Answer:

B. Metallic

Explanation:

It is the metallic ions that offer resistance to the electron flow.

Resistance in a circuit is due to the opposition to the flow of current (flow of electrons) . Resistance depends on the characteristics of the material, like resistivity , length and area of cross section of the metal.

If a material has more resistivity, resistance is more and vice versa. If the length is more or if the length is increased, keeping the area of cross section same, for a given material, the metallic ions colliding with the electrons have to travel a greater distance, there by increasing the resistance.

A wire is stretched right to its breaking point by a 5000 N force. A longer wire made of the same material has the same diameter

leva [86]

Answer:

Equal to 5000N

Explanation:

The stress on the material is defined by force per unit of cross-sectional area. So it depends on the force and the diameter of the wire, which is the same for both wires. The material that defines the breaking point, is also the same. Therefore, both wires have their breaking point the same at 5000N. The wire length plays no role in here.

What will be the ME of a machine that produces a 240 N work with a 300

Elden [556K]

Answer:

Efficiency = 80%

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Work output = 240 N

Work Input = 300 N

To find the mechanical efficiency of a machine;

$Efficiency = \frac {Out-put \; work}{In-put \; work} * 100$
