There are devices to put in a light socket that control the current through a lightbulb, thereby increasing its lifetime. Which

of the following strategies would increase the lifetime of a bulb without making it dimmer? A. Reducing the average current through the bulb B. Limiting the maximum current through the bulb C. Increasing the average current through the bulb D. Limiting the minimum current through the bulb

Answer: B

Explanation:

Limiting the maximum current through the bulb. This will help in preserving or improving the bulb's lifetime and also this won't have an effect on the brightness of the bulb as brightness is affected by the average value. Although brightness is a factor of current, reducing the maximum current won't have any bearing on the average current the bulb is getting.

a film of transparent material 120 nm thick and having refractive index 1.25 is placed on a glass sheet having refractive index
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a) 600nm

b) 300nm

Explanation:

the path difference = 2t  

t = thickness of the film

L' = wavelength of light in film = L/n

L = wavength of light in air

n = refractive index of glass

(a)

for destructive interference 2t = L'/2 = L/2n

L = 4*t*n

= 4*120*10^-9*1.25  

L = 600 nm

(b)

for constructive interference 2t = L' = L/1.25

L = 2tn

= 2 × 1.25 ×  120nm

= 300 nm

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data,

E= 3 ×10 ⁶ Δx=0.06/100

We have to find the minimum potential difference

E= -ΔV/Δx

ΔV=- E × Δx

ΔV =-3 ×10 ⁶ . 0.06/100

ΔV=-1800 V

The minimum potential difference must be supplied by the ignition circuit to start a car is -1800 V

Honey bees can acquire a small net charge on the order of 1 pC as they fly through the air and interact with plants. Estimate th
Inessa [10]

Answer:

F = 2.01*10^-16N -^k

Explanation:

In order to calculate the magnetic force perceived by the bee, you use the following formula:

F=qv\ X\ B            (1)

q: charge of the bee = 1pC = 1*10^-12 C

The average speed of a bee and the magnetic field of the earth are:

v = 6.70m/s

B = 30*10^-6 T

The bee is flying to the west (-^i). You consider that the magnetic field direction is to the north (^j). Then, the direction of the magnetic force is:

-^i X ^j = -^k

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1), in order to calculate the magnitude of the force:

|F|=qvB=(1*10^{-12}C)(6.70m/s)(30*10^{-6}T)=2.01*10^{-16}N

The magnetic force perceived by the bee is 2.01*10^-16N in the -^k direction, that is, toward the ground

A circuit is made of 0.4 ohm wire, 150 ohm bulb and a 120ohm rheo stat connected inseries. Determine the total resistance of the
UNO [17]
Answer:
Total resistance of the circuit is 270.4 ohm

Explanation:
We are given that:
resistance of wire = 0.4 ohm
resistance of bulb = 150 ohm
resistance of rheostat = 120 ohm

We are also given that these components are connected in series. This means that the total resistance is summation of all the series components.

Therefore
Total resistance = 0.4 + 150 + 120 = 270.4 ohm

Hope this helps :)
