The current flowing in a wire is inversely proportional to the resistance of the wire. If the current is 5 amperes (A) when the resistance is 24 ohms ( $Ω$ ), for what resistance will the current be 8 amperes?

The sides a,b,c of a $△ A B C$ are in GP whose common ratio is $\frac{2}{3}$ and the circumradius of the triangle is $6 \sqrt{\frac{7}{209}}$ .Find the longest side of the triangle.
I used law of sines
$\frac{a}{\sin A} = \frac{b}{\sin B} = \frac{c}{\sin C} = 2 R$
I took $a = a, b = \frac{2}{3} a, c = {(\frac{2}{3})}^{2} a$
which gives
$\frac{\sin A}{\sin B} = \frac{\sin B}{\sin C}$
I am stuck now,how to find the longest side a

A circuit with a resistance of $6 Ω$ has a fuse that melts at 8A. Can a voltage of 42V be applied to the circuit without blowing the fuse?

The particle is falling down, and x is measured in down direction.
$x^{″} = g - k v^{4} ⟹ v \frac{d v}{d x} = g - k v^{4}$
Solving this I get
$\frac{1}{4 \sqrt{g k}} \log (\frac{\sqrt{k} v^{2} - \sqrt{g}}{\sqrt{k} v^{2} + \sqrt{g}}) = x + c$
It is falling from rest, i.e x=0,v=0, using this initial condition I get $\log (- 1)$ on the LHS. Is something wrong with the solution. I check that integral is correct.

Prove or Disprove that $| \frac{e^{2 i θ} - 2 e^{i θ} - 1}{e^{2 i θ} + 2 e^{i θ} - 1} | = 1$
This is a step in an attempt to solve a much larger problem, thus I'm fairly sure it's true but not absolutely sure. It looks like it should be simple but it's resisted all my attempts so far.

Ohm's law is represented by the equation $I = \frac{V}{R}$ . How would the current change if the amount of resistance decreased and the voltage stayed the same?

If a current of 5A passing through a circuit generates 450W of power, what is the resistance of the circuit?

How is the net resistance lesser than the least resistance when resistances are connected in parallel? The electrons will have to flow through one of the resistances, right? To me, it seems like the net resistance should be equal to the least resistance. Can someone please explain intuitively? (I know how the formula works)

A submarine of mass m is travelling at max power and has engines that deliver a force F at max power to the submarine. The water exerts a resistance force proportional to the square of the submarine's speed v.
The submarine increases its speed from $v_{1}$ to $v_{2}$ , show that the distance travelled in this period is $\frac{m}{2 k} \ln \frac{F - k v_{1}^{2}}{F - k v_{2}^{2}}$ where k is a constant.
I've found $\frac{d v}{d t} = \frac{1}{m} (F - k v^{2})$ using $\sum F = m a$ but I am struggling to progress further using integration or the fact that $\frac{d v}{d t} = v \frac{d v}{d x} = \frac{d}{d x} (\frac{1}{2} v^{2}) = \frac{d^{2} x}{d t^{2}}$ which is how I've been taught to solve resisted motion questions.

An oil pump is drawing 44 kW of electric power while pumping oil with ρ= 860 kg/m^3 at a rate of 0.1 m^3/s. The inlet and outlet diameters of the piper are 8 cm and 12 cm, respectively. If the pressure rise of oil in the pump is measured to be 500 kPa and the motor efficiency is 90 percent, determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.

A well-insulated rigid tank contains 3 kg of saturated liquid-vapor mixture of water at 200 kPa. Initially, three-quarters of the mass is in the liquid phase. An electric resistance heater placed in the tank is now turned on and kept on until all the liquid in the tank is vaporized. Determine the entropy change of the steam during this process. Answer: 11.1 kJ/K

The practical use of the electric current problems is met basically everywhere even if you are not majoring in Engineering. Take an example of data programming and the use of safety (data transfer) questions when the data is being transferred from place to place via cloud storage solutions. The same is related to automation and logistics where the electric current equation will help to calculate the limitations and the available resources. See some answers to the questions dealing with the electricity principles to get a better idea of how it works and compare the existing solutions to your task objectives!
