A fuse in an electric circuit is a wire that is designed to melt, and thereby open the circuit, if the current exceeds a predete

rmined value. Suppose that the material to be used in a fuse melts when the current density rises to 500 A/cm2. What diameter of cylindrical wire should be used to make a fuse that will limit the current to 0.64 A?

Answer:

The diameter of wire should be 4.04 \times 10^{-4} m

Explanation:

Given:

Current density J = 500 \times 10^{4} \frac{A}{m^{2} }

Current I = 0.64 A

From the formula of current density,

  J = \frac{I}{A}

Where A = area of cylindrical wire = \pi r^{2}

  \pi r^{2} = \frac{I}{J}

  r^{2} = \frac{I}{\pi J }

   r = \sqrt{\frac{0.64}{3.14 \times 500 \times 10^{4} } }

   r = 2.02 \times 10^{-4}m

For finding the diameter of wire,

   d = 2r

   d = 4.04 \times 10^{-4}m

Therefore, the diameter of wire should be 4.04 \times 10^{-4} m

Scilla [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a body, m = 1 kg

Force constant, k = 16 N/m

We need to find the angular frequency and the frequency of oscillation.

(a) The angular frequency of a body is given by :

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}} \\\\=\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{16}{1}} \\\\=4\ rad/s

(b) The frequency of oscillation is given by :

f=\dfrac{\omega}{2\pi}\\\\f=\dfrac{4}{2\pi}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{\pi}\ Hz

Hence, this is the required solution.

meriva
A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (Framework) recommends science education in grades K–12 be built around three major dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields, and core ideas in the major disciplines of natural science.
