That depends on what you want to use them for.

As sources of light, they are somewhere around 15% - 20% efficient.

As heaters, they are somewhere around 80% - 85% efficient.

If a conducting loop of radius 10 cm is onboard an instrument on Jupiter at 45 degree latitude, and is rotating with a frequency
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a)  fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V,  b) I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A, c)    P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

Explanation:

This exercise is about Faraday's law

         fem = - \frac{ d \Phi_B}{dt}

where the magnetic flux is

        Ф = B x A

the bold are vectors

        A = π r²

we assume that the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the area is zero

         fem = - B π 2r dr/dt = - 2π B r v

linear and angular velocity are related

        v = w r

        w = 2π f

        v = 2π f r

we substitute

        fem = - 2π B r (2π f r)

        fem = -4π² B f r²

For the magnetic field of Jupiter we use the equatorial field B = 428 10⁻⁶T

we reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

       f = 2 rev / s (2π rad / 1 rev) = 4π Hz

we calculate

       fem = - 4π² 428 10⁻⁶ 4π 0.10²

       fem = - 16π³ 428 10⁻⁶ 0.010

       fem = - 2.1514 10⁻⁴ V

for the current let's use Ohm's law

        V = I R

        I = V / R

         I = -2.1514 10⁻⁴ / 0.00336

         I = - 64.0 10⁻³ A

Electric power is

        P = V I

        P = 2.1514 10⁻⁴ 64.0 10⁻³

        P = 1.38  10⁻⁶ W

How does Newton's second law of motion gives the measurement of force?
Alex Ar [27]
Hi pupil here's your answer ::

_____________________________

How does Newton's second law of motion gives the measurement of force?
So the answer is first : what is newton's second law? =》The rate of change of momentum of an object is equivalent to particular direction of the FORCE
=> This is how Newton's second law of motion gives the measurement of FORCE .

=>It gives measurement as the equation
》 F=MA《
Where F is force , M is mass of the object , and A is the acceleration produced .

Which calculates the intensity of an electric field at a point where a 0.50 C charge experiences a force of 20. N?
tester [92]

Answer: 40\ N/C

Explanation:

Given

Magnitude of charge is q=0.5\ C

Force experienced is F=20\ N

Electric field intensity is the electrostatic force per unit charge

\therefore E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{20}{0.50}\\\\\Rightarrow E=40\ N/C

Thus, the electric field intensity is 40\ N/C
