Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

Heat pump can be find using the equation

β = TH / TH - TC

a.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / 288.15 k - ( 253.15 K )

β = 8.23 K

b.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / 288.15 k - ( 278.15 K )

β = 28.815 K

Why does it take significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move the beam of alpha particles compared with
wlad13 [49]
It takes significantly stronger magnetic and electric field strengths to move a beam of alpha particles compared with the beam of electrons(betaparticles) because the charge of an alpha particle is twice stronger than a beta particle. Therefore, more energy is needed to move the alpha particle.

Gauss law states that the electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge inside the surface. This is expressed mathematically in the form of:

Φ = Q / εo

Where,

Φ = the electric flux = unknown (which we have to find for)

Q = the net electric charge = 5.0 µC = 5 E-6 C

εo = the permittivity of free space = a constant value = 8.85 E-12 C^2 / N m^2

Plugging in the values into the equation will result in:

Φ = 5 E-6 C / (8.85 E-12 C^2 / N m^2)

Φ = 564,971.75 Wb = <span>5.6 x 10^5 Wb </span>
