There is a current of 112 pA when a certain potential is applied across a certain resistor. When that same potential is applied

across a resistor made of the identical material but 25 times longer, the current is 0.044 pA. Compare the effective diameters of the two resistors.

Answer:

<h3>First wire is 10 times larger in diameter than the second wire.</h3><h3>\frac{ d_{1} }{ d_{2}   } ≅ 10</h3>

Explanation:

Given :

Current in first wire I_{1} = 112 \times 10^{-12} A

Current in second wire I_{2}  = 0.044 \times 10^{-12} A

Length of first wire = l_{1}

Length of second wire = 25 l_{1}

Here potential across a resistor is same.

From ohm's law,

  V =IR

Where R =resistance of the wire,

Resistor of wire is given by,

<h3>   R = \frac{\rho l}{A}</h3>

Where A = cross section area of the wire = \pi r^{2}

We write area in terms of diameter d = 2r

<h3>  A = \frac{\pi d^{2}  }{4}</h3>

Now we have to compare current in both wires,

I_{1} R_{1} = I_{2}R_{2}

Put the value of resistor in terms of its diameter,

<h2>   \frac{l_{1} d_{2}^{2} }{l_{2} d_{1}^{2}   } = \frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }</h2><h2> \frac{l_{1} d_{2}^{2} } { 25l_{1}  d_{1}^{2}   } = \frac{112 \times 10^{-12}  }{0.044 \times 10^{-12}  }</h2>

     \frac{ d_{2}^{2} }{ d_{1}^{2}   } = 0.0098

     \frac{ d_{2} }{ d_{1}}   } = \sqrt{0.0098} =  0.099

     \frac{ d_{1} }{ d_{2}   } = \frac{1}{0.099}  = 10.10

     \frac{ d_{1} }{ d_{2}   } ≅ 10

<h3>So we can say that first wire is 10 times larger in diameter than the second wire.</h3>

Interchangeably means​
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Interchangeable is something that can be used in the same manner as something else without any important differences.

or in a more simple way

something that can be exchange

For example when two sweaters look almost the same and you could easily wear either one with a particular skirt, this is an example of when the sweaters can be worn interchangeably.

What is the wavelength of an earthquake wave if it has a speed of 13 km/s and a frequency of 14 Hz?
Galina-37 [17]
Wavelength = velocity/frequency

wavelength = v/f
v= 13km/s = change this to m/s = 13000m/s
f= 14Hz

wavelength = 13000m/s÷14Hz =928.7 m
