2 characteristics of constant speed

Determine the potential difference between the ends of the wire of resistance 5 Ω if 720 C passes through it per minute.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Resistance, R = 5 ohms

Charge, q = 720 C

Time, t = 1 min = 60 s

We know that the charge flowing per unit charge is called current in the circuit. It is given by :

I = 12 A

Let V is the potential difference between the ends of a wire. It can be calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = IR

V = 60 Volts

So, the potential difference between the ends of a wire is 60 volts. Hence, this is the required solution.

What material parameters determine resistivity?

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Resistivity $\rho =\frac{RA}{l}$

It depends upon cross sectional area and length of material

Explanation:

The resistance of any material is given by $R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$ , here $\rho$ is the resistivity of material , l is length of material and A is cross sectional area

So resistivity $\rho =\frac{RA}{l}$

So resistuivity of any material depends upon area of cross section and length of material

If cross sectional area will be more then resistivity will be more. And is length of the material will be more then resistivity will be less

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

$X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}$

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).
