By definition, Ampere is a unit of current which is a measure of the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit per unit of time, with an equivalent charge of 1.602 x 10^(-19) Coulomb per electron. To determine the number of electrons passing through the heater, we use the definition of the current. We calculate as follows:
13.5 A = 13.5 C per second
Charge = 13.5 C/s (10 min) ( 60 s / 1 min)
Charge = 8100 C
Number of electrons = 8100 C / 1.602 x 10^(-19) C per electron
Number of electrons = 5.1 x 10^22 electrons
Therefore, there are 5.1 x10^22 electrons that assed through the heater for 10 minutes.
The molecules of a solid vibrate faster so that they start spreading out to become a liquid. This energy makes them vibrate faster so the bonds between molecules can't interact all that well anymore creating more distance. The stronger the bonds between the molecules the higher the energy (temperature) has to be to get them away from each other. Hope I didn't confuse you too much!
The diagram represents a chain reaction that is caused by nuclear fission.
<h3>What is a nuclear fission reaction?</h3>
A nuclear fission reaction is a reaction in which the nucleus of a larger atom is split into two or more smaller nucleus of atoms.
Nuclear fission can proceed in the form of a chain reaction in which the products of the first fission reaction are used to initiate further fission reactions.
Therefore, the diagram represents a chain reaction that is caused by nuclear fission.
