Io = 1.6 V/16 ohms = 10 A = 100mA ---> this is how it must have been worked out.

Io is actually initial current (yes, max. current). But what i don't understand over here is how do we get 1.6V - isn't it supposed to be 12 V as clearly stated in the question?

I think it is a misprint.
Yea, exactly. I dont get why is it 1.6 :S
Hmm, i guess then it is a misprint.

^Oh thanks for the clarification.
I thought m about to fail physics :P


Good luck everyone!

Please help SZM here asap!!


\To identify the amplitude and wavelength in a displacement-time graph for a longitudinal wave is the same way as how we identify the amplitude and wavelength in a displacement-time graph for a transverse wave. Am i correct dear???

the diagram u r giving is the displacement versus distance and not time/// Are the graph of displacement-time graph and displacement-distance graph same?????

the amplitude of a longitudinal wave is a maximum displacement of any point on the wave from the equilibrium position .--- when they say any point, that means any point in rarefraction as well as compression region?? what do they mean by at any point?? 

The equilibrium position of a longitudinal wave is at the middle point of a rarefraction and compression area. AM i correct ??

Waitn 4 ur reply asap.

Hello guys, pls solve my doubtfuls-

1. Is it not a correct answer in terms of PHYSICS, that newton's third law tells us that actions usually have a reaction?? if not pls tel me why along with their reason???

2. if air resistance is neglected, the horizontal velocity component of an arrow fired from a bow stays constant at a non-zero value. If air resistance is not neglected and is acting on the arrow, then the horizontal velocity component of an arrow fired from a bow will increase/decrease with distance travelled????

3. What happens to the velocity of a ball bearing falling from rest through syrup with distance fallen??? My answer is the velocity of the ball bearing will decrease withe distance fallen, becoz the syrup has higher viscosity. Therefore velocity will decrease. But my answer is wrong. the correct answer is it increases from zero to a maximum.How is dat?? explain me in details clearly.

4. If the height above the Moon's surface increases, what happens to the acceleration of a feather falling near to the Moon's surface??? If ur answer is constant, tel me how is dat ??  Why cant the acceleration increases with increasing the height???

5. steel can be classified as a strong materials, because it has a large young modulus value. But the markschemes says it is wrong. the correct answer is , it is because it has a large ultimate tensile stress value. Why my answer is wrong??

6. Modern cars include crumple zones to reduce the size of the impact force. Suggest how the crumpole zones do this????

7. what do u mean by the stiffness??? the type of materials//// am i correct??

8. when unloading the chest expander, it is found that at each extension the restoring force is always less than the loading force. Explain the significance of this, and describe what effect this would have on the rubber cords when performing a large number of repetitions with the expander??? pls explain me in details clearly.


Hope I will get clear explanation for the above doubtfuls. IN SHAA ALLAH.

Thanx in advance. Wasalaam

1. Actions always have a reaction. http://theeducationchannel.info/Newtons-Third-Law-for-a-Book-on-a-Table_v1303
2. decreases. Resistance always acts to slow down
3. When ball starts to fall, fluid resistance is zero since it increases with speed, zero at the start. The only force acting is the weight of the ball bearing.  As ball speeds up, resistance increases until it is equal to the weight. There is no net force on the ball bearing so acceleration is zero. The ball has reached terminal velocity.
4. Constant acceleration is only an approximation. In fact a=GM/r^2 so as r increases a decreases.
5. large young's modulus means stiff not strong. Strong means ability to withstand stress.
6. crumple zones absorb energy and reduce the magnitude of acceleration. Since F=ma, F is also reduced.
7.stiffness is resistance to stretching when a force is applied.
8.this is hysterisis. Work must be done to expand and compress the expander. With each cycle the expander heats up a little.

(i) No, photons do not have mass, but they do have momentum. The proper, general equation to use is E2 = m2c4 + p2c2 So in the case of a photon, m=0 so E = pc or p = E/c.

(ii) Photon is a discrete bundle (or quantum) of electromagnetic (or light) energy.

Hello members, can u pls solve my confusion immediately//

what is resistance/// In textbuk, it says the resistance is caused when the free-mobile delocalized electrons, which are mobiling to and fro, collide with the electrons that are orbiting around its orbitals of the metal lattice atoms, causes the resistance.
               THAT MEANS WHEN they both collide, there is a repulsive forces between them due to like charges, so this causes them to repel each other and move apart with small/large distance. That depends on the way they collide and the amount of repulsive force they contain. The distance that they move apart is considered as a space, where the charged particles, which is the current, can flow easily without any difficulty. But this happens only when the temperature has increased not decreased / at room temperature.
Because when they collide, they both produce/feel repulsive forces, this repulsive forces is dependant. Because with higher temperature, more free-delocalized electrons and the electrons that are orbiting around the atoms, gain more kinetic energy and are excited state and unstable state and therefore they move at higher speed randomly and they both will collide with each other frequently with short period of time during collision, but they will feel very less repulsive forces, because both carry high amount of kinetic energy. So this gives more space for the flow of charged particles to move easily, hence this decreases the resistance.

Is my explanation correct?? May I know resistance is present in every electrical component? Is there any other electrical component, which does not have resistance?? if there is no, can u tel me why there is no resistance in any electrical component only few?? Can I relate the concept of friction to this concept?? when they collide, they cause resistance. But how?? 

may I know how charged particles produce magnetic field, when charged particles are moving through the conducting wire??
Normally a point charge either could be a positively charge or a negatively charge, they both will create their electric field// am I right??

so when a point charge creates an electric field, this point charge starts to accelerate and according to newton second law, this point charge produces the force. But i dont know how the charged particles produces the magnetic field and why do they form in a circular form, which is a magnetic field, around the conducting wire?

May I know when a point charge creates an electric field, which is a region of space, how can the point charge starts to accelerate through the field??? when a point charge creates the electric field and if we place another point charge on this field, then that charge can accelerate but NOT the point charge, the one who creates the electric field. AM i correct? So again here confusion, how a point charge is accelerating when this point charges creates an electric field??/

Sir what is electromotive force? It is the force, that pushes the electrons which carry negative charges inside the battery/power supply to move through the circuit. AM i correct??

Sir why in textbuks says, that the current flows from positive terminals to the negative terminal, which is called the conventional current?? Just image the proton carries positive charge and it is inside the nucleus of the atom. So how can the protons move through the circuit, when the electrons, which are too small in size, can move freely???

Sir when I asked myself what is the current, the textbuk says it is the flow of charged particles, that means the flow of electrons or the flow of protons??? If u say flow of electrons, why the protons cannot move, even though they carry charge// Maybe u would say that they are located in the nucleus , which seems to be far away when compare to the location of electron. Am I correct??

Sir electron and proton, they both carry charge// Right. So what does the charge contains?? I mean i know that proton carries positive charge and electron carries negative charge, but I want to know what does these charge contain? if there is no such description for that, its alright.

Need ur reply urgently//

If u dont know, pls can any one of the member inform this confusion to Sir astarmathandphysics immediately. Pls help me .. plssssssssssssssssssssssss
