Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The total power of the circuit is equal to the sum of the powers of each lamp.

P=60+100\\P=160 [W]

Now we have a voltage source equal to 240 [V], so by means of the following equation we can find the current circulating in the circuit.

P=V*I

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

I = P/V\\I=160/240\\I=0.67 [amp]

So this is the answer for c) I = 0.67 [amp]

We know that the voltage of each lamp is 240 [V]. Therefore using ohm's law which is equal to the product of resistance by current we can find the voltage of each lamp.

a)

V=I*R

where:

V = voltage [V]

I = current [amp]

R = resistance [ohms]

Therefore we replace this equation in the first to have the current as a function of the resistance and not the voltage.

P=V*I\\and\\V = I*R\\P = (I*R)*I\\P=I^{2}*R

60 = (0.67)^{2}*R\\R_{60}=133.66[ohm] \\and\\100=(0.67)^{2} *R\\R_{100}=100/(0.66^{2} )\\R_{100}=225 [ohm]

b)

The effective resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistors connected in series.

R = 133.66 + 225\\R = 358.67 [ohms]

Why must the electric field be normal to the surface at every point of a charged conductor?
solong [7]
-- If the field were inclined to the surface, then it would have
some component parallel to the surface. 

-- Then, since we're talking about a conductor, the charges
on the object would move in response to that component
of the field, until there was no longer any component of the
field trying to move them.

According to science, the fastest speed possible for anything is the speed of light. The speed of light is about 186,000 miles p
Schach [20]
Yes, yes, go on !  The nearest star to us that's outside of our solar system
is 4.2 light years away.  So when we see that star, we're not seeing it as
it is, we're seeing it as it was 4.2 years ago.  And all of the other stars
are much farther away from us than that one is.  We have detected
galaxies that we're not seeing as they are now, we're seeing them as
they were 13 billion years ago !

The moon is about 240,000 miles away from us.  When we look at the
moon, we're not seeing it as it is, we're seeing it as it was 1.3 seconds ago.

The refrigerator in your kitchen is about 12 feet from you.  So when you
look at the refrigerator, you're not seeing it as it is.  You're seeing it as it
was 0.0000000122 second ago.

A car has a mass of 1,000 kilograms. The weight of the car is blank newtons. Use g = 9.8 N/kg for gravity.
Komok [63]
The weight of an object is mass*acceleration. In this case mass*g.
1000*9.8=9800
So the car has a weight of 9800 N.
