To work on your car at night, you use an extension cord to connect your work light to a power outlet near the door. How would th

Answer:

The longer the cord, the lower the illumination

Explanation:

The illumination provided by the light bulb will be reduced as the length of the extension cord increases. This is because the resistance provided by the wire increases with its length.

Long wires have more electrical resistance than shorter ones.

Let us consider this formula:

Resistance =\frac{\rho L}{A}

From this formula, we can see that as the length increases, the resistance to current flow offered by the wire increases also provided the resistivity and cross-sectional area of the wire remain constant. As a result of this, the illumination will drop.

A 115-turn circular coil of radius 2.71 cm is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicular to the plane of the coi
tester [92]

Answer:

80.6 mV

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 115

Radius of coil, r = 2.71 cm = 0.0271m

Time taken, t = 0.133s

Initial magnetic field, Bin = 50.1 mT = 0.0501 T

Final magnetic field, Bfin = 90.5 mT = 0.0905 T

Induces EMF is given as:

EMF = [(Bfin - Bin) * N * A] / t

EMF = [(0.0905 - 0.0501) * 115 * pi * 0.0271²] / 0.133

EMF = (0.0404 * 115 * 3.142 * 0.0007344) / 0.133

EMF = 0.0806 V = 80.6 mV

1. thomas jefferson proposed using the length (l) of a simple pendulum whose period (t) was exactly 2 seconds as the definition
Alecsey [184]

The length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.

Given that, initial length of the simple pendulum L₁ = 1 m

Initial time period T₁ = 2 sec

We need to find the length of the pendulum whose time period is 2 sec

T₂ = 2 sec

L₂ = ?

We know that the time period of the simple pendulum is given by the formula,

T = 2π√(L/g)

From the above relation, we can write T ∝ √L

T₁ / T₂ = √(L₁/L₂)

Making L₂ from the above relation, we have,

L₂ = (T₂² * L₁)/ T₁² = 2² * 1/ 2² = 1 m

Thus, the length of a 2 sec pendulum is 1 m.
