The resistivity of a metal increases slightly with increased temperature. This can be expressed as rho= rho0[1+α(T−T0)] , where

T0 is a reference temperature, usually 20°C, and α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. For copper, α = 3.9× 10−3 ° C−1. Suppose a long, thin copper wire has a resistance of 0.25 Ω at 20°C.
At what temperature, in °C, will its resistance be 0.31 Ω?

Answer:

At 81. 52 Deg C its resistance will be 0.31 Ω.

Explanation:

The resistance of wire =R_T =\frac{\rho_T \ l}{A}

Where R_T =Resistance of wire at Temperature T

\rho_T = Resistivity at temperature T =\rho_0 \ [1 \ + \alpha\ (T-T_0\ )]

Where T_0 =20\ Deg\ C , \  \rho_0 = Constant,  \alpha =3.9 \times 10^-^3 DegC^-1 \ (Given)

l=Length of the wire

& A = Area of cross section of wire

For long and thin wire the resistance & resistivity relation will be as follows

\frac{R_T_1}{R_T_2}=\frac{\rho_0(1+\alpha \cdot(T_1-2 0 )}{\rho_0(1+\alpha \cdot (T_2 -20 )}

\frac{0.25}{0.31}=\frac{1}{[1+\alpha(T-20)]}

1.24=1+\alpha (T-20)

0.24=\alpha(\ T -20 )

Putting\ the\ value\ of \alpha = 3.9 \times 10^-^3 DegC^-1

T = 81.52 Deg C

What must you know to find the amount of work done on an object
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

The work is calculated by multiplying the force by the amount of movement of an object (W = F * d). A force of 10 newtons, that moves an object 3 meters, does 30 n-m of work. A newton-meter is the same thing as a joule, so the units for work are the same as those for energy – joules.

Infer​ the effect of deforestation on the carrying capacity of the Amazon rainforest.
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

More than 20% of the amazon has been destroyed, affects biodiversity.

Explanation:

  • The biggest issues that the amazon is facing is the deforestation and it involves the clearing of land areas for logging, farming, and other land-use changes.
  • Effects that are seen are droughts, floods, destruction of habitats of flora and fauna along with the valuable services of the ecosystem.
  • This leads to a decrease in the carrying capacity of the species and the decline of the essential resources that are necessary to survive.

"A thin film with an index of refraction of 1.50 is placed in one of the beams of a Michelson interferometer. If this causes a s
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

The film thickness is 4.32 * 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Here in this question, we are interested in calculating the thickness of the film.

Mathematically;

The number of fringes shifted when we insert a film of refractive index n and thickness L in the Michelson Interferometer is given as;

ΔN = (2L/λ) (n-1)

where λ is the wavelength of the light used

Let’s make L the subject of the formula

(λ * ΔN)/2(n-1) = L

From the question ΔN = 8 , λ = 540 nm, n = 1.5

Plugging these values, we have

L = ((540 * 10^-9 * 8)/2(1.5-1) = (4320 * 10^-9)/1 = 4.32 * 10^-6 m
