4πεoq2r

B.

qr/4πεo

C.

q/4πεor

Calculate the current in the 3Ω resistor shown in
the diagram above.

A.

3.0A

B.

4.0A

C.

4.3A

D.

12.0A

E.

39.0A

Correct answer is B

Total Resistance R = 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
R = 12/13Ω
V = IR = (12/13) x 13 = 12v
1 across 3Ω = V/R = 12/3 = 4A

Given that the gravitational constant is 7 X 10-11 Nm2kg-2, what is the force of attraction between 106kg mass of lead hanging one metre away from a 103kg mass of iron?

A.

7 x10-20N

B.

7 x 10-5N

C.

7 x10-2N

D.

7 x103N

E.

7x100N

Correct answer is C

F =
Gm1m2/r2
=
7 x 10-11 x 106 x 103/1m
= 7 x 10-2
