Answer:

(1) Sure, the frequency is 1000 Hz.

Explanation:

Frequency = wave speed ÷ wave distance

wave speed = 100 m/s

wave distance = 10 cm = 10/100 = 0.1 m

Frequency = 100 ÷ 0.1 = 1000 Hz

Four copper wires of equal length are connected in series. Their cross-sectional areas are 0.7 cm2 , 2.5 cm2 , 2.2 cm2 , and 3 c

Travka [436]

Answer:

22.1 V

Explanation:

We are given that

$A_1=0.7 cm^2=0.7\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$A_2=2.5 cm^2=2.5\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$A_3=2.2 cm^2=2.2\times 10^{-4} m^2$

$A_4=3 cm^2=3\times 10^{-4} m^2$

Using $1cm^2=10^{-4} m^2$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

In series

$R=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4$

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A_1}+\frac{\rho l}{A_2}+\frac{\rho l}{A_3}+\frac{\rho l}{A_4}$

$R=\frac{\rho l}{\frac{1}{A_1}+\frac{1}{A_2}+\frac{1}{A_3}+\frac{1}{A_4}}$

Substitute the values

$R=\rho A(\frac{1}{0.7\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{2.2\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{3\times 10^{-4}})$

$R=\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)$

$V=145 V$

$I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{145}{\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)}$

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire= $IR=I\times \frac{\rho l}{A_2}$

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire= $\frac{145}{\rho l(2.62\times 10^4)}\times \frac{\rho l}{2.5\times 10^{-4}}=22.1 V$

Voltage across the 2.5 square cm wire=22.1 V

What is the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference?

sladkih [1.3K]

The amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

<h3>What is the capacitance?</h3>

The capacitance has to do with the amount of charge that is stored by a capacitor. We know that a capacitor is a device that can be used to store electric charges. We have in it, two capacitors separated by a dielectric material.

Hence, the amount of charge a capacitor can store per volt of potential difference is called the capacitance of the capacitor.

When a 1.50V battery is shorted by a copper wire whose resistance can be ignored, the current through the copper wire is 2.75 A.

viva [34]

Answer:

Internal resistance = 0.545 ohm

Explanation:

As per ohm's law we know that

$V = iR$

here we know that

i = electric current = 2.75 A

V = potential difference = 1.50 Volts

now from above equation we have

$1.50 = 2.75 ( R)$

now we have

$R = \frac{1.50}{2.75}$

$R = 0.545 ohm$
