AI Thread Summary
A 10V potential difference applied across a resistance generates a current of 0.2 amps, indicating a resistance of approximately 50 ohms. The discussion centers on whether the current will change after 5 minutes with the voltage held constant. It is clarified that temperature is not a factor in this scenario. The expected current remains at 0.2 amps after 5 minutes, assuming no changes in the circuit conditions. This reinforces the principle that current remains constant in a resistive circuit under steady voltage conditions.

At exactly 1:00 pm on a certain day a 10 v potential difference is suddenly applied across a 'real' resistence and generates a current of 0.2 amps in the resistence. The value of the resistence at this moment is about 50 ohms. Let's say the 10 v are held constant and current is allowed to travel through the resistence for 5 minutes. At the end of the 5 minutes, the current in the 'real' resistence is expected to be what? this is not a trick question, temp is not a factor.

Is temp constant?

What are you getting at? Is this a trick question or a genuine enquiry?
 

Thread 'Why can't Solar panels be hemispherical, or a curved strip type?'

comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
