Question
Find the currents through the three reaiators shown in figure.
✓
Answer
- Current through (1) $4\Omega$ resistor = 0
- Current through (2) and (3)
net E = 4V - 2V = 2V
(2) and (3) are in series,
$\text{R}_\text{eff}=4+6=10\Omega$
$\text{i}=\frac{2}{10}=0.2\text{A}$
Current through (2) and (3) are 0.2A.

Consider an excited hydrogen atom in state n moving with a velocity u(ν << c). It emits a photon in the direction of its motion and changes its state to a lower state m. Apply momentum and energy conservation principles to calculate the frequency ν of the emitted radiation. Compare this with the frequency ν0 emitted if the atom were at rest.
