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.

An electron is released form rest in a region of space where a uniform electric field is present. Joanna claims that its kinetic
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Neither.

Explanation:

When an electron is released from rest, in an uniform electric field, it will accelerate moving in a direction opposite to the field (as the field has the direction that it would take a positive test charge, and the electron carries a negative charge).

It will move towards a point  with a higher potential, so its kinetic energy will increase, while its potential energy will decrease:

⇒ ΔK + ΔU = 0 ⇒ ΔK = -ΔU = - (-e*ΔV)

As ΔV>0, we conclude that the electric potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases in the same proportion, in order to energy be conserved, in absence of non-conservative forces.

For each of the following, describe the relationship as directly or inversely proportional:
Maksim231197 [3]
The relationships can best be described as follows:
As frequency increases, wavelength decreases. <span>The greater the </span>energy<span>, the larger the frequency </span>and<span> the shorter (smaller) the </span>wavelength<span>. </span>

<span>a) wavelength vs. frequency = inversely proportional
b) wavelength vs. energy = inversely proportional
c) frequency vs. energy = directly proportional

Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.</span>

What are two examples of goods and two examples of services
julsineya [31]

The goods and the services make up the basis of every economy. The goods can simply be defined as merchandise or possessions. The services can be defined as the actions through which help is provided, or work is done for someone else. Example of goods are the food and furniture, with the food being crucial for the survival of the people, while the furniture is an essential part of every home and its practicality and decor. Examples of services are teaching and car repairing. The teaching is crucial for the development of the societies, as through it the people get education, while the repairing of cars is very important as lot of people have them, can not afford to buy new ones all the time, and they need for their daily movement over longer distances.
