All household circuits are wired in parallel. A 1140-W toaster, a 270-W blender, and a 80-W lamp are plugged into the same outle

t. (The three devices are in parallel when plugged into the same outlet.) Assume that this is the standard household 120-V circuit with a 15-A fuse.
a. What current is drawn by each device?
b. To see if this combination will blow the 15-A fuse, find the total current used when all three appliances are on.

Answer:

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

Explanation:

given data

toaster = 1140-W

blender = 270-W

lamp = 80-W

voltage = 120 V

solution

we know that current is express as

current = power ÷ voltage   ......................1

here voltage is same in all three device

so

current by toaster is

I = \frac{1140}{120}

I = 9.5 A

and

current by blender

I = \frac{270}{120}

I = 2.25 A

and

current by lamp is

I = \frac{80}{120}

I = 0.667 A

so here device in parallel so

total current is = 9.5 A + 2.25 A + 0.667 A

total current = 12.417 A

so it will not fuse as current is less than 15 A

bogdanovich [222]
Energy released by fusion in the sun is initially in the form of gamma rays.

Gamma rays arise from the radioactive decay of nuclei. They are penetrating electromagnetic radiations consisting of very high energy photons.
Gamma rays are ionizing radiations and have very serious biological dangers and hazards (due to their ability of ionizing the atoms).

Answer:

<u>B</u>

Explanation:

Planets have different year lengths because it depends how far they revolve from a celestial body. Each planet has its own orbital period. Planets closer to the star will have a lower orbital period compared to the ones that lie far away from it.

The magnitude of the magnetic flux through the surface of a circular plate is 5.90 10-5 T · m2 when it is placed in a region of
valkas [14]

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the magnetic flux , Φ = 5.90 x 10⁻⁵ T·m²

angle of inclination of the field, θ = 42.0°

radius of the circular plate, r = 8.50 cm = 0.085 m

Generally magnetic flux in a uniform magnetic field is given as;

Φ = BACosθ

where;

B is the strength of the magnetic field

A is the area of the circular plate

Area of the circular plate:

A = πr²

A = π (0.085)² = 0.0227 m²

The strength of the magnetic field:

B = Φ / ACosθ

B = ( 5.90 x 10⁻⁵) / ( 0.0227 x Cos42)

B = 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3.5 x 10⁻³ T

Longer wavelengths of light, such as _______, have ________ energy than shorter wavelengths, such as _________
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Micro and radio waves.

Lower energy.

Gamma rays.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the range of frequencies of electromagnetic radiation and their respective wavelengths.

Ionising radiation os defined as the energy required of photons of a wave to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions.

The energy of the wave depends on both the amplitude and the frequency. If the energy of each wavelength is a discrete packet of energy, a high-frequency wave will deliver more of these packets per unit time than a low-frequency wave. In summary, the longer the wavelength, the lower the energy to ionise.

The velocity of a wave is directly proportional to the frequency of that wave.

c = f * lambda

Where,

c = velocity of the wave

f = frequency of the wave = 1/time

Lambda = wavelength.

From the above expression, the longer the wavelength, lambda the shorter the frequency.

Examples of waves with longer wavelengths are, micro and radio waves, while radiations with shorter wavelengths like gamma rays.
