Two resistors are to be combined to form an equivalent resistance of 1000 Ω. The resistors are taken from available stock on hand as acquired over the years. Readily available are two common resistors rated at 500 ± 50 Ω and two common resistors rated at 2000 ± 100 Ω. (a) Calculate the uncertainties for both combinations. (b) What combination of resistors (series or parallel) would provide the smaller uncertainty in an equivalent 1000 Ω resistance?

Considering the $(500 \pm 50 \Omega)$ impedance combination. Connection between series.

Considering the first pairing.

$\to R_1 = 500+ 50= 550 \Omega \\\\ \to R_2= 550 \Omega\\\\$

Determine the corresponding resistance.

$\to R_{eq} = R_1 +R_2 = 550 + 550 =1100 \Omega\\\\$

This uncertainty is $(1000+10\%)$ in this case. Find the second pairing.

$\to R_1 = 500 - 50 = 450 \ \Omega\\\\ \to R_2 = 500 - 50 = 450 \ \Omega\\\\$

Determine the corresponding resistance.

$\to R_{eq}=R_1+R_2= 450 +450 = 900 \ \Omega\\\\$

Its ambiguity is $(1000 - 10\%)$ in this case. The total uncertainty form $1000 \ \Omega$ of the resistors $(500 \pm 50 \Omega)$ is $(1000\pm 10\%)$ .

A parallel connection of resistances is not considered in this case since it introduces a significant uncertainty in the needed resistance values.

Considering a combination of $(2000 \pm 5\% \Omega)$ resistances. Connecting in parallel. Take the first pairing.

$\to R_1 = 2000+ 5\% = 2000+100= 2100 \ \Omega\\\\\to R_2 = 2000+ 5\% = 2000+100= 2100 \ \Omega\\\\$

Determine the corresponding resistance.

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2} =\frac{1}{2100}+\frac{1}{2100}= \frac{1+1}{2100}=\frac{2}{2100}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{2}{2100}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{2100}{2}= 1050 \ \Omega\\\\$

Its uncertainty in this case is $(1000 \ \Omega + 5\%)$ . Find the second pairing.

$\to R_1 = 2000- 5\% = 2000-100= 1900 \ \Omega\\\\\to R_2 = 2000- 5\% = 2000-100= 1900 \ \Omega\\\\$

Determine the corresponding resistance.

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2} =\frac{1}{1900}+\frac{1}{1900}= \frac{1+1}{1900}=\frac{2}{1900}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{2}{1900}\\\\R_{eq}=\frac{1900}{2}= 950 \ \Omega\\\\$

The uncertainty is present here $(1000 \Omega -5\%)$ . Its overall variance form $1000 \ \Omega$ of the resistors $(2000 \Omega + 5\%)$ is $(1000 \ \Omega + 5\%)$ .

This parallel connection of resistance values is not addressed here since it introduces a significant uncertainty in the needed resistance values.

As just a result, the lowest uncertainty is now in the parallel combination of the resistances $(2000 \Omega + 5\%)$ .

Two resistors are to be combined to form an equivalent resistance of 1000 Ω. The resistors are taken

Answer from: winterblanco

Even though each of 2000 ohms resistor has twice the uncertainty of a 500 ohms resistor, the parallel circuit has half the uncertainty of the series circuit

Thus, the PARALLEL CIRCUIT would be more accurate

answer: d. a cme increases the amount of energy in the solar wind

explanation:

coronal mass ejections, also called cmes, are large clouds of plasma and magnetic field that erupt from the sun. only when the cloud is aimed at earth will the cme hit earth and therefore cause impacts. high-speed solar wind streams come from areas on the sun known as coronal holes.

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
