When a resistor is connected to a 12 volt source, it draws a 185 mA current. what's the resistance? (I said 65 ohms). the same r

esistor connected to a 90 volt source draws a 1.25 amp current. what's the resistance? is it ohmic?

Resistance-1 = (voltage-1) / (current-1) =

                       (12 V)  /  (0.185 A)  =  64.9 ohms .

Resistance-2 = (voltage-2) / (current-2) =
 
                           (90 V )  /  (1.25 A)  =  72 ohms .

The resistance changed between situation-1 and situation-2 .
How did that happen ?

Power = (voltage) x (current)

Power-1 = (12)  x  (0.185)  =  2.22 watts

Power-2 = (90)  x  (1.25)  =  112.5 watts

The poor resistor dissipated 51 times as much power during
the second trial.  It got all heated up, and its resistance went
through the roof.

Carbon resistors behave nicely and reliably, until you try to
toast bread or light up your bedroom with them.

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

A graduated cylinder contains 17.5 ml of water. When a metal cube is placed onto the cylinder, its water level rises to 20.3 ml.
igomit [66]

Answer:

V=2.8 ml

Explanation:

volume of the cube is it would be 20.3 - 17.5 ml so 2.8 ml.

Heat is applied to an ice cube in a closed container until only steam is present. draw a representation of this process, assumin
olga55 [171]
The solid, liquid and gas phases of water would have the same structure of the molecules since they are same substance. The only difference would be the distances of the molecules in the container. For a ice, the molecules are close to each other where the molecules vibrate only in place. For liquid, the molecules are freely moving and are at some distance with each other but not that far away with each other. Steam, on the other hand, would have molecules that are very far from each other and are freely moving in the whole container. As the container is heated, the size of the molecules would not change. It is only the volume that has changed. Also, the mass is the same since there is no outflow of the substances.

Calculate the average value of an AC signal with a peak amplitude of 10V and a frequency of 10 kHz.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

V(average)=6.37 V

Explanation:

Given Data

Peak Voltage=10V

Frequency=10 kHZ

To Find

Average Voltage

Solution

For this first we need to find Voltage peak to peak

So

Voltage (peak to peak)= 2× voltage peak

Voltage (peak to peak)= 2×10

Voltage (peak to peak)= 20 V

Now from Voltage (peak to peak) formula we can find the Average Voltage

So

Voltage (peak to peak)=π×V(average)

V(average)=Voltage (peak to peak)/π

V(average)=20/3.14

V(average)=6.37 V
