A table lamp draws a current of 200 mA when it is connected to a 120-V source. What is the resistance of the table lamp?

Physics
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 600Ω

Explanation:

Voltage of source (V) = 120 Volts

Current drawn by table lamp (I) = 200mA

(Since 1 mA = 1 x 10^-3A

200mA = 200 x 10^-3A)

Resistance of table lamp (R)= ?

Then, apply the formula for ohms law

Voltage = Current x resistance

i.e V = I x R

120V = 200 x 10^-3A x R

R = 120V / 200 x 10^-3A

R = 600Ω (Ω is the symbol for ohms)

Thus, the resistance of the table lamp is 600Ω

An engine draws energy from a hot reservoir with a temperature of 1250 K and exhausts energy into a cold reservoir with a temper
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The power output of this engine is  P =  17.5 W

The  the maximum (Carnot) efficiency is  \eta_c  = 0.7424

The  actual efficiency of this engine is  \eta _a  = 0.46

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The temperature of the hot reservoir is  T_h = 1250 \ K

      The temperature of the cold reservoir  is  T_c  =  322 \ K

     The energy absorbed from the hot reservoir is E_h  = 1.37 *10^{5} \ J

       The energy exhausts into  cold reservoir is  E_c  = 7.4 *10^{4} J

The power output is mathematically represented as

      P  =  \frac{W}{t}

Where t is the time taken which we will assume to be 1 hour =  3600 s  

W is the workdone which is mathematically represented as

      W =  E_h  -E_c

substituting values

       W = 63000 J

So

    P =  \frac{63000}{3600}

    P =  17.5 W

The Carnot efficiency is mathematically represented as

          \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{T_c}{T_h}

         \eta_c  =  1 - \frac{322}{1250}

         \eta_c  = 0.7424

The actual efficiency is mathematically represented as

        \eta _a  =   \frac{W}{E_h}

substituting values

         \eta _a  =  \frac{63000}{1.37*10^{5}}

         \eta _a  = 0.46

A charge q of magnitude 6.4 × 10^-19 coulombs moves from point A to point B in an electric field of 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb.
lana [24]

In this problem we have the electric field intensity E:

E = 6.5 × 10^4 newtons/coulomb

We have the magnitude of the load:

q = 6.4 × 10 ^{-19} coulombs

We also have the distance d that the load moved in a direction parallel to the field 1.2 × 10^{-2} meters.

We know that the electric potential energy (PE) is:

PE = qEd

So:

PE = (6.4 × 10^{-19})(6.5 × 10^4)(1.2 × 10^{-2})

PE = 5.0 x 10^{-16} joules

None of the options shown is correct.

If you peel two strips of transparent tape off the same roll and immediately let them hang near each other, they will repel each
g100num [7]

Answer:

1.

Firstly removing off one strip and it leaves electrons behind, so the strip becomes positively charged.

2. The roll however is not negatively charged because it is "earthed " by the hand holding it, thus excess negatives repel each other away through the hand.

3.Tearing off the next strip and once more it leaves electrons behind, the new strip is also positively charged and will repel the first strip.

4. Then, tear two strips apart and one will leave electrons behind on the other. Meaning that one strip is positive and the other is negative and they will attract each other.
