Answer: To reduce resistance in order to achieve high efficiency of electrical transmission.

Explanation: Given that the

Power P = Current I^2 x Resistance R

That is,

P = I^2 × R

Also, remember that

P = IV

Where V = voltage.

Looking at the power equations above, we can explain why transmitting electricity at a very high voltage is beneficial. Because Transmitting at very high voltage will make current to be transmitted or flow through the wire with a very small magnitude. Since Voltage is inversely proportional to current from the formula

P = IV

Electricity will flow in any diameter of cable use with a low resistance thereby, increasing the efficiency of the electricity transmission by reducing the heat that might be generated as a result of electrical resistance during the course of transmission.

In a photoelectric experiment, a metal is irradiated with light of energy 3.56 eV. If a stopping potential of 1.10 V is required
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

2.46 eV

Explanation:

It is given that,

The energy of light that fall on the metal = 3.56 eV

The stopping potential of the metal = 1.1 V

We need to find the work function of the metal. It is given by the relation as follows :

W = E-KE ...(1)

Where KE is the kinetic energy of the ejected electron and it is given by :

KE = V×e

= 1.1 eV

Put all the values in formula (1)

W = 3.56 eV - 1.1 eV

= 2.46 eV

Hence, the work function of the metal is 2.46 eV. Hence, the correct option is (c).
