The heater element of a particular 120-V toaster is a 8.9-m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.86 mm. The resistivity

of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 Ω ∙ m. If the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 V, how much power does it draw

Answer:

Power, P = 722.96 watts

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage, V = 120 V

Length of nichrome wire, l = 8.9 m

Diameter of wire, d = 0.86 mm

Radius of wire, r = 0.43 mm = 0.00043 m

Resistivity of wire, \rho=1.3\times 10^{-6}\ \Omega-m

We need to find the power drawn by this heater. Power is given by :

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

And, R=\rho\dfrac{l}{A}

P=\dfrac{V^2\times A}{\rho\times l}

P=\dfrac{120^2\times \pi (0.00043)^2}{1.3\times 10^{-6}\times 8.9}

P = 722.96 watts

So, the power drawn by this heater element is 722.96 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

A laser beam is incident on two slits with a separation of 0.230 mm, and a screen is placed 4.75 m from the slits. If the bright
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

7.55\times 10^{-7} m

Explanation:

We are given that

d=0.23 mm=0.23\times 10^{-3} m

1mm=10^{-3} m

Screen is placed  from the slits at distance ,L=4.75 m

The bright interference fringes on the screen are separated  by 1.56 cm.

\Delta y=1.56 cm=1.56\times 10^{-2} m

1 m=100 cm

We have to find the wavelength of laser light.

We know that

\Delta y=\frac{\lambda L}{d}

Substitute the values

1.56\times 10^{-2}=\frac{\lambda\times 4.75}{0.23\times 10^{-3}}

\lambda=\frac{1.56\times 10^{-2}\times 0.23\times 10^{-3}}{4.75}

\lambda=7.55\times 10^{-7} m
