The journey of an electron through an external circuit involves a long and slow zigzag path that is characterized by losses in e

lectric potential. We now look extensively at resistance - the cause for these voltage drops. Resistivity is defined by the ratio of the magnitude to electric field and current density. Resistance is related to resistivity by R= rhoL/A for cylindrical conductors. Two wires - A and B - with circular cross-sections have identical lengths and are made of the same material. Yet, wire A has four times the resistance of wire B. How many times greater is the diameter of wire B than wire A?

Answer:

d_{b} = 2 d_{a}

Explanation:

The electrical resistance for a cylindrical wire is described by the expression

         R = ρ L / A

The area of ​​a circle is

     A = π r²

     r = d / 2

     A = π d²/4

We substitute

      R = ρ L  4 /π d²

Let's apply this expression to our case, they indicate that the resistance of wire A is 4 times the resistance of wire B

    R_{a} = 4 R_{b}

We substitute

    ρ  4/π d_{a}² = 4 (ρ  4/π d_{b}²)

    1 / d_{a}² = 4 / d_{b}²

     d_{a} = d_{b} / 2

What would happen to the wavelength if the frequency was doubled?
ira [324]

Answer:

λ = hv

If frequency is doubled :

λ = h × 2v

λ = 2hv

Thus wavelength is doubled

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest ​
Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.

Question 7 Points 2
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The dynamo has a wheel that touches the back tyre. As the bicycle moves, the wheel turns a magnet inside a coil. This induces enough electricity to run the bicycle's lights. The faster the bicycle moves, the greater the induced voltage - and the brighter the lights.

Distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave?
lesantik [10]
It's called the "Wavelength". It corresponds to <span>the distance from any point on a wave to an identical point on the next wave and could also be from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Hope this helps !
