Give an example of how electrical energy and thermal energy are connected.

1 answer:

3 0

A toaster draws electric current (electrical energy) from a wall outlet and converts these moving electric charges into heat (thermal energy) in the filaments that turn red hot to cook your toast. ... As electricity runs through the filaments in a space heater, the electrical energy is converted into heat (thermal energy).
Hopefully this helped.

HELP PLEASE!!! 30+ points!!

1) 9.26 cm

Explanation:

The focal length of a plane mirror is virtually infinite. Considering the lens equation,

$\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}$

where f is the focal length, p is the object distance, q the image distance. If we replace f with infinity, we get

$q=-p$

The magnification equation states that

$y' = -\frac{q}{p}y$

where y is the size of the object and y' the size of the image. Substituting q=-p, we get

$y'=y$

this means that the image produced by a plane mirror is always:

- Upright (y' is positive)

- The same size as the object

In this case, we have a book of height 9.26 cm (y=9.26 cm). This means that the magnitude of the size of the image (y') will be 9.26 cm as well.

2) 22.7 cm

As we said before, due to the infinite focal length of a plane mirror,

$q=-p$

this means that the image produced by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (because q is negative)

- At the same distance from the mirror as the object

In this case, we have a book placed at 22.7 cm from the mirror (p=22.7 cm). This means that the magnitude of the distance of the image from the mirror (q) will be 22.7 cm as well.

3) 1.60 m/s

We said previously that the image produced by a plane mirror is always at the same distance from the mirror as the real object. This implies that whenever we move the object toward/away from the mirror, the distance p will alway remain equal to the distance q. But this also means that the object and the distance are moving toward/away from the mirror at the same speed.

Therefore, since in this case the person is moving away from the mirror at 1.60 m/s, the image will also move away at a speed of 1.60 m/s.

The sum of the charges on both plates of a capacitor is zero. What does a capacitor store?

erma4kov [3.2K]

Current is the overall flow of electrons through a conductor and can be defined as the speed of the flow of electrons. Resistance is defined as the opposition to current flow. Circuits must have resistance to convert electrical energy into light, heat, or motion. Resistance is called the directional movement of electrons that form an electric current. It is also known that electrons do not move freely in the crystal structure of a conductor. Resistance is the inherent opposition to the flow of electrons present in a conductor. Inductance is the property of any circuit to resist any change in current while capacitance is the property of the circuit to resist any change in voltage.

<h3>What is capacitor?</h3>

A capacitor is an electronic component that stores an electrical charge. Capacitors consist of two close conductors (usually plates) separated by a dielectric material. The plates accumulate an electrical charge when connected to a power source. The main purpose of a capacitor is to store electrostatic energy in an electric field and, if possible, to supply this energy to an electrical circuit.

To avoid dangerous circuit failure, they allow alternating current to flow but block direct current. Capacitors are widely used as circuit elements in many common electrical devices. Commercial capacitors are made of interwoven metal foils with paraffin or Mylar-impregnated paper as the dielectric.
