The resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms)

Explanation:

In the United States Of America the standard voltage is 120 v and their frequency is 60 Hz

Standard wall outlet voltage is 120 V

The current in the lamp is 0.5 ampere

Resistance (R) = V/ I

      = 120/0.5

      = 240Ω (ohms)

Thus the resistance of the lamp plugged in to a standard wall outlet with a current of 0.5 amps is 240 Ω (ohms).

Calculate the de Broglie wavelength of an electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of (a) 100 V, (b) 1.0 kV
forsale [732]

Answer:

(a) \lambda=1.227\ A

(b) \lambda=0.388\ A

(c) \lambda=0.038\ A

Explanation:

Given that,

(a) An electron accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 100 V. The De Broglie wavelength in terms of potential difference is given by :

\lambda=\dfrac{h}{\sqrt{2meV} }

Where

m and e are the mass of and charge on an electron

On solving,

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A

V = 100 V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{100} }\ A

\lambda=1.227\ A

(b) V = 1 kV = 1000 V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{V} }\ A

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{1000} }\ A

\lambda=0.388\ A

(c) If V=100\ kV=10^5\ V

\lambda=\dfrac{12.27}{\sqrt{10^5} }\ A

\lambda=0.038\ A

Hence, this is the required solution.

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Neptune is approximately 41 times as far from the sun as Venus

Explanation:

Estimate = distance of Neptune from the sun ÷ distance of Venus from the sun = 4.5×10^9 ÷ 1.18×10^8 = 40.9 (approximately 41)
