The strength of the electric and magnetic fields there is no physical "distance" of oscillation here. nothing is actually moving up and down if you draw light as a sinusoidal wave, the up and down motion is the strength of the EM fields cheers

An RL series circuit is connected to an ac generator with a maximum emf of 20 V. If the maximum potential difference across the
Rama09 [41]

If the maximum emf of the ac generator is 20 V and the maximum potential difference across the resistor is 16 V Then the maximum potential difference across the inductor is 4 V.

Calculation:

Step-1:

It is given that the RL circuit is connected to a 20 V ac generator. The maximum potential difference across the resistor is 16 V. It is required to find the maximum potential drop across the inductor.

Step-2:

The maximum emf of the generator is equal to the sum of the maximum potential difference across the resistor and the maximum potential difference across the inductor.

Therefore,

The maximum potential difference across the inductor + Maximum maximum potential difference across the resistor = Maximum emf of the generator

Thus,

Maximum maximum potential difference across the inductor + 16 V = 20 V

Therefore,

Maximum maximum potential difference across the inductor = 20 V - 16 V = 4 V

Thermal Conductors don't have to be hot to transfer heat, explain a situation when a ice cube would still transfer heat to anoth
barxatty [35]
An ice cube would transfer heat to another object whose temperature
is lower than zero°C (32°F).

A block of "dry ice" is sitting there at a temperature of -78°C (-109°F).
An ice cube helps to melt dry ice nice and fast.

If you could find a block of solid nitrogen, its temperature would be
63K (-210°C, -346°F).  An ice cube would transfer heat to that baby
so fast that it would instantly boil.

2.5 g of helium at an initial temperature of 300 K interacts thermally with 9.0 g of oxygen at an initial temperature of 620 K .
muminat

Answer:

Explanation:

2.5 g of He = 2.5 / 4  mole

= .625 moles

9 g of oxygen = 9/32

= .28 mole of oxygen

C_p of He = 3/2 R

C_p of O₂ = 5/2 R

A ) Initial thermal energy of He = 3/2 n R T

= 1.5 x .625 x 8.32 x 300

= 2340 J

Initial thermal energy of O₂ = 5/2 n R T

= 2.5 x .28 x 8.32 x 620

= 3610.88 J

B ) If T be the equilibrium temperature after mixing

gain of heat by helium

= n C_p Δ T

= .625 x 3/2 R x ( T - 300 )

Loss of heat by oxygen

n C_p Δ T

= .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

Loss of heat = gain of heat

.625 x 3/2 R x ( T - 300 ) = .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

1.875 T- 562.5 = 868- 1.4 T

3.275 T = 1430,5

T = 436.8 K

Thermal energy of He

= 1.5 x .625 x 8.32 x 436.8

= 3407 J

thermal energy of O₂

= 2.5 x .28  x 8.32 x 436.8

= 2543.92 J

C )

Heat energy transferred

=  .28 x 5/2 R x ( 620 - T )

=  .28 x 5/2 x  8.32 x ( 620 - 436.8 )

1066.95 J

Heat will flow from O₂ to He

Final temperature is 436.8 K
