A ground wire provides a conducting path to the earth which is separate and independent from the path of an electrical appliance. Also, a ground wire is an additional pathway for an electric current to safely return to the ground without imposing danger to anyone in the event that a short circuit might occur. This is particularly important for shock hazard since it forces the breaker to trip by supplying a path to the ground if ever a hot wire comes in contact with a metal case of the appliance.

A fuses and circuit breakers limit the current which can possibly flow in a circuit. The metal filament present in the fuse will melt and break the connection. On the other hand, the circuit breaker with its bimetallic strip's heating effect causes a bending and tripping of a spring-loaded switch.

A silver wire 2.6 mm in diameter transfers a charge of 420 C in 80 min. Silver contains 5.8 x 10- free electrons per cubic meter

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a). 87.5 mA or $87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b). 1.78 $\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

$d=2.6 mm \\Q=420C\\t=80min\\n=5.8x10^{28} \\q=1.6x10^{-19}$

n the number of free electrons is 28 in text reference and if they don't give q is take as the charge of electron.

a).

$I=\frac{Q}{t}\\ I= \frac{420 C}{80 min}*\frac{1min}{60 s} =\frac{420 C}{4800s}\\ I=87.5 x10^{-3}$ A

b).

$I=n*abs (q)*V_{d}*A$

$A= \pi * (\frac{d}{2})^{2} \\A=\pi (*\frac{2.6x10^{-3} m}{2})^{2} \\A=5.309x10^{-6}$

$V_{d} =\frac{I}{n*abs(q)*A} \\V_{d}=\frac{87.5 x10^{-2} }{5.8x^10{28} *1.6x^{-19} *5.3x^{6} }\\V_{d}=1.78 \frac{m}{s}$

How is an image formed by a plane mirror?

Nesterboy [21]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Light bounces off of the mirror and then appears to come from behind the mirror.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<u><em>Plane mirrors form images that are virtual, upright and the same size and shape as the object it is reflecting.</em></u>
<em><u>When rays of light from the object hits a plane mirror they bounces off the mirror,that is they undergo reflection, and appear to originate from behind the mirror, resulting to the formation of a virtual image.</u></em>
The image formed appears to be behind the plane in which the mirror lies. A virtual image is an image that is formed at a location from which the rays of light appear to come from. The image can not be formed on a screen.
