Where do Earth’s convection currents occur

1 answer:

6 0

Convection currents occur in the magma drive plate tectonics. Here heat is generated from the radioactive decay of elements in the interior of the Earth, creating magma in the asthenosphere.

The radius of curvature of both sides of a converging lens is 18 cm. One side of the lens is coated withsilver so that the inner

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

n = 1.4

Explanation:

Given,

R1 = 18 cm, R2 = -18 cm

From lens makers formula

1/f = (n - 1)(1/18 + 1/18) = (n-1)/9

f = 9/(n-1)

Power, P = 1/f ( in m) = (n-1)/0.09

Now, this lens is in with conjunction with a concave mirror which then can be thought of as to be in conjunction with another thin lens

Power of concave mirror = P' = 1/f ( in m) = 2/R = 2/0.18 = 1/0.09

Net power of the combination = 2P + P' = 2(n-1)/0.09 + 1/0.09 = 1/0.05

n = 1.4

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of (a) 100 V, (b) 1.0 kV

forsale [732]

Answer:

(a) $\lambda=1.227\ A$

(b) $\lambda=0.388\ A$

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) An electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. The De Broglie wavelength in terms of potential difference is given by :

$\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV} }$

Where

m and e are the mass of and charge on an electron

On solving,

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A$

V = 100 V

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{100} }\ A$

$\lambda=1.227\ A$

(b) V = 1 kV = 1000 V

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A$

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{1000} }\ A$

$\lambda=0.388\ A$

$\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{10^5} }\ A$

$\lambda=0.038\ A$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which type of resistor is commonly used in automotive circuits? a. Fixed value b. Stepped c. Variable d. All of the choices

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:d-All of the above

Explanation:

A resistor is a device used in electrical circuits that offers resistance to current flow.In automotive circuit commonly used resistor are

Fixed value
Stepped
Variable

Fixed value:A fixed value electrical resistance is one whose value is resistance value is fixed and does not change in circuit.

Stepped resistance:Stepped resistor also called as tapped resistors provide two or more set resistor values. In a circuit, the various resistances are attached to different terminals. When the switch is shifted, different resistance values are put in the circuit.

Variable resistance:The variable resistor gives more control over the current flow by increasing the resistance. When the resistance of the variable resistor increases, the amount of current allowed to flow in the circuit decreases.
