AC (Alternating Current) generator is a device that produces an electromotive force.This generator produces alternating current. Alternating current  is electric current that changes its direction many times a second, at regular intervals. This is the type of current with which customers are supplied in the energy distribution network.

Explanation :

An AC generator consists of the alternating voltage source, magnet, slip rings, and brushes. AC current changes the direction of current periodically.

AC generator is used to produce emf. On the application of alternating current, the magnetic flux that is linked with the coil changes and hence the coil rotates continuously.

So, the correct statement that describes an AC generator is (d) " It produces the current that continuously reverses direction ".

What happened as the mass of the sun increased during formation of the solor system
sveta [45]

Answer:

Formation. Our solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago from a dense cloud of interstellar gas and dust. ... When this dust cloud collapsed, it formed a solar nebula—a spinning, swirling disk of material. At the center, gravity pulled more and more material in.

Early one February morning you go outside to build a snow man. You make a 3.2kg snowball and lift it to a height of 1.2m, then c
Verdich [7]

First the amount of work done in lifting up the snow ball to a height of 1.2m is equal to the potential energy of the ball after the lift.

Therefore mass× gravitational pull×height will give us the work done

=3.2kg ×9.8N/kg×1.2m

=37.632J

then, the work done over the 25m distance if found by the following formula: work done=force×distance

=1.0N×25m

=25J

On reaching the headless snowman you have to lift the ball a further 1.1m to place it as the head 2.3m high.

therefore this will be a change in potential energy which is equal to work done in lifting the ball the additional 1.1m

=m×g×h

=3.2kg×9.8N/kg×1.1m

=34.496J

To get the total we add the amount of work done in the various instances.

Which of these statements is correct about wood and common salt?
morpeh [17]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Minerals are inorganic substances which have certain characteristic shape or structure along with homogeneous chemical composition.

It is not necessary that a mineral should be formed under the ground.

Substances which have carbon atoms in their structure are called organic compounds.  The structure of wood has carbon atoms attached thus, wood is an organic compound.

Therefore, we can conclude that common salt is a mineral because it has a definite crystal structure but wood is not a mineral because it is organic.

consider two stars, star a and star b. star a has a temperature of 4900 k , and star b has a temperature of 9900 k . how many ti
ValentinkaMS [17]

The Energy flux from Star B is 16 times of the energy flux from Star A.

We have Two stars - A and B with 4900 k and 9900 k surface temperatures.

We have to determine how many times larger is the energy flux from Star B compared to the energy flux from Star A.

<h3>State Stephen's Law?</h3>

Stephens law states that if E is the energy radiated away from the star in the form of electromagnetic radiation, T is the surface temperature of the star, and σ is a constant known as the Stephan-Boltzmann constant then-

$\frac{Energy}{Area} = \sigma\times T^{4}

Now -

Energy emitted per unit surface area of Star is called Energy flux. Let us denote it by E. Then -

$E= \sigma\times T^{4}

Now -

For Star A →

T_{A} = 4900 K

For Star B →

T_{B} = 9900 K

Therefore -

$\frac{T_{B} }{T_{A} } =\frac{9900}{4900}

\frac{T_{B} }{T_{A} }= 2.02 = 2 (Approx.)

Now -

Assume that the energy flux of Star A is E(A) and that of Star B is E(B). Then -

$\frac{E(B)}{E(A)} = \frac{\sigma\times T(B)^{4} }{\sigma \times T(A)^{2} }

E(B) = E(A) x (\frac{T(B)}{T(A)} )^{4}

E(B) = E(A) x 2^{4}

E(B) = 16 E(A)

Hence, the Energy flux from Star B is 16 times of the energy flux from Star A.
