- The current ( in amperes) at time t ( in seconds) flowing in the circuit in Figure is given by Kirchhoff 's Law: i(t) = Cv(t) + R-1 v(t) where v(t) is the voltage (in volts, V ), C the capacitance (in farads, F ), and R the resistance ( in ohms, Q ). Calculate the current at t = 3 if v(t) = 0.5t + 4 V where C = 0.01 F and R = 100 ohm.arrow_forwardsq 4. Maximum surface resistance. Consider a square sheet of side L, thickness d, and electrical resistivity p. The resistance measured between opposite edges of the sheet is called the surface resistance: R = pL/ Ld = p/d, which is independent of the area of the sheet. (R is called the resistance per square and is expected in ohms per square, because p/d has the dimensions of ohms.) If we express p by p=m/ne²t, then Rq=m/ndet. Suppose now that the minimum value of the collision time is determined by scattering from surfaces of the sheet, so that Td/v, where v is the Fermi velocity. Thus the maximum surface resistivity is Rmvp/nd²e².

- An electric current in a conductor varies with time according to the expression I(t) = 100 sin (120πt), where I is in amperes and t is in seconds.

In this equation, V is a constant voltage, I is the current in amperes, and R is the resistance in ohms. Your firm has been asked to supply the resistors for a circuit in which V will be 120 volts and I is to be 5 { 0.1 amp.

So if it's V/A and if you divide them to get the slope it's (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) then shouldn't V be the y value and A be the x value?

The resistance can be calculated from the slope by knowing: R = 1 m The fractional uncertainty in the slope is equivalent to the fractional uncertainty in the resistance: AR R = Am m Calculate the uncertainty in the resistance, AR in units of (ohms), then enter the raw value (no units) into the box below.

Find the current that corresponds to a maximum value of P in a battery for which V = 12 volts and R = 0.5 ohm. Assume that a 15-ampere fuse bounds the output in the interval 0 ≤ I ≤ 15.
