A temperature-stable resistor is made by connecting a resistor made of silicon in series with one made of iron. If the required

total resistance is 1200 capital omega in a wide temperature range around 20degrees Celsius, what should be the resistances of the two resistors? The temperature coefficients of the resistivities for iron and silicon are:

Answer:

The resistance of the silicon has to be 80 Ω and the iron must be 1120 Ω

Explanation:

Lets take

Temperature coefficients of resistivities or iron = 5.\times 10^{-3} K^{-1}

Temperature coefficients of resistivities or silicon = 75.\times 10^{-3} K^{-1}

The resistance of the iron increases a little as the temperature rises

The resistance of the silicon decreases a lot as the temp rises.

So we want the iron to be most of the resistance and have its increase in resistance exactly equal to the drop in resistance of the silicon.  

Since the drop in the silicon is 15 times the rise in the iron ( 75 / 5 ) you want the iron to have 15 time the resistance of the silicon. And the total resistance has to be 1200Ω

1200/15 = 80

So

The resistance of the silicon has to be 80 Ω and the iron must be 1120 Ω

What is the atmospheric pressure and temperature at sea level in a standard<br> atmosphere?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The tropospheric tabulation continues to 11,000 meters (36,089 ft), where the temperature has fallen to −56.5 °C (−69.7 °F), the pressure to 22,632 pascals (3.2825 psi), and the density to 0.3639 kilograms per cubic meter (0.02272 lb/cu ft). Between 11 km and 20 km, the temperature remains constant

An electron and a proton, starting from rest, are accelerated through an electric potential difference of the same magnitude. in
Yakvenalex [24]
The charges are the same in absolute value, so the change of potential energy is the same. That means that the change in kinetic energy is also the same. Then:

1 = Ke/Kp = m_e *v_e^2 / m_p * v_p^2, or

v_e/v_p = sqrt( m_p/m_e),

So the speed of the electron will be sqrt( m_p/m_e) times greater than the speed of the proton

jeka94

Answer:

B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

c=\dfrac{E}{B}

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is 2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T.
