Answer: True

Explanation:

Water cycle can be define as the hydrological cycle, in which the constant movement of water in it's various forms takes place among different spheres of the earth.

The main energy source for water cycle comes from the heat energy from the sunlight. The sunlight warms up the water in the water body on a large scale which leads to the evaporation of water. The evaporated water accumulates in the atmosphere the condensation of which leads to the precipitation in the form of rain, snow or hails. This way water comes back to the biosphere and hydrosphere.

On the basis of the above explanation, the statement, The energy for the water cycle comes from the Sun is true.

A closely wound search coil has an area of 3.21 cm2, 120 turns, and a resistance of 58.7 O. It is connected to a charge-measurin

Answer:

The magnetic field in the System is 0.095T

Explanation:

To solve the exercise it is necessary to use the concepts related to Faraday's Law, magnetic flux and ohm's law.

By Faraday's law we know that

$\epsilon = \frac{NBA}{t}$

Where,

$\epsilon =$ electromotive force

N = Number of loops

B = Magnetic field

A = Area

t= Time

For Ohm's law we now that,

V = IR

Where,

I = Current

R = Resistance

V = Voltage (Same that the electromotive force at this case)

In this system we have that the resistance in series of coil and charge measuring device is given by,

$R = R_c + R_d$

And that the current can be expressed as function of charge and time, then

$I = \frac{q}{t}$

Equation Faraday's law and Ohm's law we have,

$V = \epsilon$

$IR = \frac{NBA}{t}$

$(\frac{q}{t})(R_c+R_d) = \frac{NBA}{t}$

Re-arrange for Magnetic Field B, we have

$B = \frac{q(R_c+R_d)}{NA}$

Our values are given as,

$R_c = 58.7\Omega$

$R_d = 45.5\Omega$

$N = 120$

$q = 3.53*10^{-5}C$

$A = 3.21cm^2 = 3.21*10^{-4}m^2$

Replacing,

$B = \frac{(3.53*10^{-5})(58.7+45.5)}{120*3.21*10^{-4}}$

$B = 0.095T$

Therefore the magnetic field in the System is 0.095T

If you touch the two terminals of a power supply with your two fingertips on opposite hands, the potential difference will produ

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

Do tides depend more on the strength of gravitational pull or on the difference in strengths? explain.

SSSSS [86.1K]

Tides are influenced by the force of gravity exerted by the earth, moon and the sun. The sun has a larger mass than the moon and as such has a greater gravitational pull on the earth. the moon however has greater influence over the tides because they are caused by the difference in gravity fields. This means that the moon is the dominant influence due to the fact that the fractional difference in its force across the earth is greater than that seen from the sun.
