Answer to Problem 1PLA

Option (c) the current is in phase with the voltage.

Explanation of Solution

For a resistance in series with an alternating current circuit, the direction of the flow of current is not changed due to the resistance. Therefore, the phase of the voltage and the current will be the same.

In other words, the current and voltage raise at the same time and falls at the same time. The minimum and maximum of the current and voltage will be the same.

Conclusion:

  1. (a) Current does not lead the voltage. Thus, option (a) is incorrect.
  2. (b) Voltage does not lead the current. Thus, option (b) is incorrect.
  3. (c) The current and the voltage are in phase with each other. Thus, option (c) is correct.
  4. (d) Option (c) is correct. Therefore, option (d) is incorrect.

Consider the arrangement of charges shown in the figure. Four charges of equal magnitude Q but varying sign are placed at the corners of a square as indicated. A positive charge q is placed in the center. What is the direction of the net force, if any, on the center charge? Indicate your answer by placing the appropriate label in the first box. Then, suppose that the charge q were to be displaced slightly from the center position. On the figure, label each box with the arrow that best indicates the direction of the net force that would act on q if it were moved to that location. Net Force Answer Bank no force ↑ +2 0 -Q -Q +Q
