Click For Summary
Negligible resistance indicates that a battery functions as an ideal DC voltage source, maintaining a constant voltage at its terminals regardless of the current drawn. The initial answer of 6J is incorrect. The correct answer is 4J, as confirmed in the discussion. This highlights the importance of understanding the implications of negligible resistance in electrical circuits. The conversation emphasizes clarity in interpreting voltage and power calculations.

why is answer for (6a)6J?
Negligible resistance means that the battery is a perfect source of DC voltage. The voltage at it's terminals is constant regardless of the current drawn.

The answer is not 6J.

Thread 'Bernoulli vs real life experiment'

If have close pipe system with water inside pressurized at P1= 200 000Pa absolute, density 1000kg/m3, wider pipe diameter=2cm, contraction pipe diameter=1.49cm, that is contraction area ratio A1/A2=1.8 a) If water is stationary(pump OFF) and if I drill a hole anywhere at pipe, water will leak out, because pressure(200kPa) inside is higher than atmospheric pressure (101 325Pa). b)If I turn on pump and water start flowing with with v1=10m/s in A1 wider section, from Bernoulli equation I...
