How is the direction of current defined by convention

Physics

ddd [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Answer: magnitude of applied force is FA = mg + F

Where F is the resultant force downward that the rope moves with

Explanation:

Force downwards F is,

F = FA - T

T is the upwards tension force on the rope

FA is the actual applied force in pulling the rope down.

Therefore, T = FA - F .....equ. (1)

For the box to move up with force ma ( it's mass times its acceleration upwards) upwards tension on the roap must exceed its own weight mg ( it's mass times acceleration due to gravity 9.8m/s^2)

Therefore, ma = T - mg

T = ma + mg ..... equ. (2)

Equating equ. 1 and 2

T = FA - F = ma + mg

Therefore FA = ma + mg + F

But at constant velocity a = 0

Magnitude of applied force becomes

FA = mg + F
