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.

Traveling waves propagate with a fixed speed usually denoted as v (but sometimes c). The waves are called __________ if their wa
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Periodic.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

Generally, the most commonly used electromagnetic wave technology in telecommunications is radio waves.

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data.

Generally, a fixed speed is used for the propagation of traveling waves and this speed is usually denoted with the variable "v" or sometimes "c."

Furthermore, if the waveform of a traveling wave is repeated every time at specific intervals T, it is referred to as periodic wave.

Mathematically, the period of a traveling wave is given by the formula;

Period = \frac {1}{T}

Where;

T is the time measured in seconds.
