Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer:

The answer is C) amperemeter

Explanation:

An ammeter is made up of a galvanometer which is constructed with an indicator needle, a spring, a coil, and 2 permanent magnets and its operation is based on magnetism. The needle is attached by a spiral spring to the axis of a rectangular coil, which is suspended due to the magnetic field of the magnets.

Because the coil is controlled by the magnetic poles of the magnets when a current passes over it generates its own magnetic field which makes it turn depending on the meaning and force of this electrical intensity.

A red laser from a physics lab is marked as producing 632.8 nm light. When light from this laser falls on two closely spaced sli
goblinko [34]

Given Information:  

Wavelength of the red laser = λr = 632.8 nm

Distance between bright fringes due to red laser = yr = 5 mm

Distance between bright fringes due to laser pointer = yp = 5.14 mm

Required Information:  

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Answer:

Wavelength of the laser pointer = λp = ?

Explanation:

The wavelength of the monochromatic light can be found using young's double slits formula,

y = Dλ/d  

y/λ = D/d

Where

λ is the wavelength

y is the distance between bright fringes.

d is the double slit separation distance

D is the distance from the slits to the screen

For the red laser,

yr/λr = D/d

For the laser pointer,

yp/λp = D/d

Equating both equations yields,

yr/λr = yp/λp

Re-arrange for λp

λp = yp*λr/yr

λp =  (5*632.8)/5.14

λp = 615.56 nm

Therefore, the wavelength of the small laser pointer is 615.56 nm.

One end of a metal rod is in contact with a thermal reservoir at 745. K, and the other end is in contact with a thermal reservoi
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

a)S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)S_2=71.18\ J/K

c) 0 J/K

d)S= 61.53 J/K

Explanation:

Given that

T₁ = 745 K

T₂ = 101 K

Q= 7190 J

a)

The entropy change of reservoir 745 K

S_1=-\dfrac{7190}{745}\ J/K

Negative sign because heat is leaving.

S_1=-9.65}\ J/K

b)

The entropy change of reservoir 101 K

S_2=\dfrac{7190}{101}\ J/K

S_2=71.18\ J/K

c)

The entropy change of the rod will be zero.

d)

The entropy change of the system

S= S₁ + S₂

S = 71.18 - 9.65 J/K

S= 61.53 J/K

When point charges q = +8.4 uC and q2 = +5.6 uC are brought near each other, each experiences a repulsive force of magnitude 0.6
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

it is separated by 80 cm distance

Explanation:

As per Coulombs law we know that force between two point charges is given by

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1 = +8.4\mu C

q_2 = +5.6 \mu C

force between two charges is given as

F = 0.66 N

now we have

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

0.66 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(8.4 \mu C)(5.6 \mu C)}{r^2}

r = 0.8 m

so it is separated by 80 cm distance
