A transformer connected to a 120-V (rms) ac line is to supply 13,000 V (rms) for a neon sign. To reduce shock hazard, a fuse is

to be inserted in the primary circuit; the fuse is to blow when the rms current in the secondary circuit exceeds 8.50 mA. What current rating should the fuse in the primary circuit have?

Answer:

The current is 0.921 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Voltage = 120 V

Current = 13000

Current exceeds = 8.50 mA

We need to calculate the current rating

Using relation of current and voltage

\dfrac{I_{p}}{I_{s}}=\dfrac{V_{s}}{V_{p}}

I_{s}=\dfrac{I_{p}\timesV_{p}}{V_{s}}.....(I)

Where, I_{s} = current in primary circuit

I_{s} = current in secondary circuit

V_{s} = voltage in primary circuit

V_{s} = voltage in primary circuit

Put the value into the formula

I_{s}=\dfrac{13000\times8.50\times10^{-3}}{120}

I_{s}=0.921\ A

Hence, The current is 0.921 A.

What current flows through a 2.56-cm-diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20.0 cm long, when 1.00 ✕ 103 V is applied to it? (Suc
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Current, I = 0.0011 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of rod, d = 2.56 cm

Radius of rod, r = 1.28 cm = 0.0128 m

The resistivity of the pure silicon, \rho=2300\ \Omega-m

Length of rod, l = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Voltage, V=1\times 10^3\ V

The resistivity of the rod is given by :

R=\rho\dfrac{L}{A}

R=2300\ \Omega-m\dfrac{0.2\ m}{\pi (0.0128\ m)^2}

R = 893692.30 ohms

Current flowing in the rod is calculated using Ohm's law as :

V = I R

I=\dfrac{V}{R}

I=\dfrac{10^3\ V}{893692.30\ \Omega}

I = 0.0011 A

So, the current flowing in the rod is 0.0011 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

All of the planets and their satellites orbit the Sun in the same direction, and all their orbits lie near the same plane. True
MissTica

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction when seen from its north pole. Since, the planets revolve around the Sun because of its gravity, the revolution of all the planets and their moons as seen from the north of the Sun is in CCW direction.

In fact most of the solar system bodies rotate in the same direction that is CCW. Some major exceptions to this are Venus and Uranus.

Almost all the planets and moons were made from the planetary disk around the Sun. Thus, they lie nearly in the same plane.

If there is no oxygen in outer space, and, at the same time, oxygen must be present for fire, where does the sun come from?​
victus00 [196]

The sun is a huge ball of gas held together by gravity.

It does not burn the way wood does, due to oxygen, but it gets energy by a process called nuclear fusion, where Hydrogen is converted to Helium.

The sun will cease to "burn" when it runs out of Hydrogen, but that has a long way to go.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
