Answer is option (d) - (A and D only).

(A) Doubling the voltage and increasing the resistance by a factor of four.

(D) Doubling the current and reducing the resistance by a factor of four

Explanation:

According to Ohm's law, the electrical current, flowing through a conductor having a fixed resistance, is directly proportional to the voltage, applied across it and is inversely proportional to the resistance, i.e., V=IR .

The rate at which energy is produced or absorbed within an electrical circuit is known as the electrical power, . In a circuit, the energy source such as a voltage from the battery delivers power to the connected load such as a single resistor, light bulbs, etc. These loads absorb electrical power and convert it into heat or light or both.

The equations for calculating power are;

P=VI ......... (1)

$P=\frac{V^{2}}{R}$ .......... (2)

$P=I^{2} R$ .......... (3)

(i) In statement (A) of the question, it is given that the voltage is doubled, i.e., now the voltage is and the resistance is increased by a factor of four, i.e., now the resistance is .

Therefore, by applying the equation (2),

$P= \frac{(2V)^{2}}{4R} = \frac{4V^{2}}{4R} =\frac{V^{2}}{R}$ ......... (4)

From equation (4), it is clear that the power remains unchanged. So, the changes in voltage and current do not change the electric power dissipated in the resistor.

(ii) In statement (B) of the question, it is given that both the voltage and the current are doubled, i.e., now the voltage is and the current is .

Therefore, by applying the equation (1),

P=(2V)(2I)=4VI .............. (5)

From equation (5), it is clear that power is increased by a factor of four. So, the changes in voltage and current changes the electric power dissipated in the resistor.

(iii) In statement (C) of the question, it is given that the voltage is doubled, i.e., now the voltage is and the resistance is decreased by a factor of four, i.e., now the resistance is $\frac{R}{4}$ .

Therefore, by applying the equation (2),

$P= \frac{(2V)^{2}}{\frac{R}{4} } = \frac{4V^{2}}{\frac{R}{4}} =\frac{16V^{2}}{R}$ ......... (6)

From equation (6), it is clear that power is increased by a factor of sixteen. So, the changes in voltage and current changes the electric power dissipated in the resistor.

(iv) In statement (D) of the question, it is given that the current is doubled, i.e., now the current is and the resistance is decreased by a factor of four, i.e., now the resistance is $\frac{R}{4}$ .

Therefore, by applying the equation (3),

$P=(2I)^{2} *(\frac{R}{4} )=(4I^{2} )*(\frac{R}{4} )=I^{2} R$ ........ (7)

From equation (7), it is clear that the power remains unchanged. So, the changes in voltage and current do not change the electric power dissipated in the resistor.

Thus, the statements (A) and (D) are the correct answer.

Some material consisting of a collection of microscopic objects is kept at a high temperature. a photon detector capable of detecting photon energies from infrared through ultraviolet observes photons emitted with energies of 0.3 ev, 0.5 ev, 0.8 ev, 2.0ev, 2.5ev, and 2.8ev. these are the only photon energies observed. (a) draw and label a possible energy-level diagram for one of the microscopic objects, which has four bound states. on the diagram, indicate the transitions corresponding to the emitted photons. explain briefly. (b) would a spring–mass model be a good model for these microscopic objects? why or why not? (c) the material is now cooled down to a very low temperature, and the photon detector stops detecting photon emissions. next, a beam of light with a continuous range of energies from infrared through ultraviolet shines on the material, and the photon detector observes the beam of light after it passes through the material. what photon energies in this beam of light are observed to be significantly reduced in intensity (“dark absorption lines”)? explain briefly.
