Answer:
The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.
Explanation:
We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.
We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.
Using ohm's law we have
V = I*R
V= voltage
I= current
R= resistance
10 = 2.5*R
R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm
that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.
since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.
R(net) =4ohm
Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.
we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.
We know that the voltage in parallel remains same
In 20 ohm resistance
again using ohms law
V = i1*R1
10 = i1*20
i1 = 0.5A
in 5ohm resistor
V=i2*R2
10 = I2*5
i2 =2A
and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.
Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.
Answer:
During convection, hot material expands & rises then moves to the side and cools & sinks. this circular pattern is called a convection current.
Explanation:
Convection is one of the three methods of transfer of heat. It occurs only in fluids (liquids or gases).
Convection occurs when there is a source of heat that heats a fluid, such as in a boiling pot of water. The water which is on the bottom of the pot becomes warmer before than the water at the top (because it is closer to the flame), and so it becomes less dense: for this reason, it expands and it becomes rising. On the contrary, the water on top is colder, so it is more dense and starts sinking, replacing the warmer water. As the new part of water gets warmer, it starts rising, and so the process is continuously repeated. This circular current is called convection current.
Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .
The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.
Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-
![c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BQ%7D%7Bm%5BT%27-T%5D%7D)
Here c is the specific heat capacity.
The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.
As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.
From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
Reflecting telescope. Reflecting telescopes tend to have larger objective (due to the use of mirrors, mirrors are a lot cheaper than lenses) and have the ability to collect more light, while refracting telescopes are limited to objective lenses with smaller diameters due to their structural limitations (chromatic abbreviation, for example). Therefore, reflecting telescopes should be better at viewing faint distant stars
Answer:
1 kg
Explanation:
The container has negligible mass and no heat is loss to the surrounding.
Mass of ice = 0.4kg, initial temperature of ice = -29oC, final temperature of the mixture = 26oC, mass of water (m2) = ?kg, initial temperature of water = 80oC, c ( specific heat capacity of water ) = 4200J/kg.K, Lf = heat of fusion of water = 3.36 × 10^5 J/kg
Using the formula:
Quantity of heat gain by ice = Quantity of heat loss by water
Quantity of heat gain by ice = mass of ice × heat of fusion of ice + mass of water × specific heat capacity of water = (0.4 × 3.36 × 10^ 5) + (0.4 × 4200 × (26- (-29) = 13.44 × 10^4 + 9.24 × 10^ 4 = 22.68 × 10^4 J
Quantity of heat loss by water = m2cΔT
Quantity of heat loss by water = m2 ×4200× (80 - 26) = m(226800)
since heat gain = heat loss
22.68 × 10^4 = 226800 m2
divide both side by 226800
226800 / 226800 = m2
m2 = 1 kg
