Question: Figure shows a battery connected across a uniform resistor R-0. A sliding contact can move across the resistor from x = 0 at the left to x = 10 at the right. Moving the contact changes how much resistance is to the left of the contact and how much is to the right. Find the rate at which energy is dissipated in resistor as a function of x. Plot the function for ε=50V,R=2000Ω,andR0=100Ω, .

Answer:

The rate of the energy dissipated as a function of x is,
P=100×RxR02100RR0+10x-x22

Step by step solution

01

Given data:

Theresistor,R=2000ΩTheresistor,R0=100ΩThevoltage,ε=50V

02

Understanding the concept

First find the equivalent resistance and then determine the voltage V across the resistor R. Once you know the equivalent resistance and voltage, define power P using the following formula.

Formulae:

The voltage is define by,

V = IR

The power is define by,

P=V2R

03

Find the rate at which energy is dissipated in resistor R  as a function of x : 

The resistance of the resistor R0 connected in parallel with R . So,

R=R0xL

Now, define the equivalent resistance is as follow.

1R'=1R+1R1=1R+1R0xLR'=RR0xLR+R0xL

The equivalent resistance across R is,

Re=R01-xL+R'

Substitute RR0xLR+R0xL for R' in the above equation.

Re=R01-xL+RR0xLR+R0xL

The voltage across the resistor R is define as below.

VR=εzw3esR'Re=εRR0xLR+R0xLR01-xL+RR0xLR+R0xL

Now, determine the power dissipated in resistor R as follow.

P=VR2R=1RεRR0xLR+R0xLR01-xL+RR0xLR+R0xL2=1RεRR0xLR01-xL+R+R0xL+RR0xL2=L2RεxR02L2RR0+10x-x22

Substitute 10 cm for x and L ,50 V for ε. 2000Ω for R , and 100Ωfor R0 in the above equation.

P=10cm22000Ω50V10cm100Ω210cm22000Ω100Ω+1010cm-10cm22=1.125W

Step 4: Plot the function:

Here, you have assumed the values of x and from that the calculated power. And the graph of P vs X is plotted.
