Get started for freeAn idealized voltmeter is connected across the terminals of abattery, and arole="math" localid="1655719696009" appliance is also connected across its terminals. If the voltmeter reads (a) how much power is being dissipated by the appliance, and (b) what is the internal resistance of the battery?
Could an accelerator be built in which all the forces on the particles, for steering and for increasing speed, are magnetic forces? Why or why not?
The potential difference across the terminals of a battery is 8.40 V when there is a current of 1.50 A in the battery from the negative to the positive terminal. When the current is 3.50 A in the reverse direction, the potential difference becomes10.20 V . (a) What is the internal resistance of the battery? (b) What is the emf of the battery?
In a cyclotron, the orbital radius of protons with energy is . You are redesigning the cyclotron to be used instead for alpha particles with energy . An alpha particle has charge and mass . If the magnetic filed isn't changed, what will be the orbital radius of the alpha particles?
We have seen that a coulomb is an enormous amount of charge; it is virtually impossible to place a charge of 1 C on an object. Yet, a current of is quite reasonable. Explain this apparent discrepancy.
