$\sf\huge\underline\blue{Resistor:-}$

$\rightarrow$ A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.

$\rightarrow$ Resistors reduce the current flow and lower voltage levels within circuits.

$\sf\large\underline\purple{Resistors \:in\: Series:-}$

$\rightarrow$ A circuit is said to be connected in series when the same amount of current flows through the resistors. In such circuits, the voltage across each resistor is different.

$\rightarrow$ In a series connection, if any resistor is broken or a fault occurs, then the entire circuit is turned off. The construction of a series circuit is simpler compared to a parallel circuit.

$\rightarrow$ For the above circuit(attached image-1), the total resistance is given as:

$\sf{R_{total}\: = \:R1 + R2 + ….. + Rn}$

The total resistance of the system is just the total of individual resistances.

$\sf\large\underline\purple{Resistors \:in\: Parallel:-}$

$\rightarrow$ A circuit is said to be connected in parallel when the voltage is the same across the resistors. In such circuits, the current is branched out and recombines when branches meet at a common point.

$\rightarrow$ A resistor or any other component can be connected or disconnected easily without affecting other elements in a parallel circuit.

$\rightarrow$ The figure(attached image -2) above shows ‘n’ number of resistors connected in parallel. The following relation gives the total resistance here

$\sf{\frac{1}{R_{total}}\: = \:\frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + ….. + \frac{1}{Rn}}$

$\rightarrow$ The sum of reciprocals of resistance of an individual resistor is the total reciprocal resistance of the system.

Answer:

In a series circuit, the output current of the first resistor flows into the input of the second resistor; therefore, the current is the same in each resistor. In a parallel circuit, all of the resistor leads on one side of the resistors are connected together and all the leads on the other side are connected together.

A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 2.00 s at the same height as the point of release. (a

Answer:

Part a)

a = -9.81 m/s/s

Part b)

v = 0

Part c)

v = 9.81 m/s

Part d)

$H = 4.905 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

During the motion of ball it will have only gravitational force on the ball

so here the acceleration of the ball is only due to gravity

so it is given as

$a = g = 9.81 m/s^2$

Part b)

As we know that ball is moving against the gravity

so here the velocity of ball will keep on decreasing as the ball moves upwards

so at the highest point of the motion of the ball the speed of ball reduce to zero

$v_f = 0$

Part c)

We know that the total time taken by the ball to come back to the initial position is T = 2 s

so in this time displacement of the ball will be zero

$\Delta y = 0 = v_y t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$0 = v_y (2) - \frac{1}{2}(9.81)(2^2)$

$v_y = 9.81 m/s$

Part d)

at the maximum height position we know that the final speed will be zero

so we will have

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d$

here we have

$0 - (9.81^2) = 2(-9.81)H$

$H = 4.905 m$

A uniform continuous line charge with net positive charge Q and length L lies on the x-axis from −L2 to +L2. This problem asks a

irakobra [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we subdivide the bar into small pieces, each piece (dx) contains a charge (dq), the electric field of each piece is equivalent to the field of a punctual electric charge, and has a direction as shown in the attached figure. For each piece (dx) in the negative axis there is another symmetric piece (dx) in the positive axis, and as we see in the figure for symmetry the sum of their electric fields gives a resultant in the Y axis (because its components in X are cancelled by symmetry).

Then the resultant of the electric field will be only in Y.

suter [353]

Answer:

The power transmitted to the pulley is 0.0455 hp.

Explanation:

Given;

mass attached to the rope, m = 5 lb

radius of the pulley, r = 3 in

constant rate of fall of the mass, v = 5 ft/s

acceleration due to gravity, g = 32.2 ft/s²

1 lbf = 32.2 lb.ft/s²

The power transmitted to the pulley is calculated as;

P = Fv

P = (mg)v

$P = 5 \ lb \ \times \ 32.2 \ \frac{ft}{s^2} \ \times \ 5 \ \frac{ft}{s} \ \times \ \frac{1 \ lbf}{32.2 \ lb.ft/s^2} \ \ = 25 \ \frac{ft.lbf}{s} \\\\$
