timama [110]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 1 dioptre of power of a lens is defined as the unit of measuring the power of optical lens Or curved mirror which is equal to the reciprocal of the focal length. The focal length is measured in the meter. 1 dioptre is equal to 1/m where m is the focal length. Basically dioptre is the SI unit of optical power of the lens.

Two long parallel wires carry currents of 3.35 A and 6.99 A . The magnitude of the force per unit length acting on each wire is
Nady [450]

Answer:

244mm

Explanation:

I₁ = 3.35A

I₂ = 6.99A

μ₀ = 4π*10^-7

force per unit length (F/L) = 6.03*10⁻⁵N/m

B = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ )/ 2πr .........equation i

B = F / L ..........equation ii

equating equation i & ii,

F / L = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ )/ 2πr

Note F/L = B = F

F = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ ) / 2πr

2πr*F = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ )

r = (μ₀ I₁ I₂ ) / 2πF

r = (4π*10⁻⁷ * 3.35 * 6.99) / 2π * 6.03*10⁻⁵

r = 1.4713*10⁻⁵ / 6.03*10⁻⁵

r = 0.244m = 244mm

The distance between the wires is 244m

What is the principle of potentiometer?​
kupik [55]

Answer:

The principle of a potentiometer is that the potential dropped across a segment of a wire of uniform cross-section carrying a constant current is directly proportional to its length. The potentiometer is a simple device used to measure the electrical potentials (or compare the e.m.f of a cell).

Calculate the current flowing if a charge of 36 kilocoulombs flows in 1 hour.
o-na [289]

Answer:

Current = 10 Amperes.

Explanation:

Given the following dat;

Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C

Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds

To find the current;

Quantity of charge = current * time

Substituting in the equation

36000 = current * 3600

Current = 36000/3600

Current = 10 Amperes.
