An incredible amount of electrical energy passes down the funnel of a large tornado every second. Measurements taken in Oklahoma

at a distance of 9.00 km from a large tornado showed an almost constant magnetic field of 1.50 · 10 -8 T associated with the tornado. What was the average current going down the funnel? (µo = 4π · 10 -7 T·m/A)

Answer:

675 A

Explanation:

B = 1.5 x 10^-8 T

r = 9 km = 9000 m

Let the current be i

The formula for the magnetic filed due to a very long straight conductor is given by

$B =\frac{\mu_{0}}{4\pi }\times \frac{2i}{r}$

$1.5\times 10^{-8} =10^{-7}\times \frac{2i}{9000}$

i = 675 A

A 0.877 mol sample of N2(g) initially at 298 K and 1.00 atm is held at constant volume while enough heat is applied to raise the

MissTica

Answer : The value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Explanation : Given,

Moles of sample = 0.877 mol

Change in temperature = 15.7 K

First we have to calculate the heat absorbed by the system.

Formula used :

$q=n\times c_v\times \Delta T$

where,

q = heat absorbed by the system = ?

n = moles of sample = 0.877 mol

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 15.7 K

$c_v$ = heat capacity at constant volume of $N_2$ (diatomic molecule) = $\frac{5}{2}R$

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

Now put all the given value in the above formula, we get:

$q=0.877mol\times \frac{5}{2}\times 8.314J/mol.K\times 15.7K$

$q=286.2J$

Now we have to calculate the change in internal energy of the system.

$\Delta U=q+w$

As we know that, work done is zero at constant volume. So,

$\Delta U=q=286.2J$

Therefore, the value of $q\text{ and }\Delta U$ is 286.2 J and 286.2 J respectively.

Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North. She stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometers East. What distance did she cove

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Explanation:

Given that,

Christina drives his moped 7 kilometers North and stop for lunch and then drive 5 km east.

We need to calculate the total distance

Using formula of distance

$d=d_{1}+d_{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$d=7+5$

$d=12\ km$

We need to calculate the magnitude of displacement

Using formula of displacement

$D=xi+yj$

$D=5i+7j$

$D=\sqrt{5^2+7^2}$

$D= 8.6\ km$

The direction of her displacement is north east.

Hence, She covers the distance is 12 km.

The magnitude of displacement is 8.6 km.

The direction of her displacement is north east.

A large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted the voltage to 385 kV. The secondary of

enot [183]

Answer:

a) In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new output is 86% of the old output

c) The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.

Explanation:

a) To relate the turns of primary and secondary to the ratio of voltage we have this expression:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}$

In the old transformer the ratio of voltages was:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{385} =0.03117\\\\n_2=n_1/0.03117=32.1n_1$

In the new transformer the ratio of voltages is:

$\frac{n_1}{n_2}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{12}{500} =0.024\\\\n_2=n_1/0.24=41.7n_1$

In the new transformer there are 42 turns in the secondary per turn in the primary, while in the old transformer there were 32 turns per turn in the primary.

b) The new current ratio is

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{500}= 0.024\\\\I_2=0.024I_1$

If the old current output was 425 kV, the ratio of current was:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{I_2}{I_1}=\frac{12}{425}= 0.028\\\\I_2=0.028I_1$

Then, the ratio of the new output over the old output is:

$\frac{I_{2new}}{I_{2old}} =\frac{0.024\cdot I_1}{0.028\cdot I_1}= 0.86$

The new output is 86% of the old output (smaller output currents lower the losses on the transmission line).

c) The power loss is expressed as:

$P_L=I^2\cdot R$

Then, the ratio of losses is (R is constant for both power losses):

$\frac{P_n}{P_o} =\frac{I_n^2R}{I_o^2R} =(\frac{I_n}{I_o} )^2=0.86^2=0.74$

The losses in the new line are 74% the losses in the old line.
