hese two wires compare? A) Both wires have the same resistance. B) The shorter wire has twice the resistance of the longer wire. The longer wire has twice the resistance of the shorter wire. D) The longer wire has four times the resistance of the shorter wire. E) The shorter wire has four times the resistance of the longer wire.

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.

Adding heat to a liquid causes which of the following physical changes?
SashulF [63]

In almost every case in nature, adding heat to a liquid
causes the density of the liquid to decrease.  That is,
when the liquid gets warmer, it expands and occupies
more space.

The one big exception to this rule is water ! 

Starting with a block of ice at zero°C (32°F), as the ice melts,
becomes water at zero°C, and all the way to 4°C (about 39°F),
its density increases all the way.   That is, it shrinks and occupies
less
volume as it goes from ice at zero°C to water at 4°C.

This sounds like an interesting but insignificant quirk ... until
you realize that if water didn't do this, then life on Earth would
be impossible !

Identify the areas on the image where the force of repulsion is the least.​
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The central blue square in between the lower pair of magnet has the least force of repulsion.

Explanation:

We can explain this using the dual nature of magnets.

Each magnet must have two poles namely:

-North pole

-South pole

We assume that the magnetic lines of forces enters from south pole and leaves from the north pole.

When brought together, like poles repel each other while opposite poles attract each other.

In the picture, the lower two magnets have opposite poles facing each other, hence the force of repulsion is minimum there and the force of attraction is maximum.
