9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

<h3>What is the relation between current and charge?</h3>

Mathematically, current = charge / time
In S.I. unit, Charge is written in Coulomb and time in second.

<h3>What is the amount of charge flown through a wire for one hour if it carries 0.4 A current?</h3>

Charge= current × time
Current= 0.4 A, time = 1 hour= 3600 s
Charge= 0.4× 3600

= 1440 C

<h3>How many numbers of electrons present in 1440C of charge?</h3>

One electron= 1.6 × 10^(-19) C
So, 1440 C = 1440/1.6 × 10^(-19)

= 9 × 10²¹ electrons

Thus, we can conclude that the 9 × 10²¹ electrons flow through a cross section of the wire in one hour.

A planet has a period of revolution about the sun equal to T and a mean distance from the sun equal to R. T2 varies directly as

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

T² ∝ R³

Explanation:

Given data,

The period of revolution of the planet around the sun, T

The mean distance of the planet from the sun, R

According to the III law of Kepler, " Law of Periods' states that the square of the orbital period to go around the sun once is directly proportional to the cube of the mean distance between the sun and the planet.

T² ∝ R³

$\frac{T^{2}}{R^{3}} = Constant$

From the above equation it is clear that T² varies directly as the R³.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,

Nikolay [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power consumed by toaster oven, $P=1.4\ kW$

Time taken, t = 6 minutes = 0.1 hour

Energy used by toaster, $W_{toaster}=P\times t$

$W_{toaster}=1.4\ kW\times 0.1\ h=0.14\ kWh$

Similarly,

Power consumed by toaster oven, $P=11\ W$

Time taken, t = 9 minutes = 0.15 hour

Energy used by toaster, $W_{toaster}=P\times t$

$W_{toaster}=11\ W\times 0.15\ h=1.65\ Wh=0.0016\ kWh$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. The very high voltage needed to create a spark across the spark plug is produced at the transformer's secondary winding. <span>The secondary coil is engulfed by a powerful and changing magnetic field. This field induces a current in the coils -- a very high-voltage current.</span>
