A flashlight contains a battery of two cells in series, with a bulb of resistance 12 Ohms. The internal resistance of each cell

is 0.26 ohms. If the potential difference across the bulb is 2.88V, what is the emf of EACH cell?

Answer:

1.5024

Explanation:

Draw a diagram. Put the two cells in series. Now draw 3 resistors. Two of them equal 0.26 ohms each. The third one is the lightbulb which is 12 ohms.

R = 0.26 + 0.26 + 12 = 12.52

The bulb has a voltage of 2.88 volts across it. You can get the current from that.

i = E / R

i = 2.88 / 12 =

i = 0.24 amps.

Now you can get the voltage drop across the two cells.

E = ?

R = 0.26

i = 0.24 amps

E = 0.26 * 0.24

E = 0. 0624

Finally divide the 2.88 by 2 to get 1.44

Each cell has an emf of 1.44 + 0.0624 = 1.5024

what is the relationship between the number of turns of the wire and electrical output of the generator?
xxTIMURxx [149]

The number of turns of wire is directly proportional to voltage.

The higher the number of turns of wire the higher the voltage

Since .

Power (output) of a generator = voltage x current. Therefore the higher the voltage the higher the output of the generator.

So, the higher the number of turns of wire the higher the output of the generator.

A 1.5V battery is connected to a small light bulb with a resistance of 3.5 what is the current in the bulb?
notka56 [123]

Technically, we don't have the information needed to calculate the current,
because you haven't mentioned the units of the 3.5 .

Since the 3.5 is a resistance, we strongly suspect ... and we'll therefore
assume ... that the  3.5  has the units of ohms.    Then . . .

  Current = (voltage) / (resistance)  =  (1.5/3.5) = <em>3/7 of an Ampere</em>.

                                                                   (429 mA, rounded)

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Velocity, u = 0 km/s (at rest)

Final Velocity, v = 16 km/s

Time taken, t = 3 sec

acceleration, a = (v - u)/t

= (16 - 0)/3

= 5.33 km/s^2

A 5000-lb wrecking ball hangs from a 50-ft cable of density 10 lb/ft attached to a crane. Calculate the work done if the crane l
aniked [119]

Answer:

total work is = 52450 J

Explanation:

given data

mass =  5000-lb

density = 10 lb/ft

height = 50 ft

solution

as we will treat here cable and ball are separate  

and

here work need to lift cable is

w = (10Δy )(9.8 y )  j

and

now summing all segment of cable

so passing limit Δy to 0

so total work need

= \int\limits^{10}_0 {98y} \, dy    

= [49 y^2]^{50}_0

= 2450J

so lifting 5000 lb wrcking 50 m  required additional 5000 + 2450

so total work is = 52450 J
