Three resistors of equal resistance R are connected to a battery of voltage, V, as shown above. The current through and voltage across R1 are measured with the swich open. When the switch is thrown closed, the value of the voltage across R1: Increases, Decreases, Remains Constant, Cannot determine with the value of R1
@Shadow
hi pls help me im really lost in physics rn, i lost attention during the switch unit
._.
What, physics is eighth period. I'm either thinking about how much food I'm going to eat when I get home or what kind of ways I can avoid this boy on my bus
When switches are open, the flow is interrupted. When they are closed, the flow is allowed through. Think of it like a draw bridge.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, like a water pipe
I thought it would be decrease
Because if water flow were to be cut at the switch, there would be more water in the R1. But if it wasn't water would be equally distributed which makes the R1 water much smaller
if we were talking in water terms
Think of it like cars trying to cross the draw bridge
But the worksheet says Advanced Solving Practice so I doubt it's wrong
LMAOOOOO Wouldn't it be decrease nonetheless?
Why would it decrease if the switch is closed? When it's closed, the 'bridge' is down and cars are allowed to pass through.
When it's open and the draw bridge is up, cars can't pass through.
Aren't cars the voltage
if it was open, more cars in r1 =more voltage If it was closed, less cars in r1 due to equal distribution=less voltage
Well I don't know what picture the worksheet has for you with the resistors, I'm just laying down the logic of a switch. When it's open, no cars. When it's closed, cars are allowed.
oh
OH
So increase lmao
It depends on the picture.
I might be able to upload it, hold on
Never mind ):
Take a picture?
Or just snapchat it
