The old style (incandescent) light bulb converts more energy
into heat than it does into light.  If you're using it mainly as a
source of light, then it's a bummer, and its efficiency is very low. 
BUT ... if you're using an incandescent light bulb as a heater, then
its efficiency is much better.  It all depends on your point of view.

I think it is heat because the lightbulb gets super hot when its turned on

Find the current that flows in a silicon bar of 10-μm length having a 5-μm × 4-μm cross-section and having free-electron and hol
alexdok [17]

Explanation :

It is given that,

Length of silicon bar, l=10\mu m= 0.001\ cm

Free electron density, n_e=104\ cm^3

Hole density, n_h=1016\ cm^3

\mu_n=1200\ cm^2/Vs

\mu_p=500\ cm^2/Vs

The total current flowing in bar is the sum of drift current due to hole and the electrons.

J=J_e+J_h

J=nqE\mu_n+pqE\mu_p

where, n and p are electron and hole densities.

J=Eq[n\mu_n+p\mu_p]

we know that E=\dfrac{V}{l}

So, J=\dfrac{V}{l}q[n\mu_n+p\mu_p]

J=\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C}{0.001\ V}[104\ cm^{-3}\times 1200\ cm^2/V\ s+1016\ cm^{-3}\times 500\ cm^2/V\ s]

J=1012480\times 10^{-16}\ A/m^2

or

J=1.01\times 10^{-9}\ A/m^2

Current, I=JA

A is the area of bar, A= 20\mu m=0.002\ cm

So, I=1.01\times 10^{-9}\ A/m^2\times 0.002\ m^2

Current, I=2.02\times 10^{-12}\ A

<em>So, the current flowing in silicon bar is </em>I=2.02\times 10^{-12}\ A.

A pump, submerged at the bottom of a well that is 35 m deep, is used to pump water uphill to a house that is 50 m above the top
seropon [69]

Answer:

(a) i. The minimum work required to pump the water used per day is

291.85 kJ

ii. The minimum power rating of the pump is 40.53 Watts

(b) i. The flow velocity at the house when a faucet in the house is open where the diameter of the pipe is 1.25 cm is 2.87 m/s

ii. The pressure at the well when the faucet in the house is open is

837.843 kPa.

Explanation:

We note the variables of the question as follows;

Depth of well = 35 m deep

Height of house above the top of the well = 50 m

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Volume of water pumped per day = 0.35 m³

Duration of pumping of water per day = 2 hours

(a) i. We note that the energy required to pump the water is equivalent to the potential energy gained by the water at the house. That is

Energy to pump water = Potential Energy = m·g·h

Where:

m = Mass of the water

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height of the house above the bottom of the well

Therefore,

Mass of the water = Density of the water × Volume of water pumped

= 1000 kg/m³ × 0.35 m³ = 350 kg

Therefore P.E. = 350 × 9.81 × (50 + 35) = 291847.5 J

Work done = Energy = 291847.5 J

Minimum work required to pump the water used per day = 291847.5 J

= 291.85 kJ

ii. Power is the rate at which work is done.

Power = \frac{Work}{Time}

Since the time available to pump the water each day is 2 hours or 7200 seconds, therefore we have

Power  = 291847.5 J/ 7200 s = 40.53 J/s or 40.53 Watts

(b)

i. If the velocity in the 3.0 cm pipe is 0.5 m/s

Then we have the flow-rate as Q = v₁ ×A₁

Where:

v₁ = Velocity of flow in the 3.0 cm pipe = 0.

A₁ = Cross sectional area of 3.0 cm pipe

As the flow rate will be constant for continuity, then the flow-rate at the faucet will also be equal to Q

That is Q = 0.5 m/s × π × (0.03 m)²/4 =  3.5 × 10⁻⁴ m³/s

Therefore the velocity at the faucet will be given by

Q = v₂ × A₂

∴ v₂ = Q/A₂

Where:

v₂ = velocity at the house the where the diameter of the pipe is 1.25 cm

A₂ = Cross sectional area of 1.25 cm pipe = 1.23 × 10⁻⁴ m²

Therefore v₂ = (3.5 × 10⁻⁴ m³/s)/(1.23 × 10⁻⁴ m²) = 2.87 m/s

ii. The pressure at the well is given by Bernoulli's equation,

P₁ + 1/2·ρ·v₁² + ρ·g·h₁ = P₂ + 1/2·ρ·v₂² + ρ·g·h₂

If h₁ is taken as the reference point, then h₁ = 0 m

Also since P₂ is opened to the atmosphere, we take P₂ = 0

Therefore

P₁ + 1/2·ρ·v₁² + 0 = 0 + 1/2·ρ·v₂² + ρ·g·h₂

P₁ + 1/2·ρ·v₁²  =  1/2·ρ·v₂² + ρ·g·h₂

P₁ =  1/2·ρ·v₂² + ρ·g·h₂ - 1/2·ρ·v₁²  

= 1/2 × 1000 × 2.87² + 1000 × 9.81 × 85 - 1/2 × 1000 × 0.5²

= 837843.45 Pa = 837.843 kPa

A mass M is attached to an ideal massless spring. When this system is set in motion with amplitude A, it has a period T. What is
frutty [35]
<h2>Option B is the correct answer.</h2>

Explanation:

Period of a spring mass arrangement is given by

                   T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

       where m is mass and k is spring constant.

So period of spring mass arrangement is independent of amplitude of motion.

Here amplitude changes from A to 2A.

Period for amplitude A is given by T.

Since period remains same for amplitude 2A also, the period is T.

Option B is the correct answer.
