There are too many batteries in the circuit, which increased the emf of the circuit and in turn increased the current in the circuit.

<h3>Current in the circuit</h3>

The current in the circuit is determined by applying Ohms law as shown below;

V = IR

where;

  • I is the current
  • V is the voltage
  • R is the resistance

I = V/R

At a constant resistance of the circuit, the current in a circuit will increase when the emf of the circuit increases.

Thus, we can conclude that, there are too many batteries in the circuit, which increased the emf of the circuit and in turn increased the current in the circuit.

The interior space of large box is kept at 30 C. The walls of the box are 3 m high and have a ‘sandwich’ construction consisting
White raven [17]

Answer:

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2}

T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C & T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C

Explanation:

Given:

  • interior temperature of box, T_i=30^{\circ}C
  • height of the walls of box, h=3\ m
  • thickness of each layer of bi-layered plywood, x_p=1.25\ cm=0.0125\ m
  • thermal conductivity of plywood, k_p=0.104\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • thickness of sandwiched Styrofoam, x_s=5\ cm=0.05\ m
  • thermal conductivity of Styrofoam, k_s=0.04\ W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
  • exterior temperature, T_o=0^{\circ}C

<u>From the Fourier's law of conduction:</u>

\dot Q=\frac{dT}{(\frac{x}{kA}) }

\dot Q=\frac{dT}{R_{th} } ....................................(1)

<u>Now calculating the equivalent thermal resistance for conductivity using electrical analogy:</u>

R_{th}=R_p+R_s+R_p

R_{th}=\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}+\frac{x_s}{k_s.A}+\frac{x_p}{k_p.A}

R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{x_p}{k_p}+\frac{x_s}{k_s}+\frac{x_p}{k_p})

R_{th}=\frac{1}{A} (\frac{0.0125}{0.104}+\frac{0.05}{0.04}+\frac{0.0125}{0.104})

R_{th}=\frac{1.4904}{A} .....................(2)

Putting the value from (2) into (1):

\dot Q=\frac{30-0}{\frac{1.4904}{A} }

\dot Q=\frac{30\ A}{1.4904}

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =20.129\ W.m^{-2} is the heat per unit area of the wall.

The heat flux remains constant because the area is constant.

<u>For plywood-Styrofoam interface from inside:</u>

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_p.\frac{T_i-T_1}{x_p}

20.129=0.104\times \frac{30-T_1}{0.0125}

T_1=27.58\ ^{\circ}C

&<u>For Styrofoam-plywood interface from inside:</u>

\frac{\dot Q}{A} =k_s.\frac{T_1-T_2}{x_s}

20.129=0.04\times \frac{27.58-T_2}{0.05}

T_2=2.41875\ ^{\circ}C

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.?
gladu [14]

Where they slide over each other.

Transform boundaries are formed or occur when two plates slide past each other in a sideways motion.  They do not tear or crunch into each other (but the rock in between them may be ground up) and therefore none of the spectacular features are seen such as occur in divergent and convergent boundaries.

In a transform boundary, neither plate is added to at the boundary nor destroyed.  They are marked in some places by features like  stream beds that have been split in half and the two halves moved in opposite directions.
