A resistor DECREASES the speed of current as a resistors job is to resist the flow of electrons

The resistance is nothing but the obstruction posed to the current flowing through it. as the resistance increases, the amount of obstruction increases and makes the current to flow more slowly through the resistor. hence increase in the value of resistance results in decrease in the speed of the current.

The speed of the current decreases.

Determine the magnitude of the current flowing through a 4.7 kilo ohms resistor if the voltage across it is (a) 1mV (b) 10 V (c)
mariarad [96]

Answer:

213 nA

2.13 mA

851e^-t μA

Explanation:

We have a pretty straightforward question here.

Ohms Law states that the current in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance in the circuit. It is mathematically written as

V = IR, since we need I, we can write that

I = V/R

a) at V = 1 mV

I = (1 * 10^-3) / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 2.13 * 10^-7 A or 213 nA

b) at V = 10 V

I = 10 / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 0.00213 A or 2.13 mA

c) at V = 4e^-t

I = 4e^-t / 4.7 * 10^3

I = 0.000851e^-t A or 851e^-t μA

Describe a situation when you might travel at a high velocity bit with low acceleration
iren [92.7K]

I am sitting in my seat.
I am listening to my mp3 and reading my book.
My eyes are getting heavy.  They start to close.
I try to stay awake, but it's no use.
I am so warm and comfortable and sleepy,
and I have just finished my dinner.
Finally I can't help it.  Resistance is futile.
I give up, and fall deep asleep.
My head rests back against my soft, comfy seat.

My seat is in row 26 on the airplane I'm flying in
to visit my grandmother on the coast.
We are cruising at 560 miles an hour, bearing 280°,
at flight level 320 .
The temperature outside my window is  -60°F .

A garage door opener has a power rating of 350 watts.
Lelechka [254]
We Know, Power = Energy/Time
Substitute the known value. which is P = 350 watt, & T = 30 sec
350 = E/30 
E = 350 * 30
E = 1050 Joules.

So, your answer is 1050 Joules.
Hope this helps! Keep studying!
