Yes they are equivalent because 7x5=35 and 8x x 5=48x
Answer:
- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only
- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward
There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:
- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.
- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time
:
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
the charge is
One electron has a charge of
, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
electrons
Polar regions do not receive direct sunlight during the winter months due to the tilt in the Earth's<span> axis. Hence, polar regions can get very cold. Antarctica is the </span>coldest place on Earth. <span>The </span>coldest places on Earth<span> tend to be located </span>near the poles<span>. Hope this answers the question.</span>
