Problem. PS and PP are rates of energy dissipation in 3 resistors...

Problem
PS and PP are rates of energy dissipation in 3 resistors, when they are connected in series and in parallel respectively with some source of constant voltage. Let lowest resistance is known, r, 2nd resistance is greater then the first on the factor of N. What is the resistance of the 3rd resistor?
(a) Derive algebraic expression for the second resistance
and then
(b) use this expression to find numerical solution for the following data:
PS=1 W, PP=11 W, N=2, r=1Ω.

Solution:
/RP=PP
/RS=PS
R is 3rd resistance.
RS=r+Nr+R
1/RP=1/r+1/(Nr) +1/R
RP=1/( 1/r+1/(Nr) +1/R  )
PP/PS =RS/RP = RS·(1/RP)
PP/PS =RS/RP = (r+Nr+R)·( 1/r+1/(Nr) +1/R)
PP/PS=a
(r+Nr+R) (1/r+1/(Nr)+/R)=a



(1+N+R/r)(1+ 1/N + r/R) = a; Solve for x=R/r
R/r=x
PP/PS=a=11
11=(1+2+x)(1+1/2+1/x)
11=(3+x)(3/2+1/x)
11x=(3+x)(1.5x+1)

Solutions: x=3, x=2/3
R/r = 3

R=3·1Ω = 3Ω

Problem: PS and PP are rates of energy dissipation in two resistors, when they are connected in series and in parallel respectively with some source of constant voltage. Let lower resistance is known, r, what is resistance of another resistor?

Problem
PS and PP are rates of energy dissipation in two resistors, when they are connected in series and in parallel respectively with some source of constant voltage. Let lower resistance is known, r, what is resistance of another resistor?
(a) Derive algebraic expression for the second resistance
and then
(b) use this expression to find numerical solution for the following data:
PS=12 W, PP=54 W, r=1Ω.

Solution:
/R=P
RS=R+r
1/RP=1/R+1/r=(R+r) / (Rr)
RP=Rr/(R+r)
/RP=PP
/RS=PS
RS/RP=PP/PS
(R+r) / (Rr/(R+r)) = (R+r)²/Rr=PP/PS=a
(R+r)²/Rr=a
(R+r)²=aRr
(R/r+1)²=aR/r
R/r = x
(x+1)²=ax
x²+2x+1=ax
x²+2x-ax=-1
x²+2(1-a/2)x=-1
x²+2(1-a/2)x+(1-a/2)²=-1+(1-a/2)²
(  x+(1-a/2)  )² = -1+(1-a/2)²
x+(1-a/2) = ± (  -1+(1-a/2)²  )½
x=-(1-a/2) ± (  -1+(1-a/2)²  )½
x=(a/2 - 1) ± ( (a/2-1)²-1  )½
R/r =    (PP/PS)/2 – 1) ±  ((PP/PS)/2-1)²-1  )½
R = r·(   (PP/PS)/2 - 1) ± ( ((PP/PS)/2-1)²-1  )½ )
(a)        R = r·(   (PP/PS)/2 – 1) + ( ((PP/PS)/2-1)²-1  )½ )

(PP/PS)/2 - 1) = (54 W/12 W)/2-1
(PP/PS)/2 - 1) = (  9 / 2) /2-1 = 9/4 – 4/4 = 5/4
R = 1Ω ·(5/4 + (25/16-1) ½) = 1Ω ·(5/4 + (25/16-16/16) ½) = 1Ω ·(5/4 + (9/16) ½) = 1Ω ·(5/4 + ¾) = 1Ω ·(8/4) =2Ω

(b)  R = 2Ω

What is the resistance...


4. What is the resistance (R) of the resistor if the electric current (I) flowing through this resistor is equal to 2 A, and the electric potential (VL) on the left terminal of this resistor is 4 V and the electric potential (Vr) on the right terminal of this resistor is 10 V. Which is direction of the electric current through this resistor, toward left or right?
Vr - VL = ΔVr,l = -Ir,l R
-Ir,l R = (Vr - VL )

-Ir,l  = (Vr - VL )/R

Ir,l  = (VLVr )/R

 R = |(VLVr )/ Ir,l |

R  = |(4V – 10V )/2A| = 3 Ω

The electric current flows from greater potential, 10V, right, to the lower potential, 4V, left: toward to left.

1. Electric field (E) accelerates a charged droplet from the zero speed to the final speed (V1) of 8 m/s. What will be the final speed (V2) if the electric field is decreased by a factor of 4, but all other parameters of this accelerator are not changed?

The electric field is decreased by a factor of 4 means: E₂= E/4, E₂/E=1/4

Potential energy of electric field, U=E∙d∙q
Kinetik Energy, K=½mv²

U=K

E∙d∙q = ½mv₁²,
where d is the traveling distance of the droplet in the electric field, q is the droplet’s electric charge.

E₂∙d∙q = ½mv₂²

(E₂∙d∙q)/ (E₁∙d∙q) =  (½mv₂²)/(½mv₁²)

E₂/ E =  v₂²/v₁²

v₂² = v₁² ∙E₂/ E

v₂ = v₁ ∙(E₂/ E)1/2

v₂ = 8m/s ∙(1/4)1/2 = 8m/s ∙(1/2) = 8m/s  /2 = 4m/s
