Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
- Resistance (R₁) = 2 Ω
- Resistance (R₂) = 4 Ω
- Potential difference (V) = 6 V
- Time taken (t) = 5 s
- Heat energy dissipated
→ First we have to find the effective resistance of the circuit.
→ Since the resistors are connected in series, the effective resistance is given by
R = R₁ + R₂
→ Substituting the data,
R = 2 + 4
R = 6 Ω
→ Hence the effective resistance of the circuit is 6 Ω
→ Now we have to find the current flowing in the circuit.
→ By Ohm's law we know that,
V = I R
→ Substitute the data
6 = I × 6
I = 6/6
I = 1 A
→ Hence the current flowing through the circuit is 1 Ampere.
→ Now the heat energy produced is given by Joule's law,
H = I² R t
→ Substituting the data,
H = 1² × 6 × 5
H = 30 J
→ Hence the heat energy dissipated is 30 J
→ The effective resistance when resistors are connected in series is given by,
→ The effective resistance when resistors are connected in parallel is given by,
Resistance (R₁) = 2 Ω
Resistance (R₂) = 4 Ω
Potential difference (V) = 6 V
Time taken (t) = 5 s
Total resistance in series (R) = R₁+R₂
R = 2Ω + 4Ω
R = 6 Ω
