If the cross-sectional area of a wire is decreased while all other factors remain the same, how will the resistance change?

Physics
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A. It will increase

Explanation:

Area of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the wire,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross-sectional area.

If A decreases, while ρ and L stay the same, then R will increase.

Explain the relationship between force, mass and acceleration in Newton's second law
Nikitich [7]

Newton's  second law of motion describes what happens to a body when an external  force is applied to it.

Newton's second law of motion states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration. In mathematical form this is written as

F = ma

Where F is force , m is mass and a is acceleration. The math or logic  behind this is that if  you double the force, you double the acceleration, but if you double the mass, you cut the acceleration in half.

Are there conditions under which the incident light ray undergoes reflection but not transmission at the boundary? if so, then w
Luden [163]

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

How does the entropy of steam compare to the entropy of ice?
Dmitriy789 [7]

The answer is; The entropy of steam is larger than because it is more disordered than ice

Entropy is synonymous to the degree of disorder or randomness of molecules in a system. The molecules of steam are far apart from each other and move randomly in the system colliding with each other. Those of ice has less kinetic energy, vibrate more or less in a fixed position in the structiure, and are arranged in a orderd fashion
