An ammeter is connected in series with a resistor of unknown resistance R and a DC power supply of known emf e. A student uses t

he ammeter to measure the current I and calculates the power P dissipated by the resistor using I and e. The student later discovers that the ammeter is not an ideal ammeter. Which of the following correctly compares the actual power dissipated by the resistor to the value of power P calculated by the student and explains why? (A) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is greater than P because the ammeter had some resistance (B) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter had some resistance. (C) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is greater than P because the ammeter should have been connected in parallel to the resistor. (D) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter should have been connected in parallel to the resistor. (E) The actual power dissipated by the resistor is equal to P because the ammeter was connected properly in series.

Answer:

B:The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter had some resistance.

Explanation:

Here,power has been calculated using current I and total EMF \ε . So,P=EMF*current= ε I will represent total power dissipated in resistor and ammeter.

Now, this total power P has been dissipated in both resistor and ammeter. So, power dissipated in resistor must be less than P as some power is also dissipated in ammeter because it has non-zero resistance.

So, the answer is B:The actual power dissipated by the resistor is less than P because the ammeter had some resistance.

Note that option A,C and E are ruled out as they state power dissipated by resistor is greater than or equal to P which is false.

Also,option D is ruled out as ammeter is connected in series.

A mass of 3.0 kg rests on a smooth surface inclined 34° above the horizontal. It is kept from sliding down the plane by a spring
azamat

Answer:

The spring stretched by x = 13.7 cm

Explanation:

Given data

Mass = 3 kg

k = 120 \frac{N}{m}

Angle \theta = 34°

From the free body diagram

Force acting on the box = mg sin\theta

⇒ F = 3 × 9.81 × \sin34

⇒ F = 16.45 N ------- (1)

Since box is attached with the spring so a spring force also acts on the box.

F_{sp} = k x

F_{sp} = 120 x -------- (2)

The net force acting on the body is given by

F_{net} = ma

Since acceleration of the box is zero so

F_{net} = 0

F - F_{sp} = 0

F = F_{sp}

Put the values from equation (1) & (2) we get

16.45 = 120x

x = 0.137 m

x = 13.7 cm

Therefore the spring stretched by x = 13.7 cm

Answer:

Planetary Nebula is a shell of glowing ionized gas surrounding a dying star.

Explanation:

Planetary Nebula is a shell of glowing ionized gas surrounding a dying star.

It shows the that star is dying or or is reaching its final stage of life. This term is associated with red giant stars. They are at the verge of dying and glow which is the ionized gas.

A geothermal plant uses geothermal water (yes a liquid) extracted from beneath the Earth using drilling apparatus. The geotherma
Sophie [7]

Answer:

4.1%

Explanation:

Given that water specific heat c = 4186 J/kgC. If water is flowing with mass rate of 200kg/s and temperature is dropping from 200C to 25C. Then the thermal energy rate from the water should be

P_i = mc\Delta t = 200*4186*(200 - 25) = 146510000
J/s or 146510kW

Since the turbine is only able to extract 6000kW of power, then the thermal efficiency is:

Eff = \frac{P_o}{P_i} = \frac{6000}{146510} = 0.041 or 4.1%
