A loop circuit has a resistance of R1 and a current of 2 A. The current is reduced to 1.5 A when an additional 1.6 Ω resistor is added in series with R1. What is the value of R1? Assume the internal resistance of the source of emf is zero. Answer in units of Ω.

R1 = 4.8Ω

Explanation:

The loop circuit has an initial voltage of  V = IR

I = 2 A , R1 = R

V = 2R1

with the current reduced to 1.5A with an additional 1.6Ω resistor

the total resistance of the circuit is 1.6 + R1

the voltage of the two scenarios has to be equal , since the same voltage flows through the circuit

therefore V = 2R1

from Ohms law V = IR

2R1= 1.5 (1.6 + R1)

2R1 = 2.4 + 1.5R1

collecting like terms

2R1 - 1.5R1 = 2.4

0.5R1 = 2.4

R1 =

R1 = 4.8Ω

1 - wave length

2 - amplitude

3 - crest

4 - trough

explanation:

duh.

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy

hope that                                         : )
