The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as rho=rho0[1+α(T−T0)], where T0

is a reference temperature, usually 20∘C, and α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. Part A First find an expression for the current I through a wire of length L, cross-section area A, and temperature T when connected across the terminals of an ideal battery with terminal voltage ΔV. Then, because the change in resistance is small, use the binomial approximation to simplify your expression. Your final expression should have the temperature coefficient α in the numerator. Express your answer in terms of L, A, T, T0, ΔV, rho0, and α.

Answer:

I = ΔVA[1 - α (T₀ - T)]/Lρ₀

Explanation:

We have the following data:

ΔV = Battery Terminal Voltage

I = Current through wire

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire

T = Temperature of wire, when connected across battery

T₀ = Reference temperature

ρ = Resistivity of wire at temperature T

ρ₀ = Resistivity of wire at reference temperature

α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance

From OHM'S LAW we know that;

ΔV = IR

I = ΔV/R

but,  R = ρL/A   (For Wire)

Therefore,

I = ΔV/(ρL/A)

I = ΔVA/ρL

but,   ρ = ρ₀[1 + α (T₀ - T)]

Therefore,

I = ΔVA/Lρ₀[1 + α (T₀ - T)]

I = [ΔVA/Lρ₀] [1 + α (T₀ - T)]⁻¹

using Binomial Theorem:

(1 +x)⁻¹ = 1 - x + x² - x³ + ...

In case of [1 + α (T₀ - T)]⁻¹, x = α (T₀ - T).

Since, α generally has very low value. Thus, its higher powers can easily be neglected.

Therefore, using this Binomial Approximation, we can write:

[1 + α (T₀ - T)]⁻¹ = [1 - α (T₀ - T)]

Thus, the equation becomes:

<u>I = ΔVA[1 - α (T₀ - T)]/Lρ₀ </u>

A mass of 5 kg of saturated water vapor at 150 kPa is heated at constant pressure until the temperature reaches 200°C. Calculate
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The work done by the steam is 213 kJ.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 5 kg

Pressure = 150 kPa

Temperature = 200°C

We need to calculate the specific volume

Using formula of work done

W=Pm\DeltaV

W=Pm(\dfrac{RT_{1}}{P_{atm}}-\dfrac{RT_{2}}{P_{atm}}

W=\dfrac{PmR}{P_{atm}}(T_{2}-T_{1})

Where,R = gas constant

T = temperature

P = pressure

P_{atm}=Atmosphere pressure

m = mass

Put the value into the formula

W=\dfrac{150\times10^{3}\times5\times287.05}{1.01\times10^{5}}\times(473-373)

W=213\ kJ

Hence, The work done by the steam is 213 kJ.

What was significant about the clay samples from the Western Hemisphere? How was the Alvarez hypothesis modified in response?
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Either Answer you Put is fine i put one as an answer and the other is the sample response and got it right.

My Answer: rather than typical sea floor rock, which had been shocked, melted, and ejected to the surface in minutes, and evidence of colossal seawater movement directly afterwards from sand deposits. Crucially the cores also showed a near complete absence of gypsum, a sulfate-containing rock, which would have been vaporized and dispersed as an aerosol into the atmosphere, confirming the presence of a probable link between the impact and global longer-term effects on the climate and food chain.

Sample Response:

Samples from the Western Hemisphere contained significantly higher amounts of shock-fractured quartz. This led Walter and Luis Alvarez to hypothesize that the asteroid impact site was in the Western Hemisphere.

What are the overall problems with hydrogen energy
OlgaM077 [116]

Expensive: Hydrogen gas actually takes a considerable measure of work to free if from different components. If it were basic and simple to separate, everybody would be utilizing it. It’s now being utilized to power some hybrid vehicles, yet right now it is not a reasonable type of fuel for everybody, mainly because it’s pricey and it’s difficult to get it from place to place. Until research and innovation goes far enough to make this a simpler and cheaper task, hydrogen will likely be something that only the rich can afford.Not Enough Hydrogen Fuel Stations: As you likely know, it’s very difficult to change “the way things are.” As difficult as hydrogen is to create and transport, it gets to be considerably pricier when you consider attempting to utilize it to supplant fuel. There is no current framework set up to hydrogen as the primary fuel for the normal driver. Service stations and vehicles themselves would all must be changed in order to use hydrogen, which can take a lot of time and money to do. It doesn’t seem cost efficient to change from the norm.Safety Concerns: Hydrogen in itself has a lot of power behind it. Though it is less dangerous than gasoline, it’s profoundly flammable and constantly in the news for the potential dangers connected with it. Unlike gas, hydrogen has no smell. Sensors must be used to detect a leak.
