What does "a 4-inch candle" mean ?
Is that the length of the candle or its diameter ?
The life of a candle depends on its length, its diameter, the
thickness and starting-length of its wick, the exact substance
of which it's composed ... the type of wax ... and the motions
of the air around it.
I'll always remember the candle shop I visited ... I don't remember
what I was doing in a candle shop, but I was there. There was a
little wax turkey up on a glass shelf, with a tiny tiny flame in the
middle of its back, so tiny that you could easily miss noticing it.
The little sign standing next to the little turkey on the shelf explained
that this was a Thanksgiving candle ... it was lit last Thanksgiving,
and would continue burning until NEXT Thanksgiving, roughly a year later !
The ammeter reading (current) will decrease.
V=IR
I = V/R
so I is inversely proportional to R, i.e. increasing R will cause I to decrease
Answer:
Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is
Explanation:
Resistance: Resistance is defined to the ratio of voltage to the electricity.
The resistance of a wire is
- directly proportional to its length i.e
- inversely proportional to its cross section area i.e
Therefore
ρ is the resistivity.
The unit of resistance is ohm (Ω).
The resistivity of copper(ρ₁) is 1.68×10⁻⁸ ohm-m
The resistivity of tungsten(ρ₂) is 5.6×10⁻⁸ ohm-m
For copper:
......(1)
Again for tungsten:
........(2)
Given that 
and 
Dividing the equation (1) and (2)
[since and ]
Therefore the ratio of diameter of the copper to that of the tungsten is
Answer: B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.
Explanation:
Weight is a force, and as we know by the second Newton's law:
F = m*a
Force equals mass times acceleration.
Then if the weight is:
Wx, and the mass is m, we have the equation:
Wx = m*a
Where in this case, a is the gravitational field strength.
Then, isolating a in that equation we get:
Wx/m = a
Then the correct option is:
B. The gravitational field strength of Planet X is Wx/m.
