Answer:
d. conduction
Explanation:
Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.
In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.
Any material or object that allow the conduction (transfer) of electric charge or thermal energy is generally referred to as a conductor. Conductors include metal, steel, aluminum, copper, frying pan, pot, spoon etc.
In conclusion, conduction typically involves the transfer of heat energy by direct contact between two or more conductors such as a pot and electric cooker.
Answer:
Explanation:
Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance
= 24 N x 2m = 48 J
Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance
= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J
efficiency = output energy / input energy
= 36 J / 48 J
= 3 / 4 = .75
In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .
Abundant energy: Fusing atoms together in a controlled way releases nearly four million times more energy than a chemical reaction such as the burning of coal, oil or gas and four times as much as nuclear fission reactions (at equal mass)
1) Current in each bulb: 0.1 A
The two light bulbs are connected in series, this means that their equivalent resistance is just the sum of the two resistances:
And so, the current through the circuit is (using Ohm's law):
And since the two bulbs are connected in series, the current through each bulb is the same.
2) 4 W and 8 W
The power dissipated by each bulb is given by the formula:
where I is the current and R is the resistance.
For the first bulb:
For the second bulb:
3) 12 W
The total power dissipated in both bulbs is simply the sum of the power dissipated by each bulb, so:
