Aleksei’s family purchased a new water heater that is a heat pump. After installation, Aleksei noticed that the room containing

the new water heater felt cooler than the rest of the house.
What is the best explanation for why the room with the heat pump was cooler than the rest of the house?

a) Thermal energy from the water was transferred to the surrounding air.
b) The burning fuel increased the thermal energy in the air.
c) Thermal energy from the air surrounding the water heater was transferred to the water.
d) The burning fuel absorbed thermal energy from the surrounding air.

A heat pump is a device used to heat something, in this case water. Heat pump takes heat from colder object and transfers it to warmer object. This is opposite to <span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer which from warmer to colder object.

In this problem a room got colder while water got warmer. This is due to work done by heat pump. This is what is described in correct answer c).
a) is not correct because it shows </span>direction of spontaneous heat transfer. It also says that <span>Aleksei’s family purchased a new water heater and in description givne in a) it would mean that water got colder.
b) is not correct because if the </span><span>burning fuel increased the thermal energy in the air it would mean that this room got warmer than rest of house.
d) is not correct because burning fuel does not absorb </span><span>thermal energy. It releases it.</span>

If the PLATE SEPARATION of an isolated charged parallel-plate capacitor is doubled: A. the electric field is doubled
mash [69]

Explanation:

The electric field of an isolated charged parallel-plate capacitor is given by :

E=\dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}........(1)

Where

q is the electric charge

A is the area of cross section of parallel plate

It is clear from equation (1) that the electric field of a parallel plate capacitor is directly proportional to the charge on the plate and inversely proportional to the area of cross section of a plate.

So, the correct option is (E) i.e. "none of the above".

Eddi Din [679]

Personal space differs from culture to culture, though it is widely acknowledged that Europe and U.S have bigger personal space requirements that their counterparts in Asia.

Hakeem might not realize it but it’s commonly accepted for Americans to have a distance between four to twelve feet between one another in social settings, especially in professional ones. A distance of two feet is only acceptable if the individual is part of the person’s inner circle, such as friends and family.
