A mercury thermometer has a cylindrical capillary tube with an internal diameter of 0.2 mm. If the volume of the thermometer and

that of the bulb are not affected by temperature, what volume must the bulb have if a sensitivity of 2mm/°C is to be obtained? Assume operation near 24°C. Assume the stem volume is negligible compared with the bulb internal volume. Differential expansion coefficient of Hg=1.82x10^-4 ml/(ml°C).

To solve this problem we will proceed to calculate the specific volume from the area of the cylinder and the sensitivity. Later we will calculate the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion and finally we will be able to calculate the volume through the relation of the two terms mentioned above. Our values are

\text{Sensitivity}= 2mm/\°C

\text{Internal diameter } d= 0.2mm

\text{Differential expansion of Hg } \lambda_L = 1.82*10^{-4}/\°C

Let's start by calculating the specific volume which is given by

v = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^2 \gamma

Here,

d = Diameter

\gamma = Sensitivity

Replacing our values we have

v = (\frac{\pi}{4})(0.2mm)^2(2mm/\°C)

v = 0.0628mm^3 /\°C

Now we will obtain the value of the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion of mercury through the differential expansion coefficient of Hg whic is three times, then

\lambda_V = 3\lambda_L

\lambda_V = 3(1.82*10^{-4}/\°C)

\lambda_V = 5.46*10^{-4}/\°C

Finally the relation to calculate the volume the bulb must is

\text{Specific volume} = \text{Bulb Volume} \times \text{Volumetric Coefficient}

v = v_B \times \lambda_V

v_B = \frac{v}{\lambda_V}

v_B = \frac{0.0628mm^3/\°C}{5.46*10^{-4}/\°C}

v_B = 115mm^3

Therefore the volume that the bulb must have is 115mm^3

A car generator turns at 400 rpm (revolutions per minute) when the engine is idling. It has a rectangular coil with 300 turns of
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The field strength needed is 0.625 T

Explanation:

Given;

angular frequency, ω = 400 rpm = (2π /60) x (400) = 41.893 rad/s

area of the rectangular coil, A =  L x B = 0.0611 x 0.05 = 0.003055 m²

number of tuns of the coil, N = 300 turns

peak emf = 24 V

The peak emf is given by;

emf₀ = NABω

B = (emf₀ ) / (NA ω)

B = (24) / (300 x 0.003055 x 41.893)

B = 0.625 T

Therefore, the field strength needed is 0.625 T
