Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<h3>When a cold alcohol thermometer is placed in a hot liquid, the following takes place.</h3>
  1. The glass of thermometer expands because of the heat so the column of alcohol goes down.
  2. After some time, the heat travels to alcohol and then alcohol expands.
<h3><u>So, Reason why alcohol goes down first:</u></h3>

Alcohol first goes slightly down because of the expansion of the glass of thermometer before doing up.

Lana71 [14]
In a cathode ray tube, the number of electrons that reach the fluorescent screen is controlled by the grid. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "B".When current is supplied to the heater, it causes the cathode to emit electrons. The electrons pass through opening of the grid before reaching the anode. By controlling the number of electrons passing through the grid, the number of electrons reaching the anode can also be controlled.<span>

If electrical current is moving through a horizontal wire toward your face, what direction is the induced magnetic field?
adoni [48]

Answer:(b)

Explanation:

Given

Electric current flowing through the horizontal wire towards the observer's face.

The direction of the magnetic field is given by the right-hand thumb rule, i.e. place the thumb in the direction of current and the wrapping of fingers will give the direction of the magnetic field

the direction of the magnetic field will be counterclockwise as observed by an observer.

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

B) along the -z-axis.

Explanation:

  • According to the Fleming's left hand rule we know that when a positive charge moves with velocity v perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field the it experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to the the plane in which the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector lies.
  • As a result all the three vector are mutually perpendicular in such a case.
  • Here as per given condition we have a negative charge moving along x-axis which experiences the deflection in -y direction so the magnetic field will be along the negative z axis i.e. into the screen.

what happens to a circuits resistance, voltage, and current when you increase the diameter of the wire in the circuit?
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Option D.

Resistance (R) decreases

Voltage (V) is constant

Current (I) increases

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing an equation relating resistance and diameter of a wire. This is given below:

R = ρL/A ......... (1)

A = πr² (since the wire is circular in shape)

r = d/2

A = πr² = π(d/2)²

A = πd²/4

Substitute the value of A into equation 1

R = ρL/A

R = ρL ÷ A

R = ρL ÷ πd²/4

R = ρL × 4/πd²

R = 4ρL /πd²

Where:

R is the resistance of the wire.

ρ is the resistivity of the wire.

L is the length of the wire.

A is the cross sectional area of the wire.

r is the radius.

d is the diameter of the wire

From equation (1) above, we can say that the resistance (R) is inversely proportional to the square of the diameter of the wire. This implies that an increase in the diameter of the wire will result in a decrease of the resistance. Also, a decrease in the diameter of the wire will result in an increase in the resistance of the wire.

1. Since the diameter of the wire is increase, therefore, the resistance of the wire will decrease.

2. From ohm's law,

V = IR

Divide both side by I

R = V/I

Where:

R is the resistance

V is the voltage

I is the current

From the above equation, the resistance (R) is directly proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the current (I).

If we keep the voltage constant, this means that an increase in the resistance will lead to a decrease in the current. Also, a decrease in the resistance will lead to an increase in the current.

Since the resistance of the wire decrease, the current will increase.

From the illustrations made above, an increase in the diameter of the wire will lead to:

1. Decrease in resistance.

2. Voltage is constant.

3. Increase in current.
