Answer:

initially- with positive potential differences - the current is directly proportional to the p.d. However, as the current through the filament increases, the heating effect caused in the lamp also increases and so the temperature of the filament rises. This increase in the filament's temperature also increases the resistance of the filament. As a result the rate of increase of the current decreases and a greater change in the potential difference is required to cause a change in the current. This can be seen on the curve as the gradient becomes more shallow (greater resistance). This same pattern is repeated when a negative potential difference is applied across the filament

Density=mass/volume
to find the density
mass=42kg
volume=22m3
so density=42/22
density=1.9Kgm3

Typical Pressurized Water Reactors can produce 1100 to 1500

lozanna [386]

Answer: about 1,100,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 Joules/second

Explanation:

1 MW (megawatt) = 1,000,000.00 J/s (joules per second)

1100(1,000,000) = 1,100,000,000

1500(1,000,000) = 1,500,000,000

Sladkaya [172]

Coulombs law says that the force between any two charges depends on the amount of charges and distance between them. This force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the two charges and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

$F=k\frac{|q_1| |q_2|}{r^2}$
