Answer:

The radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Explanation:

Given;

potential at surface, V_s = 450 V

potential at radial distance, V_r = 150

radial distance, l = 8.1 m

Apply Coulomb's law of electrostatic force;

V = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_s = \frac{KQ}{r} \\\\V_r = \frac{KQ}{r+ l}

450 = \frac{KQ}{r} ------equation (i)\\\\150 = \frac{KQ}{r+8.1} ------equation (ii)\\\\divide \ equation (i)\ by \ equation \ (ii)\\\\\frac{450}{150} = (\frac{KQ}{r} )*(\frac{r+8.1}{KQ} )\\\\3 = \frac{r+8.1}{r}  \\\\3r = r + 8.1\\\\2r = 8.1\\\\r = \frac{8.1}{2} \\\\r = 4.05 \ m

Therefore, the radius of the sphere is 4.05 m

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

e. all of these

Explanation:

The fatigue strength is improved by then high alloy steels , high yield steels , high hardened steel , high ultimate steel .

Due to the formation of the improved materials in alloy steels will increase the fatigue strength . Similarly for a high yield steels and hardened steels these cycles to failure will improve .

Wire sizes are often reported using the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system in which smaller diameter wires are said to be of highe
NISA [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

24 - gauge wire , diameter = .51 mm .

Resistivity of copper ρ = 1.72 x 10⁻⁸ ohm-m

R = ρ l / s

1.72x 10⁻⁸ / [3.14 x( .51/2)² x 10⁻⁶ ]

= 8.42 x 10⁻² ohm

= .084 ohm

B )  Current required through this wire

= 12 / .084 A

= 142.85 A

C )

Let required length be l

resistance = .084 l

2 = 12 / .084 l

l = 12 / (2 x .084)

= 71.42 m
