Answer: The correct answer is option (A).

Explanation

Ampacity is defined as the maximum amount of the current carried by the conductor continuously without exceeding its temperature rating.

The ampacity of the wire of the heater is 30 A .And this means that wire is capable of conducting current of maximum amount of 30 Ampere through it without exceeding its temperature rating.

Hence, the correct answer is option is (A).

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

There is a loss of fluid in the container of 0.475L

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to the change of voumen in a substance depending on the temperature.

The formula that describes this thermal expansion process is given by:

$\Delta V = \beta V_0 \Delta T$

Where,

$\Delta V =$ Change in volume

$V_0 =$ Initial Volume

$\Delta T =$ Change in temperature

$\beta =$ coefficient of volume expansion (Coefficient of copper and of the liquid for this case)

There are two types of materials in the container, liquid and copper, so we have to change the amount of Total Volume that would be subject to,

$\Delta V_T = \Delta V_l - \Delta V_c$

Where,

$\Delta V_l$ = Change in the volume of liquid

$\Delta V_c$ = Change in the volume of copper

Then replacing with the previous equation we have:

$\Delta V = \beta_l V_0 \Delta T- \beta_c V_0 \Delta T$

$\Delta V = (\beta_l-\beta_c)V_0\Delta T$

Our values are given as,

Thermal expansion coefficient for copper and the liquid to 20°C is

$\beta_c = 51*10^{-6}/\°C$

$\beta_l = 400*10^{-6}/\°C$

$V_0 = 16L$

$\Delta T = (95\°C-10\°C)$

Replacing we have that,

$\Delta V = (\beta_l-\beta_c)V_0\Delta T$

$\Delta V = (400*10^{-6}/\°C-51*10^{-6}/\°C)(16L)(95\°C-10\°C)$

$\Delta V = 0.475L$

Therefore there is a loss of fluid in the container of 0.475L

Two electrons are initially at rest separated by a distance of 2nm. At time t=0, they start to move apart due to Coulombic repul

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

$t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s$

Explanation:

We know that charge on electron

$q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r= 2 nm

We know that force between two charge given

$F=K\dfrac{Q_1Q_2}{r^2}$

Now by putting the value

$F=9\times10^9\dfrac{1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(2\times 10^{-9})^2}$

$F=5.67\times 10^{-11}\ N$

We know that mass of electron

The mass of electron

$m=9.1\times 10^{-31}\ kg$

F= m a

a= Acceleration of electron

a= F/m

$a=\dfrac{5.67\times 10^{-11}}{9.1\times 10^{-31}}\ m/s^2$

$a=6.2\times 10^{19} m/s^2$

$S=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

initial velocity given that zero ,u=0

$20\times 10^{-9}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.2\times 10^{19} t^2$

$t=\sqrt {\dfrac{40\times 10^{-9}}{6.2\times 10^{19}}}$

$t=2.5\times 10^{-14}\ s$
