A generator's maximum output is 220 V. What is the rms potential difference?

1 answer:

3 0

The rms potential difference is defined as the peak value of the potential difference divided by the square root of 2:
$V_{rms} = \frac{V_0}{ \sqrt{2} }$
where
$V_0$ is the peak value of the voltage (the maximum voltage).

The generator in our problem has a maximum voltage of $V_0=220 V$ , so its rms potential difference is
$V_{rms}= \frac{V_0}{ \sqrt{2} }=155.6 V$

A calorimeter directly measures ______ in order to calculate ______. (1 point)

Aneli [31]

The complete sentence is:

A calorimeter directly measures changes in temperature in order to calculate specific heat.

In fact, the amount of energy acquired/released by a substance is directly proportional to its change in temperature due to the equation

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where Q is the amount of energy, m is the mass of the substance, Cs is the specific heat of the substance and $\Delta T$ is the change in temperature. Therefore, by knowing Q, m and by measuring the change in temperature, it is possible to calculate Cs, the specific heat capacity of the substance.

Show that the entire Paschen series is in the infrared part of the spectrum. To do this, you only need to calculate the shortest

mr_godi [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the shortest wavelength in the series is shown below:-

$\frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$

Where

$\lambda$ represents wavelength

R represents Rydberg's constant

$n_f$ represents Final energy states

and $n_i$ represents initial energy states

Now Substitute is

$1.097\times 10^7\ m^{-1}\ for\ R, \infty for\ n_i,\ 3 for\ n_i,\\\\\ \frac{1}{\lambda} = R(\frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} )$

now we will put the values into the above formula

$= 1.097\times 10^7 m^{-1}(\frac{1}{3^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} )\\\\ = 1.097\times10^7\ m^{-1} (\frac{1}{9} )$

$= 1218888.889 m^{-1}$

Now we will rewrite the answer in the term of $\lambda$

$\lambda = \frac{1}{1218888.889} m\\\\ = 0.82\times 10^{-6} m$

So, the whole Paschen series is in the part of the spectrum.

A piston releases 18 J of heat into its surroundings while expanding from 0.0002 m^3 to 0.0006 m^3 at a constant pressure of 1.0

Elodia [21]

Answer:

value of heat is 18 J

2. step by step

formular w=p(volume1-volume2)

w= 1.0×10^5(0.0006-0.0004)

Two metal spheres are hanging from nylon threads. When you bring the spheres close to each other, they tend to attract. Based on

Tamiku [17]

Explanation:

In the given question, the two metal spheres were hanged with the nylon thread.

When these two spheres were brought close together, they attracted each other. The attraction between these spheres is the result of the opposite charges between them.

The possible ways by which these two metal spheres can be charged are by induction that is touching the metal or by rubbing them.

During induction, the same charges are transferred to each sphere. In this case, either both the spheres will be negatively charged or positively charged.

It is not possible that after the sphere touch each other they will cling together because the same charge repels each other and during touching, if one sphere is neutral, then the charged one will transfer the same charge. And as we know that same charge repel each other therefore they will repel each other.
