What would decrease the resistance of wires carrying an electric current?

Physics
2 answers:
alisha [4.7K]3 years ago

Answer:

shorter wires

Explanation:

Resistance, R = ρL / A

where R = Resistance, ρ = constant called Resistivity, L = Length and A = Area,

From the formula, above, the Resistance R would decrease if the length is small.

Answer:

Shorter wires

Explanation:

The formula used to find the resistance of wires carrying electric current is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}...............(1)

Where

\rho is the resistivity of the substance

l is the length of the wire

A is the area of cross section  

From equation (1), it is clear that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to its length. So, by decreasing the length of the wire, the resistance of the wire decrease. Hence, the correct option is (a).

an input force of 50 Newtons is applied through a distance of 10 meters to machine with mechanical advantage of 3. If the work o
gladu [14]
The output of the machine is

                                      (output work) =  (output force) x (distance)

                                        450 N-m      =  (output force) x (3 meters)

Divide each side
by  3 meters:                Output force = (450 N-m) / (3 m)

                                                           =    150 newtons .

With all the information given about the output work, we don't need
to know anything about the input work, or even the fact that we're
dealing with a machine.

It's comforting, though, to look back and notice that the output work
(450 N-m) is not more than the input work (500 N-m).  So everything
is nice and hunky-dory.
___________________________________

Well, my goodness !
I didn't even need to go through all of that.

Given:

-- The input force to the machine is 50 newtons.

-- The mechanical advantage of the machine is 3 .

That right there tells us that

-- The output force of the machine is 150 newtons.

We don't need any of the other given information.

Harman [31]

Explanation:

Here are some of the ways that energy can change (transform) from one type to another:

The Sun transforms nuclear energy into heat and light energy.

Our bodies convert chemical energy in our food into mechanical energy for us to move.

An electric fan transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy.
