The fatal current is 51 mA = 0.051 Ampere.
The resistance is 2,050Ω .
Voltage = (current) x (resistance)
= (0.051 Ampere) x (2,050 Ω) = 104.6 volts .
==================
This is what the arithmetic says IF the information in the question
is correct.
I don't know how true this is, and I certainly don't plan to test it,
but I have read that a current as small as 15 mA through the
heart can be fatal, not 51 mA .
If 15 mA can do it, and the sweaty electrician's resistance is
really 2,050 Ω, then the fatal voltage could be as little as 31 volts !
The voltage at the wall-outlets in your house is 120 volts in the USA !
THAT's why you don't want to stick paper clips or a screwdriver into
outlets, and why you want to cover unused outlets with plastic plugs
if there are babies crawling around.
From Carnot's theorem, for any engine working between these two temperatures:
efficiency <= (1-tc/th) * 100
Given: tc = 300k (from question assuming it is not 5300 as it seems)
For a, th = 900k, efficiency = (1-300/900) = 70%
For b, th = 500k, efficiency = (1-300/500) = 40%
For c, th = 375k, efficiency = (1-300/375) = 20%
Hence in case of a and b, efficiency claimed is lesser than efficiency calculated, which is valid case and in case of c, however efficiency claimed is greater which is invalid.
Answer:
In chemistry, a nonmetal (or non-metal) is a chemical element that mostly lacks the characteristics of a metal. Physically, a nonmetal tends to have a relatively low melting point, boiling point, and density. ... Metalloids such as boron, silicon, and germanium are sometimes counted as nonmetals
