A negative oil droplet is held motionless in a millikan oil drop experiment. What happens if the switch is opened?

1 answer:

0 0

In Millikan oil drop experiment, when the switch is opened and by altering supply the charge of electron is determined.

Explanation:

Millikan's oil drop experiment is held to determine the terminal velocity and charge of the oil drop.

Firstly without any supply of voltage when an oil drop is sprinkled and these droplets gather electrons together and gives negative charge as they pass through air.

By applying and altering voltage applied on the plates, drop can be suspended in air. Millikan observed one drop after another, varying the voltage and noting the effect. After many repetitions he concluded that charge could assume only certain fixed values.

After conducting many times he concluded 1.602176487 ×10−19 C as the charge of an electron.

A flat coil of wire consisting of 20 turns, each with an area of 50 cm2, is positioned perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic fie

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

i = 0.5 A

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic flux is given as

$\phi = NBA$

here we know that

N = number of turns

B = magnetic field

A = area of the loop

now we know that rate of change in magnetic flux will induce EMF in the coil

so we have

$EMF = NA\frac{dB}{dt}$

now plug in all values to find induced EMF

$EMF = (20)(50 \times 10^{-4})(\frac{6 - 2}{2})$

$EMF = 0.2 volts$

now by ohm's law we have

$current = \frac{EMF}{Resistance}$

$i = \frac{0.2}{0.40} = 0.5 A$

What happens is a series circuit when you increase the number of bulbs?

Volgvan

The bulbs will produce lesser light than their capacity, In short they will be dimmer because the the energy will get divided in the number of bulbs.

What current flows through a 2.54cm diameter rod of pure silicon that is 20cm long when 1000V is applied?

vfiekz [6]

Answer: $0.0039\ A$

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the rod $d=2.54\ cm$

length of rod is $l=20\ cm$

Resistivity of silicon is $\rho=6.4\times 10^2\ \Omega-m$

cross-section of the rod $A$

$\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{\pi d^2}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=\dfrac{3.142\times 2.54^2\times 10^{-4}}{4}\\\\\Rightarrow A=5.067\times 10^{-4}\ m^2$

Resistance of rod is R

$\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}$

$\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{640\times 0.20}{5.067\times 10^{-4}}\\\\\Rightarrow R=25.26\times 10^4\ \Omega$

Current is given by

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V}{R}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{1000}{25.26\times 10^4}\\\\\Rightarrow I=0.0039\ A$

A 50-kg copper block initially at 140Â°c is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 l of water at 10Â°c. Determine the f

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

$T_f=24.71$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass of block $m=50$

Temperature of block $T_b =140 \textdegree C$

Volume of water $V= 90L$

Temperature of water $T_w=10 \textdegree C$

Density of water $\rho=1000kg/m^3$

Specific heat of water $C_w=4.18KJ/kg-k$

Specific heat of copper $C_p=0.96KJ/kg-k$

Generally the equation for equilibrium stage is mathematically given by

$mC_p(T_b-T_f)=\rho*VV*c(T_f-T_w)$

$50*0.96(140-T_f)=1000*90*10^-3*c_w(T_f-10)$

$48(140-T_f)=376.2(T_f-10)$

$140-T_f=7.8375(T_f-10)$

$140-T_f=7.8375T_f-78.375$

$-8.8375T_f=-218.375$

$T_f=\frac{-218.375}{-8.8375}$

$T_f=24.71$
