Answer: The correct answer is "transformer".

Explanation:

Transformer: It is a device which transfers energy between two or more circuit.

It converts the voltage from low to high or high to low.

There are two types of transformers: Step-up transformer and Step-down transformer.

Step-up transformer: It is used to convert the voltage of alternating current from low voltage to high voltage.

Step-down transformer: It is used to convert the voltage of alternating current from high voltage to low voltage.

Therefore, a device that increases or decreases the voltage of alternating current is a transformer.

A solenoid with an inductance of 8 mH is connected in series with a resistance of 5 Ω and an EMF forming a series RL circuit. A

monitta

Answer:

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

Explanation:

given data

inductance = 8 mH

resistance = 5 Ω

current = 4.0 A

time t = 0

current grow = 4.0 A to 10.0 A

to find out

value and the direction of the induced EMF

solution

we get here induced EMF of induction is express as

E = - L $\frac{dI}{dt}$ ...................1

so E = - L $\frac{I2 - I1}{dt}$

put here value we get

E = - 8 × $10^{-3}$ $\frac{10 - 4}{0.2*10^{-3}}$

E = -40 × 6

E = -240

take magnitude

induced EMF = 240 V

and by the lenz's law we get direction of induced EMF is opposite to the applied EMF

How to find volume of a cuboid in cm3

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

we have to use formula of volume to find volume of a cuboid. ( i.e v = l ×b ×h)

Explanation:

here, let your length of cuboid be x cm, breadth be y cm and height be z cm .

now, formula to find volume of cuboid = length ×

breadth × height.

so, v( volume)= l (length)× b (breadth)× h (height)

or, v= x cm × y cm × z cm

therefore, volume is xyz cm^3..... answer.

hope it helps..

The circuit change when the wire is added will see a short circuit occur and makes bulbs 1 and 2 turn off but keeps bulbs 3 and 4 lit. Option D. This is further explained below.

<h3>How does the circuit change when the wire is added?</h3>

Generally, Electronic circuits consist of a series of interconnected parts that form a closed loop through which electricity may flow.

In conclusion, If two wires are linked together, a short circuit will develop, cutting power to bulbs 1 and 2. But there is no impact on bulbs 3 and 4. There is no problem with bulbs 3 and 4.
