Electric fish generate current with biological cells called electroplaques, which are physiological emf devices. The electroplaq

ues in the South American eel are arranged in 140 rows, each row stretching horizontally along the body and each containing 5000 electroplaques. Each electroplaque has an emf of 0.15 V and an internal resistance of 0.25 Ω .If the water surrounding the fish has a resistance of 800Ω .How much current can the eel produce in water from near its head to near its tail?

Answer:

current in water = 0.924 A

Explanation:

Let the current in each row be i.

Thus, current in water is contributed by each row and total current in water becomes 140i.

We are given;

emf of each electroplaque = 0.15 V

Number of electroplaques = 5000

internal resistance = 0.25 Ω

resistance = 800Ω

Applying Kirchoff's Voltage Law to row and water, we have;

5000E − (5000r)i − 800(140i) = 0

Rearranging;

5000E = (5000r)i + 800(140i)

Plugging in the relevant values;

5000 x 0.15 = i((5000 x 0.25) + 112,000)

750 = 113,250i

i = 750/113,250

i = 0.0066 A

Recall earlier, the current in water is 140i.

Thus, current in water = 140 x 0.0066

= 0.924

1.A virtual image is formed 20.5 cm from a concave mirror having a radius of curvature of 31.5 cm.
Mashutka [201]

The position of the object is = -68cm

The magnification of the mirror= 0.3

<h3>Calculation of object distance</h3>

The image distance = 20.5cm

The focal length= R/2 = 31.5/2= 15.75

The object distance= ?

Using the lens formula,1/f = 1/v-1/u

1/u = 1/v- 1/f

1/u = 1/20.5 - 1/15.75

1/u = 0.0489- 0.0635

1/u = -0.0146

u = -68cm

The magnification of the mirror is image size/object size

= 20.5cm/-68cm

= 0.3

Describe how wavelength, frequency, and energy are related.
irina1246 [14]
The greater the energy, the larger the frequency and the shorter (smaller) the wavelength. Given the relationship between wavelength and frequency — the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength — it follows that short wavelengths are more energetic than long wavelengths.

Does melting change substances into other substances?
spayn [35]

Answer:

Yes, I think

Explanation:

Melting is a process that causes a substance to change from a solid to a liquid. Melting occurs when the molecules of a solid speed up enough that the motion overcomes the attractions so that the molecules can move past each other as a liquid.

If a rod attached to the approaching charge if the rod consists of "stiff" spring-like bonds for which atoms undergo small oscil
Hoochie [10]

Answer: hello options related to your question is missing attached below is the missing part of your question

answer: No charge of the length of the bonds expected because the rod did not touch the charge source ( option A )

Explanation:

When the Charge is first, Furthest away and second  and closest to the source charge. <em>The spring like bonds can be said to have No charge of the length  of the bonds expected because the rod did not touch the charge source </em><em>when Furthest away the bond with charge will be less effective </em>
