Concept explainers
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
Question
Question 14

Transcribed Image Text:13) A bird lands on a bare copper wire carrying a
current of 32A. The wire has a cross sectional area of
0.13 cm². Find the difference in potential between the
bird's feet, assuming they are separated by a distance of
6 cm.
resistivity of copper = 1.7 x 10-8
14) What is the minimum number of 65 Ohm resistors
that must be connected in parallel to produce an
equivalent resistance of 11 Ohms or less?
15) A 12V battery is connected to three capacitors in
series. The capacitors have the following capacitance:
4.5 UF, 12 uF, and 32 uF, Find the voltage across
the 32 uF capacitor.
16) A particle enters a magnetic field in the positive x
direction. The Magnetic field points in the positive z
direction. The particle feels a force in the positive y
direction. Is the charge on the particle positive or
negative?
17) A 0.32 uC particle moves with a speed of 16 m/s
through a region where the magnetic field has strength
of 1 T. At what angle to the field is the particle moving
if the force exerted on it is 4.8 x 10-6 Newtons?
