The unit used to measure electric current is the ampere (A). Now, assume that the current delivered at a wall socket reaches the

value 3.8 A ten times in a time interval of 0.17 s. What is the period T with which the current at the wall socket changes?

Answer:

T = 0.017s

Explanation:

period is the time it takes a particle to make one oscillation

An electric current is periodic in nature

The current reaches 3.8A ten times.

So there must have been 10 cycles (10 periods) in 0.17s. let 'T' be the period:

$T=\frac{t}{n}$

t is the total time interval

n is the number of oscillations

$T=\frac{0.17}{10}$

10T = 0.17

T = 0.17/10 = 0.017s

Alchen [17]

Answer : The change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.

According to this law, the chemical equation can be treated as ordinary algebraic expression and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

The given main reaction is,

$4XY_3+7Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z+4XZ_2$ $\Delta H=?$

The intermediate balanced chemical reaction will be,

(1) $X_2+3Y_2\rightarrow 2XY_3$ $\Delta H_1=-370kJ$

(2) $X_2+2Z_2\rightarrow 2XZ_2$ $\Delta H_2=-120kJ$

(3) $2Y_2+Z_2\rightarrow 2Y_2Z$ $\Delta H_3=-270kJ$

Now we will reverse the reaction 1 and multiply reaction 1 by 2, reaction 2 by 2 and reaction 3 by 3 then adding all the equations, we get :

(1) $4XY_3\rightarrow 2X_2+6Y_2$ $\Delta H_1=2\times (+370kJ)=740kJ$

(2) $2X_2+4Z_2\rightarrow 4XZ_2$ $\Delta H_2=2\times (-120kJ)=-240kJ$

(3) $6Y_2+3Z_2\rightarrow 6Y_2Z$ $\Delta H_3=3\times (-270kJ)=-810kJ$

The expression for enthalpy of formation of $CH_4$ will be,

$\Delta H=\Delta H_1+\Delta H_2+\Delta H_3$

$\Delta H=(+740kJ)+(-240kJ)+(-810kJ)$

$\Delta H=-310kJ$

Therefore, the change in enthalpy of the reaction is, -310 kJ

Consider four point charges arranged in a square with sides of length L. Three of the point charges have charge q and one of the

nydimaria [60]

Answer: $F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Explanation:

Given

Three charges of magnitude q is placed at three corners and fourth charge is placed at last corner with -q charge

Force due to the charge placed at diagonally opposite end on -q charge

$F_1=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L\sqrt{2})^2}$

where $L\sqrt{2}=$ Distance between the two charges

$F_1=-\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

negative sign indicates that it is an attraction force

Now remaining two charges will apply the same amount of force as they are equally spaced from -q charge

$F_2=\frac{kq(-q)}{(L)^2}$

The magnitude of force by both the charge is same but at an angle of $90^{\circ}$

thus combination of two forces at 2 and 3 will be

$F'=\sqrt{2}\frac{kq^2}{2L^2}$

Now it will add with force due to 1 charge

Thus net force will be

$F_{net}=\frac{kq^2}{(L)^2}\left [ \frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2}\right ]$

Find the equivalent resistance Req between terminals a and b if terminals c and d are open and again if terminals c and d are sh

adoni [48]

Answer:

351 ohm

720 ohm

Explanation:

When c and d are open:

Terminals c and d are open.. If you redraw the circuit as below, you can see that the two resistors in the first column are in parallel as, they are connected together at both pairs of terminals (due to the short).

Hence, we have a pair of parallel resistors:

Req1 = (R1*R2)/ (R1 + R2) = 360*540/(360+540) = 216 ohms

Req2 = (R3*R4)/ (R3 + R4) = 180*540/(180+540) = 135 ohms

Now these two sets are in series with another Hence,

Req = Req1 + Req2 = 216 + 135 = 351 ohms

Answer: 351 ohms

When c and d are shorted:

The current will flow through the least resistant path naturally from resistors R3 and R1 or R4.

Both of these resistor lie in a single path placing the resistors in series to one another, hence

Req = R3 + R1 = 180 + 540 = 720 ohms

Answer:720 ohms
