What is the SI unit for intensity?

Physics
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The SI unit of intensity is the watt per square meter/metre (W/m^2.)

Explanation:

Intensity is equal to the power transferred per unit area. Since power is measured in watts (W) and 1 W = 1 J/s, then intensity can be viewed as how fast energy goes through a certain area.

In physics, intensity is often used when studying light, sound, or other phenomena that involve waves or energy transfer. (With waves, the power value is taken as the average power transfer over the wave's period.)

What is table salt (NaCl) formed by?
Rzqust [24]
NaCl is a compound formed by a chemical reaction between Na (Sodium) and Cl (Chlorine). Sodium is an alkai metal in Group One of the Periodic Table, and it is very reactive. All alkai metals react violently with water and they are often found combined in nature because they are that reactive. Chlorine is a halogen in Group 17 of the Periodic Table and they are very reactive.

An uncharged series RC circuit is to be connected across a battery. For each of the following changes, determine whether the tim
slavikrds [6]

a) Increase

b) Unchanged

c) Increase

Explanation:

a)

The charge on a capacitor charging in a RC circuit connected to a battery follows the exponential equation:

Q(t)=Q_0 (1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})

where

Q_0 = CV is the final charge stored in the capacitor, where C is the capacitance and V is the voltage of the battery

t is the time

R is the resistance of the circuit

The capacitor reaches 90% of its final charge when

Q(t)=0.90Q_0

Substituting and re-arranging the equation, we find:

0.90Q_0 = Q_0(1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}})\\0.90=1-e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}\\e^{-\frac{t}{RC}}=0.10\\-\frac{t}{RC}=ln(0.10)\\t=-RCln(0.10)=2.30RC

We see that if we double the RC constant, then (RC)'=2(RC)

So the time taken will double as well:

t'=2.30(RC)'=2.30(2RC)=2(2.30RC)=2t

So, the answer is "increase"

b)

In this second part, the battery voltage is doubled.

According to the equation written in part a),

Q_0 =CV

this means also that the final charge stored on the capacitor will also double.

However, the equation that gives us the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its full charge is

t=2.30 RC

We see that this equation does not depend at all on the voltage of the battery.

Therefore, if the battery voltage is doubled, the final charge on the capacitor will double as well, but the time needed for the capacitor to reach 90% of its charge will not change.

So the correct answer is

"unchanged"

c)

In this case, a second resistor is added in series with the original resistor of the circuit.

We know that for two resistors in series, the total resistance of the circuit is given by the sum of the individual resistances:

R=R_1+R_2

Since each resistance is a positive value, this means that as we add new resistors, the total resistance of the circuit increases.

Therefore in this problem, if we add a resistor in series to the original circuit, this means that the total resistance of the circuit will increase.

The time taken for the capacitor to reach 90% of its final charge is still

t=2.30 RC

As we can see, this time is directly proportional to the resistance of the circuit, R: therefore, if we add a resistor in series, the resistance of the circuit will increase, and therefore this time will increase as well.

So the correct answer is

"increase"
