Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

A battery with an internal resistance ofrand an emf of 10.00 V is connected to a loadresistorR=r. As the battery ages, the inter

Answer:

The current is reduced to half of its original value.

Explanation:

Assuming we can apply Ohm's Law to the circuit, as the internal resistance and the load resistor are in series, we can find the current I₁ as follows:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} }$

where Rint = r and RL = r
Replacing these values in I₁, we have:

$I_{1} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{2*r} (1)$

When the battery ages, if the internal resistance triples, the new current can be found using Ohm's Law again:

$I_{2} = \frac{V}{R_{int} +r_{L} } = \frac{V}{(3*r) +r} = \frac{V}{4*r} (2)$

We can find the relationship between I₂, and I₁, dividing both sides, as follows:

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} } = \frac{V}{4*r} *\frac{2*r}{V} = \frac{1}{2}$

The current when the internal resistance triples, is half of the original value, when the internal resistance was r, equal to the resistance of the load.

A current of 0.2 A flows through a conductor for 5minutes. How much charge would have passed through the conductor?

Montano1993 [528]

As we know,

$electric \: \: current = \dfrac{charge}{time}$

so, let's solve for charge (q) :

time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds.

$0.2 = \dfrac{q}{300}$

$q = 300 \times 0.2$

$q = 60$

hence, the charge = 60 coulombs (C)

The resistance, R, of a wire varies directly as its length and inversely as the square of its diameter. If the resistance of a w

lbvjy [14]

R is proportional to the length of the wire:

R ∝ length

R is also proportional to the inverse square of the diameter:

R ∝ 1/diameter²

The resistance of a wire 2700ft long with a diameter of 0.26in is 9850Ω. Now let's change the shape of the wire, adding and subtracting material as we go along, such that the wire is now 2800ft and has a diameter of 0.1in.

Calculate the scale factor due to the changed length:

k₁ = 2800/2700 = 1.037

Scale factor due to changed diameter:

k₂ = 1/(0.1/0.26)² = 6.76

Multiply the original resistance by these factors to get the new resistance:

R = R₀k₁k₂

R₀ = 9850Ω, k₁ = 1.037, k₂ = 6.76

R = 9850(1.037)(6.76)

R = 69049.682Ω

Round to the nearest hundredth:

R = 69049.68Ω
