Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?

1 answer:

3 0

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.

While finding the spring constant, if X1 = 12 cm, X2 = 15 cm, and hanging mass = 22 grams, the value of spring constant K would

Pavel [41]

Answer:

If x₁=12 cm then k=1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm then k=1.4388 N/m

Explanation:

Hanging mass= 22 g=0.022 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81 m/s²

If x₁=displacement= 12 cm=0.12 m

k= spring constant

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=0.022\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow F=0.21582\ N$

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.012\\\Rightarrow k=1.7985\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.7985 N/m

If x₂=15 cm=0.15 m

Force of the hanging mass is same however the spring constant will change

$\text {For spring}\\F=kx\\\Rightarrow 0.21582=k\times 0.015\\\Rightarrow k=1.4388\ N/m\\$

∴k = 1.4388 N/m

As the mass is not changing the spring constant has to change. That means that here there are two spring one with k=1.7985 N/m and the other with k= 1.4388 N/m

(1.08×10-3)(9.3×10-4)

ira [324]

First you do the first parenthesis, (1.08 x 10 - 3) and you do it in the order of operations! (parenthesis, exponents, multiplication/division, add/subtract) to get 7.8. Then you take the second parenthesis (9.3 x 10 - 4) and do the same thing to get 89! You then times 7.8 by 89 to get 694.2! If it needs more elaboration just ask ^.^

As a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit. the current flowing through a resistor isa) increasingb) decreasingc) constant

Montano1993 [528]

<h2>Answer: decreasing</h2>

An RC circuit is an electrical circuit composed of resistors and capacitors, where the charging time $T$ of the circuit is proportional to the magnitude of the electrical resistance $R$ and the capacity $C$ of the capacitor.

As shown below:

$T=R.C$

In this context, the electrical resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons when moving through a conductor.

Therefore:

<h2>When a capacitor is being charged in an RC circuit, the current flowing through a resistor <u>decreases</u>.</h2>

And the correct option is b.
