Answer:
(a) The power wasted for 0.289 cm wire diameter is 15.93 W
(b) The power wasted for 0.417 cm wire diameter is 7.61 W
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the wire, d = 0.289 cm = 0.00289 m
voltage of the wire, V = 120 V
Power drawn, P = 1850 W
The resistivity of the wire, ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω⋅m
Area of the wire;
A = πd²/4
A = (π x 0.00289²) / 4
A = 6.561 x 10⁻⁶ m²
(a) At 26 m of this wire, the resistance of the is
R = ρL / A
R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸ x 26) / 6.561 x 10⁻⁶
R = 0.067 Ω
Current in the wire is calculated as;
P = IV
I = P / V
I = 1850 / 120
I = 15.417 A
Power wasted = I²R
Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.067)
Power wasted = 15.93 W
(b) when a diameter of 0.417 cm is used instead;
d = 0.417 cm = 0.00417 m
A = πd²/4
A = (π x 0.00417²) / 4
A = 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m²
Resistance of the wire at 26 m length of wire and 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m² area;
R = ρL / A
R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸ x 26) / 1.366 x 10⁻⁵
R = 0.032 Ω
Power wasted = I²R
Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.032)
Power wasted = 7.61 W
Answer:
The light rays falling on a rough surface does follow the laws of reflection. The light rays are incident parallel on the rough surface but due to uneven surface the light rays are not reflected parallel rather they are reflected in different direction. Hence, no image is formed.
