Two different electrical devices have the same power consumption, but one is meant to be operated on 120-V AC and the other on 2

40-V AC. What is the ratio of the resistance of 240V device to the resistance of the 120V device i.e. \frac{R_{240}}{R_{120}} ​R ​120 ​​ ​ ​R ​240 ​​ ​​ ?

Answer:4

Explanation:

For same Power one device is operated at V_1=120 V and another at V_2=240\ V

Suppose R_1 and R_2 is the resistance of first and second device respectively

using P=\frac{V^}{R}

For first device

P=\frac{(120)^2}{R_1}

R_1=\frac{120^2}{P}

For second Device

R_2=\frac{240^}{P}

Ratio of resistances are

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=\frac{240^2}{120^2}

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=(2)^2

\frac{R_2}{R_1}=4

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC , is
ICE Princess25 [194]

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC, is on the x axis at x=0.500 m.

No, there is no point at a finite distance where the electric potential is zero.

Hence, Option D) is correct.

What is electric potential?

Electric potential is the capacity for doing work. In the electrical case, a charge will exert a force on some other charge and the potential energy arises. For example, if a positive charge Q is fixed at some point in space, any other positive charge when brought close to it will experience a repulsive force and will therefore have potential energy.

It is also defined as the amount of work required to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field.

In a thunderstorm, electric charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. Thus, the charge can be considere
muminat

Answer:

2.1\cdot 10^{21} electrons

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field outside an electrically charged sphere is given by the equation

E=\frac{kQ}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge stored on the sphere

r is the distance (from the centre of the sphere) at which the field is calculated

In this problem, the cloud is assumed to be a  charged sphere, so we have:

E_b=3.00\cdot 10^6 N/C is the maximum electric field strength tolerated by the air before breakdown occurs

r=1.00 km = 1000 m is the radius of the sphere

Re-arranging the equation for Q, we find the maximum charge that can be stored on the cloud:

Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^6)(1000)^2}{9\cdot 10^9}=333.3 C

Assuming that the cloud is negatively charged, then

Q=-333.3 C

And since the charge of one electron is

e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

The number of excess electrons on the cloud is

N=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{-333.3}{-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.1\cdot 10^{21}
