What is the use of 'ground' in electric circuit?

1 answer:

5 0

In electrical engineering, ground or earth is the reference point in an electrical circuit from which voltages are measured, a common return path for electric current, or a direct physical connection to the earth. Electrical circuits may be connected to ground (earth) for several reasons.

A 1,400 kg car accelerates from rest to 30 m/s in 6.0 seconds. what is the net force on the car?

Allushta [10]

So your finding acceleration first which is 30m/s divides by 6 seconds equals 5m/s^s and then multiply that by 1,400 kg and you have net force which is 7,000N

4 (JAMB) The diagram below shows a light see-saw, which is balanced horizontally by the weights W₁, W2, W3, W4 in the positions

damaskus [11]

The equation that represents the principle of the lever balance is:

W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4; option A.

<h3>What is the principle of moments?</h3>

The principle of moments states when a body is in equilibrium, the sum of the clockwise moment about a point equals the sum of anticlockwise moment about that point.

A see-saw represents a balanced system of moments.

The sum of clockwise moment = The sum of anticlockwise moments.

Assuming W1 and W2 are clockwise moments and W3 and W4 are anticlockwise moments.

The equation will b: W₁ + W₂ = W3 + W4

In conclusion, a balanced see-saw illustrates the principle of the lever balance.

How can you tell if an igneous rock has an intrusive or extrusive origin?

wariber [46]

Intrusive igneous rocks cool down from magma slowly because they form underneath the surface, that will make them have large crystals.

Extrusive igneous rocks cool down from lava rapidly because they form at the surface, so that will make them have small crystals.

<h2>ANSWERS </h2>

1) The relationship in between the electrical energy carriesd by the transmission wires and the amount of the heat loss in it is due to the reason that when the electricity is flown through the wires there are some resistance found in these wires which creates a disturbance in the efficient flow of electricty.Also we know that current have an heating effect when it is in motion as due to if a large amount or magnitude of electricity is flown through the transmission wires it will carry a larger heat effected and also due to the resistance is provided by the wires and so the process of heat loss takes place.

2)It is important to minimize current in transmission wires due to minimize the heat loss and resistance on flowing electric current to make the system more efficient 

 3)Given Resistance = 250 ohms 

Electric potential = 150 volts 

so we know Power = 

volt^2/Resistance = 

=(150^2/250)(ohms/volts)

=(22500/250)watt = 90 watt 

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)

4)Heat energy (H) = Power(P)×Time(t)= (90×2)joules = 180 joules
