A 100-cm-long copper wire of radius 0.50 cm has a potential difference across it sufficient to produce a current of 3.0 A at 20°C. (a) What is the potential difference? (b) If the temperature of the wire is increased to 200°C, what potential difference

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

Using Kirchhoff’s rules, (a) find the current in each resistor shown in Figure P18.23 and (b) find the potential difference between points c and f.|dw:1426727327399:dw|

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

Could anyone give me a hand on this ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to do the too kirchov loops

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*two

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

counterclockwise ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesn't matter as long as your consistant

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

in this case Esub n doesn't have resistance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

70 +2000I + 3000(I2) -60 loop one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

60-3000(I2) + 80 + 4000(I3)

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

E1 + I1*r1 + I2 *r2 -E2 =0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is is dependent on which way the battery is pointed , but you get the idea

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

you mean if the current enter (-) or (+) into the battery ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah because of the law that the currents going into a joint equalls the current out of a joint

OpenStudy (rock_mit182):

what i don't get is: -3000I2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a 3000 ohm resistor that has a different current i2 . Ill draw it one sec
