An oceanographer is studying how the ion concentration in seawater depends on depth. She makes a measurement by lowering into th

e water a pair of concentric metallic cylinders at the end of a cable and taking data to determine the resistance between these electrodes as a function of depth. The water between the two cylinders forms a cylindrical shell of inner radius r_a, outer radius r_b, and length L much larger than r_b. The scientist applies a potential difference Delta V between the inner and outer surfaces, producing an outward radial current I. Let rho represent the resistivity of the water.
(a) Find the resistance of the water between the cylinders in terms of L, rho, r_a, and r_b.
(b) Express the resistivity of the water in terms of the measured quantities L, r_a, r_b, Delta V and I.

Answer:

a)  R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²) , b)  ρ₀ = V / I    π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

Explanation:

a) The resistance of a material is given by

          R = ρ l / A

where ρ is the resistivity, l is the length and A is the area

the length is l = L and the resistivity is ρ = ρ₀

the area is the area of ​​the cylindrical shell

           A = π r_b² - π r_a²

           A = π (r_b² - r_a²)

we substitute

         R = ρ₀ L /π(r_b² - R_a²)

b) The potential difference is related to current and resistance by ohm's law

         V = i R

         

we subsist the expression of resistance

          V = I ρ₀ L /π (r_b² - R_a²)

           ρ₀ = V / I    π (r_b² - R_a²) / L

What did Rutherford’s model of the atom include that Thomson’s model did not have?
Ksivusya [100]
Rutherford overturned Thomson's model in 1911 with his well-known gold foil experiment in which he demonstrated that the atom has a tiny and heavy nucleus. Rutherford designed an experiment to use the alpha particles emitted by a radioactive element as probes to the unseen world of atomic structure.

Answer:

9704.6 J

Explanation:

Total Thermal Energy

= Energy required to bring gold to melting point + Energy required to change the state of gold from solid to liquid
