A wire carrying an electric current is often likened to a pipe carrying water. What part of this analogy is incorrect?

Physics

In a direct current (DC) electrical circuit, the voltage (V in volts) is an expression of the available energy per unit charge which drives the electric current (I in amperes) around a closed circuit. Increasing the resistance (R in ohms) will proportionately decrease the current which may be driven through the circuit by the voltage.

Each quantity and each operational relationship in a battery-operated DC circuit has a direct analog in the water circuit. The nature of the analogies can help develop an understanding of the quantities in basic electric ciruits. In the water circuit, the pressure P drives the water around the closed loop of pipe at a certain volume flow rate F. If the resistance to flow R is increased, then the volume flow rate decreases proportionately. You may click any component or any relationship to explore the the details of the analogy with a DC electric circuit.

How does a battery work?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Essentials. A battery is a device that stores chemical energy and converts it to electrical energy. The chemical reactions in a battery involve the flow of electrons from one material (electrode) to another, through an external circuit. The flow of electrons provides an electric current that can be used to do work.

A object with a mass of 1.5 kg is lifted from the ground to a height of 0.22 m what is the objects potential energy
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

<h2>3.3 J</h2>

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

PE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 10 m/s²

From the question we have

PE = 1.5 × 10 × 0.22

We have the final answer as

<h3>3.3 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

In order to sail through the frozen Arctic Ocean, the most powerful icebreaker ever built was constructed in the former Soviet U
professor190 [17]

Answer:

955.36 seconds ≈ 16 minutes

Explanation:

Power(P) is the rate of doing work(W)

That is, P = W/t, where t is the time.

multipying both sides with 't' and dividing with 'P', we get: t=W/P

Here, W = 5.35 x 10^10 J and P = 5.6 x 10^7 W ( 1 W = 1 J/s).

Therefore , on dividing W with P, we get 955.36 seconds.
