As more resistors are added in series across a constant voltage source, the power supplied by the source: A) does not change. B)
1 answer:
As series resistors are added, the resistance is added directly so the total resistance will be equal to
Since the power is determined as
We have there that
The power is inversely proportional to the increase in resistance, so it will tend to decrease as more resistors are added in series.

Answer:
A. The work done during the process is W = 0
B. The value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83
Explanation:
Given Data
Initial pressure = 100 k pa
Initial temperature = 25 degree Celsius = 298 Kelvin
Final pressure = 300 k pa
Vessel is rigid so change in volume of the gas is zero. so that initial volume is equal to final volume.
⇒ =
------------- (1)
Since volume of the gas is constant so pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas.
⇒ P ∝ T
⇒ =
⇒ Put all the values in the above formula we get the final temperature
⇒ =
× 298
⇒ = 894 Kelvin
(A). Work done during the process is given by W = P × ()
From equation (1), =
so work done W = P × 0 = 0
⇒ W = 0
Therefore the work done during the process is zero.
Heat transfer during the process is given by the formula Q = m (
-
)
Where m = mass of the gas = 1 kg
= specific heat at constant volume of nitrogen = 0.743
Thus the heat transfer Q = 1 × 0.743 × ( 894- 298 )
⇒ Q = 442.83
Therefore the value of heat transfer during the process Q = 442.83
