A circuit element maintains a constant resistance. If the current through the circuit element is doubled, what is the effect on

the power dissipated by the circuit element
Physics

Morgarella [4.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

<h3>This shows that the power dissipated by the circuit element is four times its original power if the current is doubled.</h3>

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the power expended in a circuit is P =  I²R... 1

i is the current (in amperes)

R is the resistance (in ohms)

If  a circuit element maintains a constant resistance and the current through the circuit element is doubled, then new current I₂ = 2I

New power dissipated P₂ = (I₂)²R

P₂ = (2I)²R

P₂ = 4I²R ... 2

Dividing equation 2 by 1 will give;

P₂/P = 4I²R/I²R

P₂/P = 4

P₂ = 4P

This shows that the power dissipated by the circuit element is four times its original power if the current is doubled.

Nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. Is this process endothermic or exothermic?
Anna71 [15]

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.

Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.

Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.

As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.

Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.

A hockey puck is sliding across a frozen pond with an initial speed of 9.3 m/s. It comes to rest after sliding a distance of 42.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11

Explanation:

Given;

initial speed, u = 9.3 m/s

sliding distance, S = 42 m

From equation of motion we determine the acceleration;

v² = u² + 2as

0 = (9.3)² + (2x42)a

- 84a = 86.49

a = -86.49/84

|a| = 1.0296

F_k = \mu_k N = ma

where;

Fk is the frictional force

μk is the coefficient of kinetic friction

N is the normal reaction = mg

μkmg = ma

μkg = a

μk = a/g

where;

g is the gravitational constant = 9.8 m/s²

μk = a/g

μk = 1.0296/9.8

μk = 0.11

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the puck and the ice is 0.11
