Answer:

The driving force for (a) heat transfer is temperature difference. (b) electric current is voltage difference. (c) fluid flow is pressure or hydraulic head difference.

Explanation: (a) The driving force for heat transfer is temperature difference. Heat transfer between two mediums is possible only if the two mediums are at different temperature, the higher the temperature, the higher the heat transfer.

(b) The driving force for electric current is voltage difference. Voltage difference is defined as the potential difference in charge between two points in electrical field. For electric current to occur,the voltage must be high.

(c) The driving force for fluid flow is pressure difference or hydraulic head difference. For fluid to move upward,it requires energy.

What is the value of sin r and sin i in physics​
taurus [48]

Answer:

★The second law of refraction

The ratio of sine of angle of incidence to the sine of angle of refraction is a constant for a light of given colour and for a given pair of media. This law is also called Snell's law of refraction. If 'i' is the angle of incidence and 'r' is the angle of refraction then, Sin i/Sin r = constant

This constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.

Two particles with oppositely signed charges nC are placed at two of the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 3
babymother [125]

The magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

<h3>Electric field at the third vertex of the triangle </h3>

The electric field at the third vertex of the equilateral triangle due to the other charges placed on the first and second vertices is calculated as follows;

E = E(13) + E(23)

E = (kq₁)/r² + (kq₂)/r²

where;

  • q1 is positive charge
  • q2 is negative charge

E =  (kq₁)/r² - (kq₂)/r²

E = 0

Thus, the magnitude of the electric field at the third vertex of the triangle is determined as zero.

How much heat energy is produced by 0.5 Wh of electrical energy ?
babymother [125]
1.7 Btu

1 watt = 3.41214 Btu/h

1watt * 1h = 3.41214 Btu/h * h

1 = 3.41214 Btu/ (watt*h)/

0.5 watt * h = 0.5 watt*h * 3.41214 Btu/(watt*h) = 1.706 Btu
