An LDR's resistance changes with light intensity, while a thermistor's resistancce changes with temperature.

In dark, LDR's resistance is large and in the day/light LDR's resistance is small.

At low temperature, thermistor's resistance is large, while at large temperature it resistance is small.

In an LDR Resistance increases as light intensity falls, while in a thermistor resistance falls as temperature falls.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Sarah is right

Explanation:

This is an exercise that differentiates between scalars and vectors.

A scalar is a number, instead a vector is a number that represents the module in addition to direction and sense.

In this case, the distance (scalar) traveled is a number, which is why it is worth 1500m, but the displacement is a vector and since the point where it leaves is the same point where the vector's modulus arrives is zero, so the DISPLACEMENT VECTOR is zero

consequently Sarah is right

An inductor is connected to a 26.5 Hz power supply that produces a 41.2 V rms voltage. What minimum inductance is needed to keep

alexira [117]

Answer:

The minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the AC, f = 26.5 Hz

the root mean square voltage in the circuit, $V_{rms}$ = 41.2 V

the maximum current in the circuit, I₀ = 126 mA

The root mean square current is given by;

$I_{rms} = \frac{I_o}{\sqrt{2} } \\\\I_{rms} = \frac{126*10^{-3}}{\sqrt{2} }\\\\I_{rms} =0.0891 \ A$

The inductive reactance is given by;

$X_l = \frac{V_{rms}}{I_{rms}} \\\\X_l= \frac{41.2}{0.0891}\\\\X_l = 462.4 \ ohms$

The minimum inductance needed is given by;

$X_l = \omega L\\\\X_l = 2\pi fL\\\\L = \frac{X_l}{2\pi f}\\\\L = \frac{462.4}{2\pi *26.5}\\\\L = 2.78 \ H$

Therefore, the minimum inductance needed is 2.78 H

If V has a magnitude of 14 units and the same direction qs a vector 3i+6j+2k find v

melomori [17]

Answer:

v = 6i + 12j + 4k

Explanation:

Find the magnitude of the direction vector.

√(3² + 6² + 2²) = 7

Normalize the direction vector.

3/7 i + 6/7 j + 2/7 k

Multiply by the magnitude of v.

v = 14 (3/7 i + 6/7 j + 2/7 k)

v = 6i + 12j + 4k

A charged paint is spread in a very thin uniform layer over the surface of a plastic sphere of diameter 13.0 cm , giving it a ch

Leokris [45]

a) Electric field inside the paint layer: zero

b) Electric field just outside the paint layer: $-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C$

c) Electric field 8.00 cm outside the paint layer: $-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C$

Explanation:

We can find the electric field inside the paint layer by applying Gauss Law: the total flux of the electric field through a gaussian surface is equal to the charge contained within the surface divided by the vacuum permittivity, mathematically:

$\int EdS = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

where

E is the electric field

dS is the element of surface

q is the charge within the gaussian surface

$\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m$ is the vacuum permittivity

Here we want to find the electric field just inside the paint layer, so we take a sphere of radius $r$ as Gaussian surface, where

R = 6.5 cm = 0.065 m is the radius of the plastic sphere (half the diameter)

By taking the sphere of radius r, we note that the net charge inside this sphere is zero, therefore

$q=0$

So we have

$\int E dS=0$

which means that the electric field inside the paint layer is zero.

Now we want to find the electric field just outside the paint layer: therefore, we take a Gaussian sphere of radius

$r=R=0.065 m$

The area of the surface is

$A=4\pi R^2$

And since the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at any point, Gauss Law becomes

$E\cdot 4\pi R^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

The charge included within the sphere in this case is the charge on the paint layer, therefore

$q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

So, the electric field is:

$E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 R^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.065)^2}=-3.62\cdot 10^7 N/C$

where the negative sign means the direction of the field is inward, since the charge is negative.

Here we want to calculate the electric field 8.00 cm outside the surface of the paint layer.

Therefore, we have to take a Gaussian sphere of radius:

$r=8.00 cm + R = 8.00 + 6.50 = 14.5 cm = 0.145 m$

Gauss theorem this time becomes

$E\cdot 4\pi r^2 = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

And the charge included within the sphere is again the charge on the paint layer,

$q=-17.0\mu C=-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}C$

Therefore, the electric field is

$E=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0 r^2}=\frac{-17.0\cdot 10^{-6}}{4\pi(8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.145)^2}=-7.27\cdot 10^7 N/C$
