Power is calculated by multiplying voltage by

Physics
1 answer:
butalik [34]3 years ago
5 0

If you're calculating the power of an athlete who is lifting weights,
or the power of a windmill that is pumping water from a well, or
the power of two horses turning millstones, then those electrical
units won't help at all.

But if you happen to be calculating the power delivered to an
electrical circuit or dissipated by an electrical device, then you
can use ...

                (voltage) times (current)
or
                (voltage)² divided by (resistance)
or
                (current)² times (resistance) .

The choice just depends on which quantities you know
or can easily measure.

guapka [62]

Answer:

The forces acting on the pen which is still on the table can have two forces acting on them.  The forces are gravitational force and the equal and opposite force to the gravitational forces.

The equal and opposite forces that is applied on the pen keeps the pen still on the table.

So, the statement that no force is applied on the pen which is kept still on the table is wrong as two forces are applied on the pen.

As both the forces are equal and opposite so it is cancelled and is still.

Several wires of varying thickness are all made of the same material and all have the same length. If the wires are arranged in
aev [14]

Answer:

Option A is correct.

The wires will be arranged in order of increasing resistance.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by

r = (ρl)/A

where r = resistance of the wire

ρ = resistivity of the wire

L = length of the wire

A = cross sectional area of the wire

Provided all the other parameters are constant, resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area

r ∝ (1/A)

And the the cross sectional Area of the wire increases with increase in thickness & decreases with thickness

So, decreasing thickness ----> Decreasing Cross sectional Area ----> Increasing resistance.

A manufacturer claims that a carpet will not generate more than 5.8 kV of static electricity What magnitude of charge would have
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 5.8 kV

d = Potential distance = 2.8 mm = 0.0028 m

A = Area = 0.3×0.08 = 0.024 m²

ε₀ = permittivity constant in a Vacuum= 8.85×10⁻¹² F/m

\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{A\epsilon_0}{d}\\\Rightarrow \Q=V\frac{A\epsilon_0}{d}\\\Rightarrow Q=5.8\times 10^3\frac{0.024\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{0.0028}\\\Rightarrow Q=4.4\times 10^{-7}\ C

Magnitude of charge transferred between a carpet and a shoe is 4.4×10⁻⁷ Coulomb.
