R = 0.407Ω.

The resistance  R of a particular conductor is related to the resistivity ρ of the material by  the equation R = ρL/A, where ρ is the material resistivity, L is the length of the material and A is the cross-sectional area of ​​the material.

To calculate the resistance R of a wire made of a material with resistivity of 3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m, the length of the wire is 2.5m and its diameter is 0.50mm.

We have to use the equation R = ρL/A but first we have to calculate the cross-sectional area of the wire which is a circle. So, the area of a circle is given by A = πr², with r = d/2. The cross-sectional area of the wire is A = πd²/4.  Then:

R =[(3.2x10⁻⁸Ω.m)(2.5m)]/[π(0.5x10⁻³m)²/4]

R = 8x10⁻⁸Ω.m²/1.96x10⁻⁷m²

R = 0.407Ω

The charge stored in a parallel plate capacitor is proportional to the _____(potential, current) and across _____ (resistance, c
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The charge stored in a parallel plate capacitor is proportional to the potential, and capacitance across the plates.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor is given by:

C=\frac{Q}{V}

where

Q is the charge stored

V is the potential difference across the capacitor

Re-arranging the formula, we get

Q=CV

From this expression, we see that the charge stored (Q) is proportional to both the potential (V) and the capacitance (C).

Vladimir [108]
Most likely solid. Molecules move in a chaotic matter, which a Scottish botanist found out in the 19th century. In gases, this chaotic movement is the most “dramatic” and they move around freely; in liquids it’s a bit less noticeable, and in solids the particles oscillate around locked positions. Movement in plasma is similar to gas.

There has long been an interest in using the vast quantities of thermal energy in the oceans to run heat engines. A heat engine
elena55 [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Carnot engine , temperature difference is used to get work  output .

The maximum efficiency of a Carnot engine

= (T₁ - T₂) / T₁

where T₁ is temperature of hot reservoir , and T₂ is temperature of cold reservoir

= efficiency = ( 35 - 4 ) / ( 273 + 35 )

= 31 / 308

in percentage terms

efficiency = (31 / 308) x 100

= 10.06  % .
