Power Rating of a Resistor. The power rating of a resistor is the maximum power the resistor can safely dissipate without too gr

IgorLugansk [536]

(a) 273.9 V

The power rating of the resistor is given by

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}$

where

P is the power rating

V is the potential difference across the resistor

R is the resistance

If the maximum power rating is $P=5.0 W$ , and the resistance of the resistor is $R=15 k\Omega = 15000 \Omega$ , then we can find the maximum potential difference across the resistor by re-arranging the previous equation for V:

$V=\sqrt{PR}=\sqrt{(5.0 W)(15000 \Omega)}=273.9 V$

(b) 1.6 W

In this case, we have:

$R=9.0 k\Omega = 9000 \Omega$ is the resistance of the resistor

$V=120 V$ is the potential difference across the resistor

So we can find the power rating by using the same formula of part (a):

$P=\frac{V^2}{R}=\frac{(120 V)^2}{9000 \Omega}=1.6 W$

(c) Maximum voltage: 14.1 V; Rate of heat: 2.00 W and 3.00 W

Here we have two resistors of

$R_1 = 100 \Omega\\R_2 = 150 \Omega$

and each resistor has a power rating of

P = 2.00 W

So the greatest potential difference allowed in the first resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_1}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(100 \Omega)}=14.1 V$

While the greatest potential difference allowed in the second resistor is

$V=\sqrt{PR_2}=\sqrt{(2.00 W)(150 \Omega)}=17.3 V$

So the greatest potential difference allowed not to overheat either of the resistor is 14.1 V.

In this condition, the power dissipated on the first resistor is 2.00 W, while the power dissipated on the second resistor is

$P_2 = \frac{V^2}{R_2}=\frac{(14.1 V)^2}{150 \Omega}=1.33 W$

And this corresponds to the rate of heat generated in the first resistor (2.00 W) and in the second resistor (1.33 W).

11.76 cm² into two significant figures and include the appropriate units

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

You will need to turn this into scientific notation, so:

1.176 × 10^1 cm^2

To two significant figures means to two digits so since 7 is greater than 5, you will need to round up.

Final answer is:

1.2×10^1 cm^2

Does an increase in velocity necessarily mean an increase in acceleration?

Vinil7 [7]

We know, acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time
Here, if velocity is increasing, then,
Final velocity > initial velocity, in that case, acceleration is also increasing, as it is directly proportional to velocity

In short, Your Answer would be "Yes"

Hope this helps!

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$
