A wire of diameter 1 mm has a resistance of 0.5 . What is the resistance of another wire of the same material and the same leng

The second wire has 1/2 the <u>radius</u> of the first wire.  

Now the area of a circle is (A =π r²) ... the area changes in proportion to the SQUARE of the circle's radius.

So if you cut both wires exactly perpendicular to their lengths, and look at the circular end where the cut is, the second wire has only 1/4 the cross-section AREA of the first wire.  Current in the second wire is trying to squeeze through a pipe that only has 1/4 the space to carry it.

The resistance of a piece of wire-2 is 4 times the resistance of a piece of wire-1 with the same length.

The resistance of wire-2 is (4 x 0.5 ohm) = <em>2 ohms</em> .

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

Oceanic water particles mainly move in circles; is this movement greater on the ocean's surface or below the surface? Explain yo
goblinko [34]
I think that the oceanic water particles mainly move in circles greater in the oceans surface because of how big the waves can be and how wind and air impact the motion. The water particles move more on the surface because of the other factors that impact it such as people, wind, air, etc...
