Answer:

55.8W

Explanation:

P= V^2/R

R= V^2/P

For series connection

Req= R1+ R2= V^2/310 + V^2/180

R=V^2/P= V^2/310 + V^2/180

But V^2 will cancel out

P= 1/(1/310 + 1/180)

P= 55.8W

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Heater 1:

Power, P1 = 310 W

Heater 2:

Power, P2 = 180 W

Power, P = I^2 × R

Equivalent resistance in series, Req

Req = R1 + R2

Where,

R1 = resistance in heater 1

R2 = resistance in heater 2

Total Power, Pt = V^2 × Req

Since they were connected to the same battery of voltage, V. In series connection,

= P1 + P2

P1 = V^2/R1

Req = V^2/P

= V^2/310 + V^2/180

1/Pt = (1/310 + 1/180)

= 0.0087814

Pt = 113.88 W

If the radius of an atom is 60 pm and the radius of the Earth is 6000 km, by how many orders of
kherson [118]

Answer:

1 x 10¹⁷

               

Explanation:

Given data:

        Radius of the earth  = 6000km

        Radius of an atom  = 60pm

Now, how many orders is the radius of the earth larger than an atom

Solution:

To solve this problem, let us express both quantity as the same unit;

         1000m  = 1km

    6000km  = 6000 x 10³m   =  6 x 10⁶m

    60pm;

            1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 1pm

    60pm  = 60 x  1 x 10⁻¹²m  = 6 x 10⁻¹¹m

Now;

The order:   \frac{6 x 10^{6} }{6 x 10^{-11} }   = 1 x 10¹⁷

A horizontal wire is hung from the ceiling of a room by two massless strings. The wire has a length of 0.11 m and a mass of 0.01
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic force acting horizontally will deflect the wire by angle φ from the vertical

Let T be the tension

T cosφ = mg

Tsinφ = Magnetic force

Tsinφ = BiL  , where B is magnetic field , i is current and L is length of wire

Dividing

Tanφ = BiL / mg

= .055 x 29 x .11 / .010 x 9.8

= 1.79

φ = 61° .

Tension T = mg / cosφ

= .01 x 9.8 / cos61

= .2 N .

Calculate the number of electrons passing a point in the wire in 1 min when the current is 1 A
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

When one coulomb charge passes through any cross section of the wire per second,the current passing is one ampere. Charge of electron ,e=1.6X10^-19C. n=1/(1.6X10^-19)=6.25X10^18.Sep 17, 2017
