2 resistors of resistances 150 ohms and 5000 ohms respectively are in series with each other. They both are also in parallel with a 1000 ohm resistor. What is the total resistance?

Firstly, you should start by working out the total resistance for the 150 ohm and 5000 ohm resistors which are in series: -In series the total resistance is given as the ...

An isotope of 238,92-Uranium decays into a stable isotope of 206,82-Lead through a series of alpha and beta decays, how many of each does it go through?

This is a good example of where simplification can make an otherwise tricky question a lot easier. It is easy to get confused trying to work out different isotopes and the extra products of the decays, bu...

Which are the types of carrier movements and how are they activated

Drift - As a result of an electric field

Diffusion - As a result of a carrier gradient, by other words a difference in the carrier level from one side to the other, usually when we have a p-n junct...

How, given the threshold frequency and the kinectic enery of a photon, do you determine the frequency of the phton?

You can use E= hfo + KE and E=hf (Einstien's equations) to work how the frequency of a photon, where fo is the threshold frequency and h is Planck's constant.

A ball is thrown up with an initial velocity of 8 m/s and initial height of 1.5m above the ground. Calculate the maximum height the ball reaches and the time it takes to get there.

Travelling upwards

u = 8m/s     v = 0 m/s      a  = -9.8m/s       S = ?        t = ?

v = u + at                                      v= u2 + 2a(S - 1.5)
