Determine the length of the tungsten filament in a 100 watt lightbulb given: (i) the resistivity of tungsten is 5.6 × 10−8 Ω · m

, (ii) the filament diameter is 0.0018 inches, and (iii) that the filament temperature is about 2550°C when it is "on". Show your work. How is possible to use this length filament in the bulb? Explain! Hint: Assume a ambient temperature of 25°C and an operating voltage of 120Vrms (more on this later!), and you will have to look up the temperature coefficient of tungsten to complete the calculations.

Answer:

0.34148 m

Explanation:

\rho = Resistivity of tungsten = 5.6\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega m

d = Diameter = 0.0018 inch

r = Radius = \dfrac{r}{2}=\dfrac{0.0018}{2}=0.0009\ in

r=0.0009\times 0.0254=0.00002286\ m

\alpha = Temperature coefficient of tungsten = 0.0045 /^{\circ}C

Power is given by

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{120^2}{100}\\\Rightarrow R=144\ \Omega

We have the equation

R_2=R_1[1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)]\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{R_2}{1+\alpha(T_2-T_1)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=\dfrac{144}{1+0.0045(2550-25)}\\\Rightarrow R_1=11.64812\ \Omega

Resistance is given by

R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\Rightarrow l=\dfrac{11.64812\times \pi (0.00002286)^2}{5.6\times 10^{-8}}\\\Rightarrow l=0.34148\ m

The length of the filament is 0.34148 m

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

Explanation:

Given that:

\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3

R = (0.1) m

To find  the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

{\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)

For r < R

Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l

E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}

E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}

where;

\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

Explain the law of conservation of momentum.
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

It says that momentum cannot be created or destroyed. Momentum just passes through systems as opposed to just disappearing in thin air. Momentum can be changed to heat or energy.
