A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 50 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands

makes good contact with the two conductors he is holding, one in each hand. If his resistance is 2000 Ohm, what might the fatal voltage be?

Answer:

The fatel voltage is 100 volts.                              

Explanation:

Given that,

Current passes near the heart is, I=50\ mA

An electrician working with sweaty hands makes good contact with the two conductors he is holding, one in each hand.

Resistance, R = 2000 ohms

We need to find the fatal voltage. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

V=IR\\\\V=50\times 10^{-3}\times 2000\\\\V=100\ V

So, the fatel voltage is 100 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

What two quantities are always conserved in a nuclear reaction equation?
kupik [55]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Option A:

In the nuclear reactions,neutron can be split into proton an electron.

In this case,the  number of protons are increasing,increasing the atomic number.

Hence,the atomic number is not conserved.

Option B:

In any reaction the sum of number of neutrons and number of protons remain constant before and after the reaction.

Option C:

The mass number may change for the atoms.For example \alpha emission reduces the atomic number by 2.

Option D:

In the nuclear reactions,neutron can be split into proton an electron.

So,they number of neutrons may change.

The boiling point of a substance is _72 degree Celsius. This temperature will be equivalent to Kelvin scale is-------.
Vlada [557]

Answer:

345 K

Explanation:

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object.

Generally, it is measured with a thermometer and its units are Celsius (°C), Kelvin (K) and Fahrenheit (°F).

<u>Given the following data;</u>

  • Boiling point = 72°C

<em>To convert the temperature in degree Celsius to Kelvin, we would use the following mathematical expression;</em>

Kelvin = 273 + °C

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Kelvin = 273 + 72

<em>Kelvin = 345 K</em>

<em>Therefore, the temperature of 72°C will be equivalent to 345 K on the Kelvin scale.</em>
