Answer: The temperature of air would decrease.

Explanation:

The energy gets transferred from hot object to cold object until the two objects are in thermal equilibrium. When air transfers energy to a cooler object, it means the air it self is cooling down till the air and the object are in thermal equilibrium. Thus, the temperature of air would decrease.

An AC adapter for a telephone-answering unit uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V (rms) to a voltage of 9.0 V.

Illusion [34]

Answer:

1. The number of turns on the secondary output is 18

2. The root mean square power delivered to the transformer is 48 Watts.

Explanation:

A transformer is an electronic device that can be used for increasing or decreasing the value of a given voltage. It consists of primary coils and secondary coil of a definte number of turns. When voltage flows in the primary coil, it induces voltage in the secondary coil. The two types are: step-up and step down transformers.

1. For a given transformer,

$\frac{V_{s} }{V_{p} }$ = $\frac{N_{s} }{N_{p} }$

where $V_{s}$ is the value of the induced voltage in the secondary coil, $V_{p}$ is he voltage in the primary coil, and $N_{s}$ is the number of turns of the secondary coil, $N_{p}$ is the number of turns in the primary coil.

From the question,

$V_{s}$ = 9.0 V, $V_{p}$ = 120 V, $N_{p}$ = 240, $N_{s}$ = ?

So that,

$N_{s}$ = $\frac{V_{s}*N_{p} }{V_{p} }$

= $\frac{9 * 240}{120}$

= 18

The number of turns on the secondary output is 18.

2. $Power_{rms}$ = $I_{rms}$ × $V_{rms}$

= 0.4 × 120

= 48 W

The rms power delivered to the transformer is 48 Watts.

Why is the energy stored in the wire per unit volume=1/2*strain*stress

Sav [38]

Answer:

have tried it and the units end up being Nm^-2 (the unit of stress) however the unit for joules is Nm.

Complete Question: A charge q1 = 2.2 uC is at a distance d= 1.63m from a second charge q2= -5.67 uC. (b) Find a point between the two charges on the horizontal line where the electric potential is zero. (Enter your answer as measured from q1.)

Answer:

d= 0.46 m

Explanation:

The electric potential is defined as the work needed, per unit charge, to bring a positive test charge from infinity to the point of interest.

For a point charge, the electric potential, at a distance r from it, according to Coulomb´s Law and the definition of potential, can be expressed as follows:

V = $\frac{k*q}{r}$
