(a)

When the battery is short-cut, the only resistance in the circuit is the internal resistance of the battery. Therefore, we can apply Ohm's law:

where

V = 20 V is the voltage across the internal resistance of the battery

I = 18 A is the current flowing through it

Solving the equation,

(b) 360 W

The power generated by the battery is given by the equation

where

V = 20 V is the voltage of the battery

I = 18 A is the current

Substituting into the formula,

(c) 360 J

The energy dissipated by the internal resistance is given by

where

P = 360 W is the power generated

t = 1 s is the time

Solving the equation, we find

(d) 1.65 A

The battery is now connected to a resistor. This means that the internal resistance of the battery is now connected in series with the other resistor R: so, the total resistance of the circuit is

And so, the current flowing through the circuit is

(e) 29.9 W

The power dissipated in the external resistor is given by

where

I = 1.65 A is the current

is the resistance

Solving the equation, we find

(f) 18.17 V

The terminals of the voltmeter are placed at the two end of the battery. The battery provides an emf of 20 V, however due to the internal resistance, some of this voltage is dropped across the internal resistance. Therefore, the actual potential difference that will be read by the voltmeter will be:

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
