QveST [7]3 years ago

There are 4 ways in which electrons are emitted from the conductor.

i. Thermionic emission

ii. Electric field electron emission

iii. Photoelectric emission

iv. Secondary emission


In thermionic emission large amount of external energy in the form of heat is supplied to release free electrons from the metal.


In electric field electron emission, electrons are emitted from the metal surface when the metals are placed in a very strong electric field.


During photoelectric emission, light is absorbed by the metals and this provides energy to the valence electrons which break their bond with the parent atom and which are then released from the atom.


Valence electrons do have some kinetic energy, but they don't have enough energy to escape from the atom. During secondary emission, a high-speed electron is bombarded with an atom, which provides the energy for the valence electrons to break their bonds with their parent atom which are then released from the atom.

Answer:

Conditions that result in the emission of electrons from a conductor:

Heating the conductor to a suitable temperature

Exposing the conductor to a strong light

Subjecting the conductor to a very high applied voltage

Subjecting the conductor to high-speed electrons from another source

The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system is equal to the?
marishachu [46]

Answer: The correct answer is "Number of rope segments supporting the load".

Explanation:

Mechanical advantage: It is defined as the ratio of the force produced by a machine to the force applied on the machine. The ideal mechanical advantage of a machines is mechanical advantage in the absence of friction.

The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system is equal to the number of rope segments which is supporting the load. More the rope segments, It is more helpful to do the lifting the work.

It means that less force is needed for this task to complete.

Therefore, the correct option is (C).

a man stands in a lift going downward with uniform velocity. he experiences a loss of weight at the start but not when lift is i
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

It is explained in the explanation section

Explanation:

When the lift starts going downwards, it will start accelerating downwards. After a while, it will start moving with a constant velocity.

Constant velocity means that acceleration is zero and so the man will not feel any weight loss.

Now, Once the lift achieves constant velocity the acceleration is zero hence he will not experience any weight loss.

However, when the lift is in uniform motion, the lift and the man will fall down with an acceleration(a) that is less than that due to gravity(g) . Thus, the man will feel an apparent weight F which is not equal to zero.
