A parallel circuit has two 8.0-ohm resistors and a power source of 9.0 volts. If a 12.5-ohm resistor is added to the circuit in

parallel, how will the current be affected and what value will it have?

-- The two 8-ohm resistors in parallel are equivalent to
a single 4-ohm resistor.

-- The current in the circuit is 

                 (voltage) / (resistance) = (9v) / (4ohms) = 2.25 Amperes

-- If another resistor is added in parallel, then no matter how large
or small it is, the current in the circuit increases. 
(When another lane is added to a road, the traffic capacity of the
road increases.)

The circuit is now equivalent to a 12.5-ohm resistor in parallel
with 4-ohms.  That's ...

       (12.5 x 4) / (12.5 + 4)  =  50/16.5  =  3.03 ohms .

-- The new current is  (9v) / (3.03 ohms)  =  2.97 Amperes

The rifles in the figures are being fired horizontally (straight outward, off platforms). The bullets fired from the rifles are
Levart [38]

Answer:

  t = √ 2y₀ / g

if they are at the same height, all the bullets must carry the target, since when advancing the height decreases

Explanation:

In this exercise we see that the bullets are fired horizontally so the time it takes to reach the ground is

          y = y₀ + v_{oy}  t - ½ g t²

as they are fired horizontally their vertical velocity is zero and the height upon reaching the ground is zero y = 0

         0 = y₀ - ½ g t²

         t = √ 2y₀ / g

from here we can see that the time it takes for the bullets to hit the floor depends only on the initial height

Therefore, all the bullets that come out of the same height reach the ground at the same time, but at a different distance, so if one misses the target, everything must fail since reaching the target is below the initial height.

The horizontal distance traveled by the bullets is

        x = v₀ₓ t

        v₀ₓ =v₀

        x = v₀ √2y₀/g

For a more precise calculation we should know the height of the target and the bullets, but if they are at the same height, all the bullets must carry the target, since when advancing the height decreases

Travka [436]

Complete question:

A small circular coil of 5 turns of wire lies in a uniform magnetic field of 0.8 T, so that the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of 100◦ with the direction of B~ . The radius of the coil is 4 cm, and it carries a current of 1 A.

What is magnitude of the magnetic moment of the coil? Answer in units of A · m2.

Answer:

The magnetic moment of the coil is 0.0252 A.m²

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the coil, r = 4 cm = 0.04 m

number of turns of the coil, N = 5 turns

magnetic field strength B = 0.8 T

current in the coil, I = 1 A

Area of the coil, A = πr² = π(0.04)² = 0.00503 m²

magnetic moment of the coil, μ = NIA

where;

N is the number of turns

I is the current in the coil

A is the area of the coil

magnetic moment of the coil, μ = 5 x 1 x 0.00503 = 0.0252 A.m²

Therefore, the magnetic moment of the coil is 0.0252 A.m²
