Answer:
I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA
Explanation:
If
I₁ = 5 mA
L₁ = L₂ = L
V₁ = V₂ = V
ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m
ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m
D₁ = D
D₂ = 2D
S₁ = 0.25*π*D²
S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²
If we apply the equation
R = ρ*L / S
where (using Ohm's Law):
R = V / I
we have
V / I = ρ*L / S
If V and L are the same
V / L = ρ*I / S
then
(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂ ⇒ ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂
If
S₁ = 0.25*π*D² and
S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²
we have
ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)
⇒ I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂
⇒ I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m
⇒ I₂ = 21.13 mA
The equation for electrical power is<span>P=VI</span>where V is the voltage and I is the current. This can be rearranged to solve for I in 6(a).
6(b) can be solved with Ohm's Law<span>V=IR</span>or if you'd like, from power, after substituting Ohm's law in for I<span>P=<span><span>V2</span>R</span></span>
For 7, realize that because they are in parallel, their voltages are the same.
We can find the resistance of each lamp from<span>P=<span><span>V2</span>R</span></span>Then the equivalent resistance as<span><span>1<span>R∗</span></span>=<span>1<span>R1</span></span>+<span>1<span>R2</span></span></span>Then the total power as<span><span>Pt</span>=<span><span>V2</span><span>R∗</span></span></span>However, this will reveal that (with a bit of algebra)<span><span>Pt</span>=<span>P1</span>+<span>P2</span></span>
For 8, again the resistance can be found as<span>P=<span><span>V2</span>R</span></span>The energy usage is simply<span><span>E=P⋅t</span></span>
Answer:
The moon has no atmosphere
Explanation:
The temperatures on the surface of the Moon vary much more than those on Earth because the moon has no atmosphere (third answer in the list), and therefore there are no molecules that could retain residual heat and make the change from day to night a softer transition.
