Wire A has the same length and twice the radius of wire B. Both wires are made of the same material and carry the same current.

Answer:

V_A= \frac{I_A}{n_A e A_A}= \frac{I}{ne 4A_B}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{I}{neA_B}

V_B= \frac{I_B}{n_B e A_B}= \frac{I}{ne A_B}

And as we can see we have that:

V_A = \frac{1}{4} V_B

So then the best answer would be:

a. vA = vB/4

Explanation:

For this case we know the following conditions:

L_A = L_B =L same length

I_A = I_B =I both wires with the same current

Both wires are made of he same material, so then the number of electrons per cubic meter (n) are the same for both wires n_A = n_B =n

We also know that r_A = 2 r_B where r represent the radius.

Since we know that a wire have a cylindrical form we can find the area for each case:

A_A= \pi r^2_A = \pi (2r_B)^2 = 4 \pi r^2_B= 4 A_B

A_B = \pi r^2_B

So then we have that A_A = 4 A_B

Now we know that from the definition the drift velocity of electron in a wire is given by:

v_d = \frac{I}{neA}

Where I is the current, n the number of electrons per cubic meter, e is the charge for the electron and A the area.

If we replace we have this:

V_A= \frac{I_A}{n_A e A_A}= \frac{I}{ne 4A_B}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{I}{neA_B}

V_B= \frac{I_B}{n_B e A_B}= \frac{I}{ne A_B}

And as we can see we have that:

V_A = \frac{1}{4} V_B

So then the best answer would be:

a. vA = vB/4

Discuss the difference between renewable and non- renewable fuels with reference to nuclear fuel and biofuel​
KIM [24]

Answer:

Nonrenewable energy resources, like coal, nuclear, oil, and natural gas, are available in limited supplies. Renewable resources are replenished naturally and over relatively short periods of time. The five major renewable energy resources are solar, wind, water (hydro), biomass, and geothermal.

A turntable must spin at 33.4 rpm (3.50 rad/s) to play an old-fashioned vinyl record. how much torque must the motor deliver if
Westkost [7]
In order to compute the torque required, we may apply Newton's second law for circular motion:
Torque = moment of inertia * angular acceleration

For this, we require the angular acceleration, α. We may calculate this using:
α = Δω/Δt
The time taken to achieve rotational speed may be calculated using:
time = 1 revolution * 2π radians per revolution / 3.5 radians per second
time = 1.80 seconds

α = (3.5 - 0) / 1.8
α = 1.94 rad/s²

The moment of inertia of a thin disc is given by:
I = MR²/2
I = (0.21*0.1525²)/2
I = 0.002

τ = 1.94 * 0.002
τ = 0.004

The torque is 0.004

We have three identical metallic spheres A, B, C. Initially sphere A is charged with charge Q, while B and C are neutral. First,
larisa [96]

Answer:

The final charges of each sphere are:   q_A = 3/8 Q , q_B = 3/8 Q ,               q_C = 3/4 Q

Explanation:

This problem asks for the final charge of each sphere, for this we must use that the charge is distributed evenly over a metal surface.

Let's start Sphere A makes contact with sphere B, whereby each one ends with half of the initial charge, at this point

                q_A = Q / 2

                q_B = Q / 2

Now sphere A touches sphere C, ending with half the charge

                q_A = ½ (Q / 2) = ¼ Q

                q_B = ¼ Q

Now the sphere A that has Q / 4 of the initial charge is put in contact with the sphere B that has Q / 2 of the initial charge, the total charge is the sum of the charge

                  q = Q / 4 + Q / 2 = ¾ Q

This is the charge distributed between the two spheres, sphere A is 3/8 Q and sphere B is 3/8 Q

                  q_A = 3/8 Q

                  q_B = 3/8 Q

The final charges of each sphere are:

                q_A = 3/8 Q

                q_B = 3/8 Q

                q_C = 3/4 Q
