Answer:

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

Explanation:

r_1 = 14 km

r_2 = 49 km

Intensity of a wave is inversely proportional to distance

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

So,

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{49^2}{14^2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

The ratio of the intensities is \dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=12.25

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Yes the body will receive a dangerous shock in both cases.

Explanation:

Different parts of the body has different resistance. skin has the high resistance as compared to other organs of the body.

Dry skin has high resistance than wet skin this is because water is relatively good conductor of electricity, it adds parallel path to the current flow and hence reduces skin resistance.

Dry hands body has approximately 500 kΩ resistance and if 120 V electricity supply current received will be:

I = V/R= 120/ 500*10^3

I= 0.24 mA

Even the current seems is much lower than the safe zone but this is the case in case of DC voltage in case of AC voltage the body will receive a shock this is because the skin pass more current when the voltage is changing i.e. AC.

Similarly for wet hands body resistance is 1 kΩ. so the current through the body seems to be:

I = 120 / 1000

I = 12 mA

The current is higher than safe zone so the body will receive a dangerous shock.

An office building has a 24-volt branch circuit installed for landscape lighting around the front of the building. The circuit w
Arturiano [62]

The circuit was installed in UF cable which requires a minimum burial depth of 6 inches for this circuit.

<h3>UF cable</h3>

UF cable is used as an underground feeder cable to distribute power from an existing building to outdoor equipment. UF cable can also be used as direct burial cable.

For the 24-volt branch circuit installed, the minimum burial depth will be 6 inches.

Thus, the circuit was installed in UF cable which requires a minimum burial depth of 6 inches for this circuit.

A 22-turn circular coil of radius 3.00 cm and resistance 1.00 Ω is placed in a magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plan
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

23.5 mV

Explanation:

number of turn coil  'N' =22

radius 'r' =3.00 cm=> 0.03m

resistance = 1.00 Ω

B= 0.0100t + 0.0400t²

Time 't'= 4.60s

Note that Area'A' = πr²

The magnitude of induced EMF is given by,

lƩl =ΔφB/Δt = N (dB/dt)A

    =N[d/dt (0.0100t + 0.0400 t²)A        

    =22(0.0100 + 0.0800(4.60))[π(0.03)²]

     =0.0235

     =23.5 mV

Thus, the induced emf in the coil at t = 4.60 s is 23.5 mV
