Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When gas is compressed then molecules of gas will come closer to each other. Though molecules already had kinetic energy and on compressing the molecules will collide more rapidly with each other.

As a result, energy will be released in the form of heat. Thus, there will be rise in temperature.

Hence, we can conclude that when a gas is compressed, the molecules are pushed closer together causing the gas to rise in temperature.

The answer is "rise in temperature". Think of when you're in a crowded place. When it's crowded it gets hot because of the energy radiating off of everyone around you.

The resistivity of gold is at room temperature. A gold wire that is 0.9 mm in diameter and 14 cm long carries a current of 940 m

IgorC [24]

Answer:

0.0360531138247 V/m

Explanation:

$\rho$ = Resistivity of gold = $2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega .m$ (General value)

I = Current = 940 mA

d = Diameter = 0.9 mm

A = Area = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

E = Electric field

Resistivity is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{EA}{I}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{\rho I}{A}\\\Rightarrow E=\dfrac{2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 940\times 10^{-3}}{\dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.9\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow E=0.0360531138247\ V/m$
