5) A parallel series electric blasting circuit consists of 6 branches of 8 caps each. Cap legwire length is 28 ft. The cap circu

it is connected by 50 ft total length of No. 16 gauge bus wire. The lead wires are No. 14 gauge 1,000 ft long one-way. Find the minimum dc current and voltage required to safely fire this blast under current leakage conditions.

Answer:

Minimum DC current = 9 Ampere

Voltage = 74.862 V

Explanation:

Here in this questions three resistors are used in series

Resistance of cap circuit

R_1 =\frac{ 8* 2.3}{6} \\R_1 = 3.067

Here 2.3 is the resistance per cap

Resistance of bus wire

R_2 = \frac{50 * 4.02 }{1000} \\R_2 = 0.201

Where 4.02 is the resistance per 1000 feet of bus wire of gauge 16

Resistance of firing line

R_3 = \frac{(2*1000)* 2.525}{1000} \\R_3 = 5.05

where 2.525 is the resistance per 1000 feet of bus wire of gauge 14

Total resistance is equal to

R = R_1 + R_2 + R_3\\R = 3.067 + 0.201 + 5.05 \\R = 8.318

Current in firing line is equal to

1.5 * 6\\= 9

Voltage is equal to product of resistance and current

= 9 * 8.318\\= 74.862

A wire of radius R has a current I uniformly distributed across its cross-sectional area. Ampere's law is used with a concentric
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The crucial point here is to calculate the enclosed current. If the current I is flowing through the whole cross-sectional area of the wire, the current density is

J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2}

The current density is constant for different parts of the wire. This idea is similar to that of the density of a glass of water is equal to the density of a whole bucket of water.

So,

J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2} = \frac{I_{enc}}{\pi r^2}\\I_{enc} = \frac{Ir^2}{R^2}

This enclosed current is now to be used in Ampere’s Law.

\mu_o I_{enc} = \int {B} \, dl

Here, \int \, dl represents the circular path of radius r. So we can replace the integral with the circumference of the path, 2\pi r.

As a result, the magnetic field is

B = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{Ir}{R^2}

How much work is required to move
Nikitich [7]
The work is path independent since we have a conservative force.

Thus W=d\cdot\frac{q\cdot U}{d^2}=\frac{3.0\cdot9.0}{0.010}=\boxed{2700 J}

Q C Many people assume air resistance acting on a moving object will always make the object slow down. It can, however, actually
OLga [1]

$E_i-E_f=-17.94 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~J}-\left(-18.30 \times 10^9 \mathrm{~J}\right)=3.60 \times 10^8 \mathrm{~J}$.

The most effective forces on the object are the backward force of air resistance relatively very small in magnitude, and the force of gravity. Because the spiral path of the satellite is not perpendicular to the gravitational force, one element of the gravitational force pulls forward. at the satellite to do fantastic work & make its speed increase.

<h3>What is called gravitational force?</h3>

Gravity, additionally referred to as gravitation, is a force that exists amongst all material gadgets withinside the universe. For any objects or particles having nonzero mass, the force of gravity tends to draw them in the direction of each other. Gravity operates on objects of all sizes, from subatomic particles to clusters of galaxies.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.
