Answer:

290W

Explanation:

The relationship between power (P) absorbed by a resistor, the current (I) flowing through the resistor and the value of resistance is given by;

P = $I^{2}$ x R

This means that the power absorbed by a resistor is the product of the current flowing through it and the value of its resistance.

Given;

I = current flowing = 7A

R = resistance = 6 Ω

Substituting the values of I and R into the equation above gives;

=> P = $7^{2}$ x 6

=> P = 49 x 6

=> P = 294W

Converting this to the nearest 1W gives 290W.

<em>Therefore, the power absorbed by the resistor is 290W</em>

Answer:

294 W

Explanation:

Electrical power: This can be defined as the rate at which electrical energy is used or dissipated. The S.I unit of electrical power is Watt(W).

The expression of electrical power is given as,

P = I²R................... Equation 1

Where P = power, I = current, R = Resistance.

Given: I = 7 A, R = 6 Ω

Substitute into equation 1

P = (7)²(6)

P = 294 W.

Hence the power power absorbed by the resistor is 294 W

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Radius of dee, r = 8 mm = 0.008 m

Electric field, e = 400 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 4.7 x 10^-4 T

mass of electron, m = 9.1 x 10^-31 kg

charge of electron, q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

(a) Let v is the speed of electrons.

$v = \frac{Bqr}{m}$

$v = \frac{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 0.008}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$

v = 661098.9 = 661099 m/s

(b)

$\frac{e}{m}=\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}$

e / m = 1.76 x 10^14 C / kg

K = 0.5 x mv²

K = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x 661099 x 661099

K = 1.99 x 10^-19 J

K = 1.24 eV

So, the potential difference is

V = 1.24 V

(d) if the acceleration voltage is doubled

V = 2 x 1.24 = 2.48 V

So, Kinetic energy

K = 2.48 eV

K = 2.48 x 1.6 x 10^-19 = 3.968 x 10^-19 J

Let v is the speed

K = 0.5 x mv²

3.968 x 10^-19 = 0.5 x 9.1 x 10^-31 x v²

v = 933856.5 m/s

Let the new radius is r.

$r=\frac{mv}{Bq}$

$r=\frac{9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 933856.5}{4.7\times 10^{-4}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

r = 0.0113 m = 1.13 cm

Which illustration represent the substance at a higher temperature? Explain.

mamaluj [8]

The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase. This is always true because you are adding heat of a substance to increase its temperature. For example, you are going to drink a cup of coffee. And you wanted it hot to boost your attention. So you have to use hot water. In order for your water to become hot or warm, you need boil it in a kettle. Note that you are going to use an electric stove. The electric stove gets it energy from the source giving it a hotter temperature to the water in the kettle. You are applying heat energy to warm the water. So, the statement is true.

Taya2010 [7]

We are given with the expression d = ut + 0.5 at^2 and is asked to express the equation in terms of a. First, we transpose ut to the left side, then we multiply to the equation and divide lastly the resulting equation by t^2. The final expression becomes a = 2(d-ut)/t^2.

According to the rayleigh criterion, what is the shortest object we could resolve at the 25.0 cm near point with light of wavele

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

$6.71 *10^{-5}$ rad

Explanation:

∅ = $\frac{1.22*wavelength}{D}$ = $\frac{1.22*550 * 10^{-9} }{25 * 10^{-2} }$

∅ = $6.71 *10^{-5}$ rad

The minimum resolvable angle = $6.71 *10^{-5}$ rad

How do the positions of the sun and moon affect what people do?

Verdich [7]

-- The position of the sun was originally the primary influence in determining
when people went to sleep and when they woke up. Although it no longer
directly influences us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in our make-up
that our behavior still largely coincides with the positions of the sun.

-- The position of the Moon was originally the primary influence in determining
the cycle of human female physiology. Although it no longer directly influences
us, that pattern is so deeply ingrained in human make-up that the female cycle
still largely coincides with the positions of the Moon.
