Voltage is given by the formula

V = IR (Ohms law)

where V is the Voltage

I is the current

and R is the Resistance

Here it is given that the current is I=11

Resistance is R =12

so plugging this in the formula

V = IR

V= 11 * 12

V= 132 Volts

So the Voltage for the given dryer is 132 Volts

A 13.4-mH inductor carries a current i = <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=I_%7Bmax%7D" id="TexFormula1" title="I_{max}" alt="I_

Digiron [165]

The voltage across an inductor ' L ' is

V = L · dI/dt .

I(t) = I(max) sin(ωt)

dI/dt = I(max) ω cos(ωt)

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

L = 1.34 x 10⁻² H

ω = 2π · 60 = 377 /sec

I(max) = 4.80 A

V = L · ω · I(max) cos(ωt)

V = (1.34 x 10⁻² H) · (377 / sec) · (4.8 A) · cos(377 t)

V is an AC voltage with peak value of 24.25 volts and frequency = 60 Hz.

The total electric flux from a cubical box 26.0 cm on a side is 1840 N m2/C. What charge is enclosed by the box?

vitfil [10]

The expression of the electric flux is

$\Phi = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}$

Here,

Q = Total charge enclosed in the closed surface

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity due to free space

Rearranging to find the charge,

$Q = \epsilon_0 \Phi$

Replacing with our values we have finally

$Q = (8.85*10^{-12}F\cdot m^{-1})(1.84*10^3 N\cdot m^2/C)$

$Q = 1.6284*10^{-8} C$ $(\frac{10^9nC}{1C})$

$Q = 0.1684nC$

The charge enclosed by the box is 0.1684nC

The sign of the charge can be decided by using the direction of the flux. The charge enclosed by the cube can be calculated by using the electric flux and the permitivity of free space.

Which of the following wavelengths will produce standing waves on a string that is 3.5 m long?

denpristay [2]

In a string of length L, the wavelength of the n-th harmonic of the standing wave produced in the string is given by:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{n} L$

The length of the string in this problem is L=3.5 m, therefore the wavelength of the 1st harmonic of the standing wave is:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{1} \cdot 3.5 m=7.0 m$

The wavelength of the 2nd harmonic is:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{2} \cdot 3.5 m=3.5 m$

The wavelength of the 4th harmonic is:

$\lambda=\frac{2}{4} \cdot 3.5 m=1.75 m$

It is not possible to find any integer n such that $\lambda=5 m$ , therefore the correct options are A, B and D.
