How is thermal energy transferred?

Physics
2 answers:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago

Heat may be transferred by means of conduction, convection, or radiation. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. Collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object.

Thermal energy can be transferred in a few ways but friction is a good example, other ways include, radiation, convection, or conduction.

A calorimeter is used to determine the specific heat capacity of a test metal. If the specific heat capacity of water is known,
denis23 [38]

Answer:

initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal, mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Explanation:

Heat lost by the metal, Q = mc(t_{2} - t_{1})

Heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, Q_{w} = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

For energy to be conserved in the system, the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gain by the water in the calorimeter.

        mc(t_{2} - t_{1}) = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

Where,

m is the mass of the metal

c is specific heat capacity of the metal

t₂ is the final temperature of the metal

t₁ is the initial temperature of the metal

m_{w} is the mass of the water

c_{w} is specific heat capacity of water

t_{2w} is the final temperature of water

t_{1w} is the initial temperature of water

From the question given, specific heat capacity of the water is known, the quantities to be measured are;

Initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal,

Mass of the metal, and mass of the water

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have N_s > N_p, so that V_s > V_p, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have N_s < N_p, so that V_s < V_p, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
