Describe three electrical appliances that use circuits to convert electrical energy into other forms of energy.

1 answer:

3 0

We see that around us there are many things that makes use of circuits to make our lives easier Circuits are used to convert electrical energy to other forms of energy. For instance, a heater contains circuits which converts the electrical energy into heat. A circuit in a fan converts the electrical energy into motion. In a doorbell, the circuits are used to convert electrical energy into sound.

What is the first semiconductor

English "natural philosopher" (the contemporary term for physicist) Michael Faraday is renowned for his discovery of the principles of electro-magnetic induction and electro-magnetic rotation, the interaction between electricity and magnetism that led to the development of the electric motor and generator. The unit of measurement of electrical capacitance - the farad (F) - is named in his honor. Faraday's experimental work in chemistry, which included the discovery of benzene, also led him to the first documented observation of a material that we now call a semiconductor. While investigating the effect of temperature on "sulphurette of silver" (silver sulfide) in 1833 he found that electrical conductivity increased with increasing temperature. This effect, typical of semiconductors, is the opposite of that measured in metals such as copper, where conductivity decreases as temperature is increased. In a chapter entitled "On Conducting Power Generally" in his book Experimental Researches in Electricity Faraday writes "I have lately met with an extraordinary case ... which is in direct contrast with the influence of heat upon metallic bodies ... On applying a lamp ... the conducting power rose rapidly with the heat ... On removing the lamp and allowing the heat to fall, the effects were reversed." We now understand that raising the temperature of most semiconductors increases the density of charge carriers inside them and hence their conductivity. This effect is used to make thermistors - special resistors that exhibit a decrease in electrical resistance (or an increase in conductivity) with an increase in temperature.

A transformer is intended to decrease the value of the alternating current from 500 amperes to 25 amperes. The primary coil cont

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

Explanation:

Given:

Current in primary coil $I_{P} = 500$ A

Current in secondary coil $I_{S} = 25$ A

Number of turns in primary coil $N_{P} = 200$

In case of transformer the relation between current and number of turns is given by,

$\frac{N_{S} }{N_{P} } = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} }$

For finding number of turns in secondary coil,

$N_{S} = \frac{I_{P} }{I_{S} } N_{P}$

$N_{S} = \frac{500}{25} \times 200$

$N_{S} = 4000$

Therefore, the number of turns in secondary coil is 4000

2. For each pair of variables, identify which is the independent and which is the dependent variable. a. How much gas is left in

Korvikt [17]

For each pair Independent variable and the dependent variable is -

a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.

Independent variable = how far the car has traveled

dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank

b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.

Independent variable = How much money you've spent

dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.

c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by

Independent variable = how much time went by

dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled

An independent variable in any experiment or research is a variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment, this change leads to a direct effect on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is a variable that is directly affected by the independent variable and it is the variable that is measured or tested in an experiment.

Thus,

a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.

Independent variable = how far the car has traveled

dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank

b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.

Independent variable = How much money you've spent

dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.

c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by

Independent variable = how much time went by

dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled
