Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.

A car travels for 5.5 h at an average speed<br> of 75 km/h. How far did it travel?<br> T TE
ANEK [815]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 412.5 \ kilometers }}

Explanation:

Distance is the product of speed and time.

d=s*t

The speed of the car is 75 kilometers per hour. It traveled for 5.5 hours.

s= 75 \ km/hr \\t= 5.5 \ hr

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= 75 \ km/hr * 5.5 \ hr

Multiply. Note that the hours will cancel each other out.

d= 75 km * 5.5 \\d= 412.5 \ km

The car travelled <u>412.5 kilometers.</u>

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA
