Answer:

(a) The power wasted for 0.289 cm wire diameter is 15.93 W

(b) The power wasted for 0.417 cm wire diameter is 7.61 W

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the wire, d = 0.289 cm = 0.00289 m

voltage of the wire, V = 120 V

Power drawn, P = 1850 W

The resistivity of the wire, ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω⋅m

Area of the wire;

A = πd²/4

A = (π x 0.00289²) / 4

A = 6.561 x 10⁻⁶ m²

(a) At 26 m of this wire, the resistance of the is

R = ρL / A

R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸  x 26) / 6.561 x 10⁻⁶

R = 0.067 Ω

Current in the wire is calculated as;

P = IV

I = P / V

I = 1850 / 120

I = 15.417 A

Power wasted = I²R

Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.067)

Power wasted = 15.93 W

(b) when a diameter of 0.417 cm is used instead;

d = 0.417 cm = 0.00417 m

A = πd²/4

A = (π x 0.00417²) / 4

A = 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m²

Resistance of the wire at 26 m length of wire and  1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m² area;

R = ρL / A

R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸  x 26) / 1.366 x 10⁻⁵

R = 0.032 Ω

Power wasted = I²R

Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.032)

Power wasted = 7.61 W

Which quantum number gives the approximate energy of an electron in the quantum mechanical model of the atom? A) n B) I C) m1 D
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Option A) n

Explanation:

In accordance to Quantum Mechanical model of an atom:

  • The Principle Quantum number (n) gives the description of the shell of an electron and the energy level of an electron in an atom.
  • The angular momentum also referred to as Azimuthal Quantum number (l) gives the description of  the shape of the orbitals and helps in determination of angular momentum magnitude.
  • The magnetic quantum number (m_{1}) describes the energy levels or the number of orbitals contained in a subshell and the way these are oriented within.
  • The spin quantum no. (m_{2}) determines the elelctron spin's direction which may be (-\frac{1}{2}) or (+\frac{1}{2}).
