires plus switch

             V = I R_{bulb} + I R_ {wire}

the current in a series circuit is constant

             V = I (R_{bulb} + R_{wire})

To know the effect of the wires on the brightness of the bulb, we must look for the value of the typical resistance of these elements.

Incandescent bulb

Power 60 W

let's use the power ratio

            P = V I = V2 / R

            R = V2 / P

the voltage value for this power is V = 120 V

            R = 120 2/60

            R_bulb = 240 Ω

Resistance of a 14 gauge copper wire (most used), we look for it on the internet

            R = 8.45 Ω/ km

in a laboratory circuit approximately 2 m is used, so the resistance of our cable is

            R = 8.45 10⁻³ 2

            R_wire = 0.0169 Ω

let's buy the two resistors

            R_{bulb} = 240

            R_{wire} = 0.0169

            \frac{R_{bulb} }{R_{wire} } = \frac{240 }{ 0.0169}

              \frac{ R_{bulb} }{ R_{wire} } = 1.4 \ 10^4

therefore resistance of the bulb is much greater than that of the wire, therefore almost all the power is dissipated in the bulb.

In summary, the resistance of the wire has no effect on the brightness of the bulb.

Who could explain the phenomenom of interference of light?​
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

When the waves reflected from the inner and outer surface combine they will interfere with each other, removing or reinforcing some parts of white light by destructive or constructive interference. ... This results in color.

Explanation:

this is what we studied

so basically  there is like a surface

and 2 different waves coming out of the same source

they will combine and start removing parts of the white light (which originally consists of 6 to 7 colors)

results in showing these colors

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Hey there!

Biotic factors are living organisms. This includes plants, animals, and bacteria. Climate, water, and natural disasters are abiotic factors, which means they are nonliving factors that affect the environment. Disease is caused by bacteria, which is a biotic factor.

Therefore, your answer is B) Disease.

Hope this helps!

How can you increase the intensity of sound waves
VladimirAG [237]

Answer

The intensity of a sound wave depends on the pressure of the wave,density of the medium and speed of sound in the medium. Higher density and higher sound speed both give a lower intensity. and may be it is because that sound wave is more characterize by wavelength than frequency..explanation

Explanation:

As decibel levels get higher, sound waves have greater intensity and sounds are louder. For every 10-decibel increase in the intensity of sound, loudness is 10 times greater. Intensity of sound results from two factors: the amplitude of the sound waves and how far they have traveled from the source of the sound.

A loudspeaker produces a sound wave of frequency 50hz.
viktelen [127]
Hey mate
Here is your answer
Option A)
Explanation:
The larger the amplitude of the waves, the louder the sound. Pitch (frequency) – shown by the spacing of the waves displayed. The closer together the waves are, the higher the pitch of the sound.
