Answer:

(a) 21.36 ohms

(b) 5.62 A

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Potential difference, V = 120 V

Power, P = 674 W

(a) Power is given as:

P = V²/R

Where R is resistance

=> R = V²/P

R = 120²/674

R = 14400/674

R = 21.36 ohms

(b) Power is also given as:

P = I*V

Where I = Current (time rate of flow of Electric charge)

=> I = P/V

I = 674/120

I = 5.62 A

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

V = 120 V

Power = 674 W

A.

Resistance, R;

P = I × V

= V^2/R

R = 120^2/674

= 21.36 ohms

B.

dQ/dt = I

Using ohms law,

Current, I = V/R

= 120/21.36

= 5.62 C/s(A)

1 electron = 1.602 × 10^-19 C

Number of electrons in 1 second = 5.62/1.602 × 10^-19

= 3.51 × 10^19 per second

I need help with my physics homework agh! Please help it's due tomorrow. <br>​
storchak [24]

Rubbing both pieces cause each piece to have a negative charge.

When two parts have the same they repel each other, so holding one piece up tot he end of the other piece would push it away.

Because one piece is held in the middle by a string, it would rotate the piece in a circle.

If they held the piece to the other end of the one held by a string it would start to rotate in the opposite direction.

Can someone explain how they got their answer or how I get the change in number? :(
enyata [817]

Answer:

See Below

Explanation:

Okay, I thinkkk what it is asking by what you summarzied for me issss:

They split the total time into four quarters. They then took (for the first quarter) the start time. Then when the first quarter ends and the second quarter starts is the "end" time.

They then subtract the start time of the second quarter from the end time of the first quarter.

I hope this helps, good luck! :D
