\Delta L= \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)
= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)
= -0.00225 m
New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248
So your answer is B.
Answer:

Explanation:
The heaviside function is defined as:

so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" when
, and remains switched on when 
If we want our heaviside function to switch on when
, we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when 
Thus we define a function f:

The
term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.
Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. (
when
, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)
Therefore our final result is:

I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
Answer:
the needle will direct its North South according to the magnetic field of current carrying wire.
Explanation:
A current carrying wire always has a magnetic field around it, in circular loops. This magnetic field will be either clockwise or anticlockwise depending on the direction of current.
Right hand rule tells the direction. Place the current carrying wire in your right hand with thumb pointing the direction of current. Curl of the fingers tell the direction of current.
When the needle gets in the vicinity of the field, its poles aligns itself with the field. (previous position of the compass needle has no effect on its position in the field). The north pole and south pole will be set in the direction of magnetic field.
The distance between the needle and wire does effect the strength (accuracy) of the needle position. Strong field will create strong deflection of the needle whereas when the distance from wire increases, field weakens, thus the deflection of needle will be weak.
Answer:
So... for the element of NITROGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 7 electrons in a nitrogen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and five in shell two.
