The resistance of a wire depends upon the material's resistivity and the length and cross‑sectional area of the wire. What will

happen to the resistance of a wire if its length is multiplied by 4?
Physics

Answer:

R' = 4R

The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire at room temperature, is given by the following formula:

R = ρL/A   ----------- equation 1

where,

R = Resistance of wire

ρ = resistivity of the material

L = Length of wire

A = Cross-sectional area of wire

Now, if the length (L) is multiplied by 4, then resistance will become:

R' = ρ(4L)/A

R' = 4 (ρL/A)

using equation 1:

<u>R' = 4R</u>

<u>The resistance will become 4 times the initial value.</u>

Andru [333]

Answer:

The amount of each gas that can dissolve in the ocean depends on the solubility and saturation of the gas in water. Solubility refers to the amount of a dissolved gas that the water can hold under a particular set of conditions, which are usually defined as 0o C and 1 atmosphere of pressure.

If Neptune’s mass were reduced, what could be done to maintain the same force of gravitational attraction between Neptune and th
Alenkinab [10]
Make Neptune closer to the sun because then it would have a stronger gravitation pull. Because the closer the objects are, they will have a stronger gravitaional force and when the object has more mass, the gravity is also stronger. So, if the mass is reduced, the gravity force would be reduced, but if you bring neptune closer, the gravity force would increase

A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm
andrew11 [14]

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

y_1 = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm

Fringe width is also given by

\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}

For second order

\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1

Distance between two second order minima is given by

y_2=2\beta_2

\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm
