Energy is the ability to bring about change or to do work... the second law of thremodynamics states that in all energy exchanges of no energy enters or leaves that system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state.

Answer:

The second law of thermodynamics implies that thermodynamic processes in macroscopic systems can be predicted more accurately than in microscopic systems, because they are essentially statistical processes on more or less independently moving particles. The law of large numbers from the probability theory states that the relative deviations from statistical averages become smaller as the number of particles becomes larger. This law also means that self-organization in a chaotic system is only possible if energy is added.

An inductor has inductance of 0.260 H and carries a current that is decreasing at a uniform rate of 18.0 mA/s.
nignag [31]

Answer:

The self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.

Explanation:

The emf in the inductor is given by:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt}

Where:

dI/dt: is the decreasing current's rate change = -18.0 mA/s (the minus sign is because the current is decreasing)

L: is the inductance = 0.260 H

So, the emf is:

\epsilon = -L\frac{dI}{dt} = -0.260 H*(-18.0 \cdot 10^{-3} A/s) = 4.68 \cdot 10^{-3} V

Therefore, the self-induced emf in this inductor is 4.68 mV.  

I hope it helps you!

1. All the relevant resistors are in series, so the total (or equivalent) resistance is the sum of the resistances of the resistors: 20 Ω + 80 Ω + 50 Ω = 150 Ω [choice A].

2. The ammeter will read the current flowing through this circuit. We can find the ammeter reading using Ohm's law in terms of the electromotive force provided by the battery: I = ℰ/R = (30 V)(150 Ω) = 0.20 A [choice C].

3. The voltmeter will measure the potential drop across the 50 Ω resistor, i.e., the voltage at that resistor. We know from question 2 that the current flowing through the resistor is 0.20 A. So, from Ohm's law, V = IR = (0.20 A)(50 Ω) = 10. V, which will be the voltmeter reading [choice F].

4. Trick question? If the circuit becomes open, then no current will flow. Moreover, even if the voltmeter were kept as element of the circuit, voltmeters generally have a very high resistance (an ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance), so the current moving through the circuit will be negligible if not nil. In any case, the ammeter reading would be 0 A [choice B].

What material is most commonly used to make a photovoltaic solar cell?
zaharov [31]

Solar cells can be classified into first, second and third generation cells. The first generation cells—also called conventional, traditional or wafer-based cells—are made of crystalline silicon, the commercially predominant PV technology, that includes materials such as polysilicon and monocrystalline silicon.

olchik [2.2K]
Because the tomato did not chemically changed it was only physically altered.

Which structures main function is to produce food (sugar) in a plant
leva [86]
Technically speaking, there are many "levels" of a plant for which this may hold true. I think the one you are referring to is the chloroplast. It takes in the light energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide, and performs photosynthesis on them to produce sugar and oxygen. A leaf would also fit the description as this is a very general question.
