The filament of a certain lamp has a resistance that increases linearly with temperature. When a constant voltage is switched on

, the initial current decreases until the filament reaches its steady-state temperature. The temperature coefficient of resistivity of the filament is 43 times 10^-3 K^-1. The final current through the filament is one- eighth the initial current. What is the change in temperature of the filament?
a.30100 K
b.378 K
c.1627 K
d.814 K
e.1162 K

Answer:

162.8 K

Explanation:

initial current = io

final current, i = io/8

Let the potential difference is V.

coefficient of resistivity, α = 43 x 10^-3 /K

Let the resistance is R and the final resistance is Ro.

The resistance varies with temperature

R = Ro ( 1 + α ΔT)

V/i = V/io (1 + α ΔT )

8 = 1 + 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

7 = 43 x 10^-3 x ΔT

ΔT = 162.8 K

Thus, the rise in temperature is 162.8 K.

Which of these chemical equations demonstrates the law of conservation of mass as it applies to the combustion of ethane? A. 2 C
WINSTONCH [101]

A. 2 C₂ H₆ + 7 O₂ → 4 C O₂ + 6 H₂ O


according to law of conservation of mass , the total mass of reactants side must be same as the total mass of product side. so we need to check if each atom in the equation has same number on both side of the equation or not.

in this equation , we have

4 atoms of carbon left and 4 atoms of carbon on right

12 atoms of hydrogen on left and 12 atoms of hydrogen on right

14 atoms of oxygen on left and 14 atoms of oxygen on right

If the photon scatters in the backward direction, what is the magnitude of the linear momentum of the electron just after the co
Strike441 [17]
Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.

Which quantity is most closely related to the speed of gas particles
natali 33 [55]
Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecules and energy is related to speed. 

<span>The water in a pot is heated by convection. The water on the bottom will warm up and rise toward the surface and the cooler water will then sink to the bottom where it will be heated. </span>

<span>Oxygen will form ionic bonds with nitrogen. The others will not by themselves. </span>

<span>A high pH is indicative of a basic solution. HCl and H2SO4 are both strong acids and will result in a lower (more acidic) pH. Water is the standard. KOH is a strong base and will increase the pH. </span>

<span>An acidic solid will lower the pH of a solution. pH measures the number of hydrogen ions and a lower pH will mean that there are more H+ ions, but the solid could just have reacted with the OH- to cause the pH to decrease</span>
