Relationship

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on understanding the relationship between voltage and resistance in a series circuit. Ohm's law is highlighted, stating that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). Participants seek clarification on whether the inquiry pertains to measuring voltage with a voltmeter or understanding the current flow. The conversation emphasizes the fundamental principles of circuit theory. Overall, the relationship between voltage and resistance is clearly defined by Ohm's law.

do you mean a voltmeter? what sort of relationship do you mean - current through it, or what?

Well Ohm’s law states V=I*R. Where V is the voltage, I is the current, and R is the resistance.

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
