Answer:

Power used by dryer is 2160 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Current used by clothes dryer, I = 9 amps

Voltage used by dryer, V = 240 volts

We have to find the power used by it. Mathematically, the relationship between voltage, current and power is given by :

$P=V\times I$

Putting the values of I and V in above equation as :

$P=240\ V\times 9\ A$

P = 2160 watts

Hence, the power used by dryer is 2160 watts.

From the answers provided, I believe the possible answer would be the last option, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals. Here's my reasoning: the most abundant mineral group found in the Earth's crust is the silicate group. The silicate materials contain both oxygen and silicon. Silicates are the most common minerals in the rock-formation process, and it has, in fact, been estimated that they make up 75 to 90 percent of the Earth's crust. From this piece of evidence, I can guess that the answer will possibly be D, silicon, oxygen, and one or more metals.
It should also be noted that the additional elements that combine with the silicon-oxygen tetrahedron are involved with the other elements commonly found in the Earth's crust and mantle. They are aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and sodium.

Find the voltage change when: a. An electric field does 12 J of work on a 0.0001-C charge. b. The same electric field does 24 J

kondaur [170]

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) Work done by the electric field is 12 J on a 0.0001 C of charge. The electric potential is defined as the work done per unit charged particles. It is given by :

$V=\dfrac{W}{q}$

$V=\dfrac{12}{0.0001}$

$V=12\times 10^4\ Volt$

(b) Similarly, same electric field does 24 J of work on a 0.0002-C charge. The electric potential difference is given by :

$V=\dfrac{W}{q}$

$V=\dfrac{24}{0.0002}$

$V=12\times 10^4\ Volt$

Therefore, this is the required solution.
