Explanation:

Power of electric kettle, P = 1 kW

Voltage, V = 220 V

(a) Electric power is given by the formula as follows :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

R is resistance

$R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{10^3}\\\\R=48.4\ \Omega$

(b) When connected to a 220 V supply, it takes 3 minutes for the water in the kettle to reach boiling point.

Energy supplied is given by :

$E=P\times t$

P is power, $P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

$E=\dfrac{V^2}{R}t\\\\E=\dfrac{(220)^2}{48.4}\times 180\\\\E=180000\ J\\\\E=180\ kJ$

Mandarinka [93]

Regular electrical needs such as heat, a/c, appliances, anything that would be used regularly with electricity. Most electrical companies use gas, coal, and other nonrenewable resources to power houses. Solar power is just a renewable way of gathering power from the sun and converting it to electricity.

after a circuit has been turned off, so it is important to make sure they are discharged before you touch them. Suppose a 120 mF

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The time is $110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec$

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitor = 120 μF

Voltage = 150 V

Resistance = 1.8 kΩ

Current = 50 mA

We need to calculate the discharge current

Using formula of discharge current

$i_{0}=\dfrac{V_{0}}{R}$

Put the value into the formula

$i_{0}=\dfrac{150}{1.8\times10^{3}}$

$i_{0}=83.3\times10^{-3}\ A$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{V_{0}}{R}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}$

Put the value into the formula

$50=\dfrac{150}{1.8\times10^{3}}e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}$

$\dfrac{50}{83.3}=e^{\frac{-t}{RC}}$

$\dfrac{-t}{RC}=ln(0.600)$

$t=0.51\times1.8\times10^{3}\times120\times10^{-6}$

$t=110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec$

Hence, The time is $110.16\times10^{-3}\ sec$

While researching scuba diving, Pablo reads how hot a tank should get while being filled with air. Which law best explains why t

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

Gay-Lussac’s law, because as the pressure increases, the temperature increases

Explanation:

First of all, we can notice that the volume of the tank is fixed: this means that the volume of the air inside is also fixed.

This means that in this situation we can apply Gay-Lussac's law, which states that:

"for a gas kept at constant volume, the pressure of the gas is proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas".

Mathematically:

$p\propto T$

where p is the pressure in Pascal and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

In this case, the tank is filled with air: this means that the pressure of the gas inside the tank increases. And therefore, according to Gay-Lussac's law, the temperature will increase proportionally, and this explains why the tank gets hot.
