The filament of an incandescent light bulb is made of tungsten which has a thermal coefficient of resistivity of α = 4.4 x 10-3

K-1. The filament is initially at room temperature, To = 293 K. When it is connected across a V = 140 volt power supply the filament quickly heats up to T = 2900 K at which time the current flowing through the filament is I = 0.95 amps.

Answer:

The current when the filament at room temperature is 11.84 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Thermal coefficient of resistivity \alpha=4.4\times10^{-3}\ K^{-1}

Initial temperature = 293 K

Voltage = 140 Volt

Final temperature = 2900 K

Current = 0.95 A

Suppose we find the numerical value of the current when the filament is at room temperature

So, We use the equation of resistance of a material changes with temperature

R=R_{0}(1+\alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))....(I)

Using ohm's law for value of resistance

V = I R

R = \dfrac{V}{I}

Put the value of resistance in the equation (I)

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{V}{I_{0}}(1+\alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))

I_{0}=I(1+\alpha(T_{2}-T_{1}))

Put the value into the formula

I_{0}=0.95(1+4.4\times10^{-3}(2900-293))

I_{0}=11.84\ A

Hence, The current when the filament at room temperature is 11.84 A.

Some element can be either solid or liquid. At the melting point, the liquid has 8 × 10-22 J more enthalpy per atom than the sol
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

481.76 J/mol

133.33 K

Explanation:

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}

Change in enthalpy is given by

\Delta H=8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta H=481.76\ J/mol

Entropy is given by

\Delta S=6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}\\\Rightarrow \Delta S=3.6132\ J/mol K

Latent heat of fusion is given by

L_f=\Delta H\\\Rightarrow L_f=481.76\ J/mol

The latent heat of fusion is 481.76 J/mol

Melting point is given by

T_m=\dfrac{L_f}{\Delta S}\\\Rightarrow T_m=\dfrac{8\times 10^{-22}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}{6\times 10^{-24}\times 6.022\times 10^{23}}\\\Rightarrow T_f=133.33\ K

Melting occurs at 133.33 K

The eiffel tower has a mass of 7.3 million kilograms and a height of 324 meters. its base is square with a side length of 125 me
uranmaximum [27]

Since the tower base is square with a side length of  125 m,

Therefore,

(125\ m)^2+ (125\ m)^2=31250 m^2

Square root of 31250 = 176.776953 (Diameter) , so this is the diameter of the cylinder to enclose it, and radius, r = 88.38834765 m and height, h = 324 m.

The volume of cylinder,

=\pi r^2h=3.14(88.38834765 m)^2\times 324 m =7948168.803\ m^3

Thus, the mass of the air in the cylinder,

=1.225\ kg/m^3 \times 7948168.803\ m^3=9736506.78\ kg

Hence, the mass of the air in the cylinder is this more  than the mass of the tower.
