<u>Given data:</u>

Voltage (V) = 120 V,

Power    (P) = 50.4 Watts,

current flowing  (I) = ?

Power is nothing but the rate of doing work. Hence W/t represents electric Power (P).

Electric Power (P) = V.I  Watts

This equation can be used to calculate the power consumption by any electrical device that is connected in a circuit.

In the given question, we need to determine the Current flowing through the circuit(bulb).

  From the equation,

                       P = V.I  Watts

                50.4  = 120 × I

                       I = 50.4/120

                      I = 0.42 Amp

<em>Current flowing through the circuit is 0.42 Amperes.   </em>

Xelga [282]

Answer:

charge      Qint = 7.17 10⁻⁴ C

Explanation:

For this problem we must use Gauss's law

       F = ∫ E. dA = Qint / εₙ

let's form a Gaussian surface that is parallel to the surface, for example, a Cube. As the field is vertical and perpendicular to the surface, the field lines and the area vector are parallel whereby the scalar product is reduced to an ordinary product.

    Φ = E A = Qint / ε₀

   

    A = 1 km² (1000 m / 1km)² = 1 10⁶ m²

We can calculate the charge

    Qint = E A ε₀

    Qint = 81 1 10⁶ 8.85 10⁻¹²

    Qint = 7.17 10⁻⁴ C

Atoms are split at power plant to create electricity*
Rudiy27

Answer:

B. Nuclear to Electrical

Explanation:

Atoms are split at power plants to create electricity. The energy conversion in this process is from nuclear to electrical energy.

  • When atoms are split, nuclear energy is released.
  • Some part of the mass of the atom is converted to energy.
  • The nuclear energy released is expressed as heat energy.
  • This energy is used to heat water in boilers when produces steam that are used to drive the movement of turbines.
  • This in turn generates electricity.

lisov135 [29]

Complete option to the question:

A. The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.

B. Convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust.

C. Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable.

D. The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.

Answer: The correct option is A (The asthenosphere is broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.)

Explanation:

Among the components that makes up the earth crust are the lithosphere and the asthenosphere.

The LITHOSPHERE is the outer layer of the earth structure which consists of the upper part of the mantle and the crust.

The ASTHENOSPHERE is a part of the upper mantle just below the lithosphere that is involved in plate tectonic movement and isostatic adjustments. It is denser and weaker layer of the upper mantle which permits the movement of tectonic plates in the lithosphere.

The asthenosphere is the repository for parts of the lithosphere that are dragged downward in subduction zones.Heat from deep within Earth is thought to keep the asthenosphere malleable. And the convection currents within the asthenosphere push magma upward to create new crust. But it is not broken up into large continental- and ocean-sized plates.
