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).

g a small smetal sphere, carrying a net charge is held stationarry. what is the speed are 0.4 m apart

weeeeeb [17]

Complete Question

A small metal sphere, carrying a net charge q1=−2μC, is held in a stationary position by insulating supports. A second small metal sphere, with a net charge of q2= -8μC and mass 1.50g, is projected toward q1. When the two spheres are 0.80m apart, q2 is moving toward q1 with speed 20ms−1. Assume that the two spheres can be treated as point charges. You can ignore the force of gravity.The speed of q2 when the spheres are 0.400m apart is.

Answer:

The value $v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The charge on the first sphere is $q_1 = 2\mu C = 2*10^{-6} \ C$

The charge on the second sphere is $q_2 = 8 \mu C = 8*10^{-6} \ C$

The mass of the second charge is $m = 1.50 \ g = 1.50 *10^{-3} \ kg$

The distance apart is $d = 0.4 \ m$

The speed of the second sphere is $v_1 = 20 \ ms^{-1}$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.8 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q = KE + U$

Here KE is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_1)^2$

substituting value

$KE = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (20 )^2$

$KE = 0.3 \ J$

And U is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.8 }$

$U = 0.18 \ J$

So

$Q = 0.3 + 0.18$

$Q = 0.48 \ J$

Generally the total energy possessed by when $q_2$ and $q_1$ are separated by $0.4 \ m$ is mathematically represented

$Q_f = KE_f + U_f$

Here $KE_f$ is the kinetic energy which is mathematically represented as

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} m (v_2^2$

substituting value

$KE_f = \frac{1 }{2} * ( 1.50 *10^{-3}) (v_2 )^2$

$KE_f = 7.50 *10^{ -4} (v_2 )^2$

And $U_f$ is the potential energy which is mathematically represented as

$U_f = \frac{k * q_1 * q_2 }{d }$

substituting values

$U_f = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-6} * 8*10^{-6} }{0.4 }$

$U_f = 0.36 \ J$

From the law of energy conservation

$Q = Q_f$

So

$0.48 = 0.36 +(7.50 *10^{-4} v_2^2)$

$v_2 = 4 \sqrt{10} \ m/s$
