Answer:

0.36 A.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω resistor. This is illustrated below:

Resistor 1 (R₁) = 35 Ω

Resistor 2 (R₂) = 20 Ω

Equivalent Resistance (Rₑq) =?

Since, the two resistors are in parallel connections, their equivalence can be obtained as follow:

Rₑq = (R₁ × R₂) / (R₁ + R₂)

Rₑq = (35 × 20) / (35 + 20)

Rₑq = 700 / 55

Rₑq = 12.73 Ω

Next, we shall determine the total resistance in the circuit. This can be obtained as follow:

Equivalent resistance between 35 Ω and 20 Ω (Rₑq) = 12.73 Ω

Resistor 3 (R₃) = 15 Ω

Total resistance (R) in the circuit =?

R = Rₑq + R₃ (they are in series connection)

R = 12.73 + 15

R = 27.73 Ω

Finally, we shall determine the current. This can be obtained as follow:

Total resistance (R) = 27.73 Ω

Voltage (V) = 10 V

Current (I) =?

V = IR

10 = I × 27.73

Divide both side by 27.73

I = 10 / 27.73

I = 0.36 A

Therefore, the current is 0.36 A.

Which of the following metals require ultraviolet light to exhibit the photoelectric effect?The options available: a. Cs, work f

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Explanation:

Ultraviolet light starts at the end of the visible light spectrum, where violet light ends:

$\lambda=380 nm =3.8\cdot 10^{-7}m$ (wavelength of lowest-energy ultraviolet light)

So, the lowest energy of ultraviolet light can be found by using the formula

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}$

where

h is the Planck constant

c is the speed of light

Substituting,

$E=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{3.8\cdot 10^{-7} m}=5.23\cdot 10^{-19}J$

And keeping in mind that

$1 eV = 1.6\cdot 10^{-19}J$

This energy converted into electronvolts is

$E=\frac{5.23\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=3.27 eV$

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy needed to extract a photoelectron from the surface of the metal. Therefore, the metals that exhibit photoelectric effect are the ones whose work function is larger than the energy we found previously, so:

b. AG, work function=4.74eV

Because for all the other metals, visible light will be enough to extract photoelectrons.
