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 sonar pulse sent out by a boat arrives back after 4 seconds. If the speed of sound in water is 1600m/s, how deep is the water?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

the boat would be deeped by 3200 m

Explanation:

Given that

The boat arrives back after 4 seconds

And, the speed of the sound in water is 1,600 m/s

We need to find out how much deep is the water

So,

As we know that

Distance = ( speed × time) ÷ 2

Here we divided by 2 because the boat arrives back

= (1600 × 4) ÷ 2

= 3200 m

Therefore the boat would be deeped by 3200 m

Ans of this question A test charge of 1 couloumb moved from 30cm against the field of intensity 50N/c find the energy store in i
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A. Zero

Explanation:

Given data,

The charge of the test charge, q = 1 C

The distance the charge moved against the filed of intensity, x = 30 cm

                                                                                                        = 0.3 m

The electric field intensity, E = 50 N/C

The energy stored in the charge at 0.3 m is given by the formula,

                                V = k q/r

Where,                        

                                     = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²C⁻²

The charge is moved from the potential V₁ to V₂ at 30 cm

Substituting the given values in the above equation

                            V₁ = 9 x 10⁹ x 30 / 0.3

                                =  1.5 x 10¹² J

And,

                            V₂ = 1.5 x 10¹² J

The energy stored in it is,

                             W = V₂ - V₁

                                  = 0

Hence, the energy stored in the charge is, W = 0
