A hair dryer draws a current of 10 A plugged into a 120 V outlet. What is the resistance of the hair dryer?

This problem can be solved by the formula used to find resistance. The formula is R=V/I which basically means divide the Voltage by the Current to find the Resistance in an object. Ohm's law.

Answer: The resistance of the hair dryer is $12\Omega$

Explanation:

Ohm's law is defined as the law which gives us the relationship between voltage, resistance and current.

Mathematically,

$V=I\times R$

where,

V = voltage of the hair dryer = 120 V

I = current of the hair dryer = 10 A

R = resistance of the hair dryer = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$120=10\times R\\\\R=\frac{120}{10}=12\Omega$

Hence, the resistance of the hair dryer is $12\Omega$

How does deforestation contribute to the greenhouse effect?

bija089 [108]

There are two main effects of deforestation on global warming: 1) the "slash and burn" technique used to clear the forest releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and 2) destruction of living trees reduces the amount of photosynthesis, a process that removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in the plants as carbon. Carbon dioxide is one of the major gases contributing to global warming, and increasing its concentration will affect the amount of warming that occurs.

:What will be the value of the refractive index of the medium? Critical angle of that medium is 30 degree

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)

The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)

(a) n₂ = 2

Explanation:

Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.

Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.

Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:

$\theta_{critical}= sin^{-1}(\frac{n_1}{n_2})$

$sin \theta_{critical}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}$

To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)

Also θ(critical)=30°

Find n₂ :

$sin30= \frac{1}{n_2}\\0.5=\frac{1}{n_2}\\n_2=\frac{1}{0.5}\\n_2=2$

How can wind put off fire?

kipiarov [429]

♥ If the wind is strong enough it can do so.
♥ By having a strong enough wind you can blow out the fire before the flame can consume any more vapor.
♥ If the wind is fast enough, like a birthday cake candle for example, the wind will burn out.
