The maximum voltage which can be applied before the bulb will break is 50 Volts.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Resistance of light bulb = 5 Ohms
  • Current = 10 Amps.

To find how much voltage can be applied before the bulb will break, we would apply Ohm's law:

Ohm's law states that at constant temperature, the current flowing through an electrical circuit is directly proportional to the voltage applied across the two terminals of the circuit and it's inversely proportional to the resistance in the electrical circuit.

Mathematically, Ohm's law is given by the formula;

V = IR

<u>Where;</u>

  • V is voltage measured in voltage.
  • I is current measured in amperes.
  • R is resistance measured in ohms.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

Voltage = 10 × 5

<em>Voltage </em><em>=</em><em> 50 Volts.</em>

Therefore, the maximum voltage which can be applied before the bulb will break is 50 Volts.

In an RLC series circuit that includes a source of alternating current operating at fixed frequency and voltage, the resistance
maw [93]

Answer:

Capacitive Reactance is 4 times of resistance

Solution:

As per the question:

R = X_{L} = j\omega L = 2\pi fL

where

R = resistance

X_{L} = Inductive Reactance

f = fixed frequency

Now,

For a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance, C:

C = \frac{\epsilon_{o}A}{x}

where

x = separation between the parallel plates

Thus

C ∝ \frac{1}{x}

Now, if the distance reduces to one-third:

Capacitance becomes 3 times of the initial capacitace, i.e., x' = 3x, then C' = 3C and hence Current, I becomes 3I.

Also,

Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_{L} - X_{C})^{2}}

Also,

Z ∝ I

Therefore,

\frac{Z}{I} = \frac{Z'}{I'}

\frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}}}{3I} = \frac{\sqrt{R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}}}{I}

{R^{2} + (R - X_{C})^{2}} = 9({R^{2} + (R - \frac{X_{C}}{3})^{2}})

{R^{2} + R^{2} + X_{C}^{2} - 2RX_{C} = 9({R^{2} + R^{2} + \frac{X_{C}^{2}}{9} - 2RX_{C})

Solving the above eqn:

X_{C} = 4R
