Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wire 1:

length = 2L

Area = 2 A

Wire 2: length = L

Area = A

As we know that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

Let ρ be the resistivity of the cooper wire.

Resistance of wire 1

R1 = ρ x 2L / 2 A = ρ L / A

Resistance of wire 2:

R2 = ρ x L /  A = ρ L / A

As R1 = R2

It means both the wires have same resistance.

A high school bus travels 240 km in 6.0 h. What is its average speed for the trip? (in km/h).
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

40 km/h

Explanation:

First...

Look at the formula speed is equal to the distance over time or s = d/t.

Next...

Use the formula: 240/6.0

Finally...

Solve: 40

So the answer: 40 km/h

Which of the following options is correct and why?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

Option (e) = The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere.

Explanation:

So, we are given the following set of infomation in the question given above;

=> "spherical Gaussian surface of radius R centered at the origin."

=> " A charge Q is placed inside the sphere."

So, the question is that if we are to maximize the magnitude of the flux of the electric field through the Gaussian surface, the charge should be located where?

The CORRECT option (e) that is " The charge can be located anywhere since flux does not depend on the position of the charge as long as it is inside the sphere." Is correct because of the reason given below;

REASON: because the charge is "covered" and the position is unknown, the flux will continue to be constant.

Also, the Equation that defines Gauss' law does not specify the position that the charge needs to be located, therefore it can be anywhere.

Why mirrors show texts in reverse order?
bogdanovich [222]
Mirrors reflect meaning shows what would be seen if everything was turned around, therefore, it shows text backwards because if it is turned around, it is in reverse order.
