A wire is made from a material having a temperature coefficient of resistivity of 0.0003125 (°C^-1). In an experiment, we mainta

in a constant potential difference of 150 volts across the wire and measure the power dissipation in it as a function of temperature ; at a temperature of 20° C, the power dissipation is 300 watts. What is the (%) change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C?

Answer:

The percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C is 36%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125

Potential difference = 150 V

Temperature = 20° C

Power = 300 watt

Wire's initial temperature = 20°C

Wire's final temperature = 1820°C

We need to calculate the resistance at 20°C

Using formula of power

P=\dfrac{V^2}{R_{0}}

R_{0}=\dfrac{V^2}{P}

Where, P = power

V = Potential difference

R_{0}=\dfrac{150^2}{300}

R_{0}=75\ \Omega

We need to calculate the resistance at 1820°C

Using formula of temperature of coefficient of resistivity

R=R_{0}(1+\alpha(T-T_{0}))

R=75(1+0.0003125(1820-20))

R=117.19\ \Omega

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P'=\dfrac{V^2}{R}

P'=\dfrac{150^2}{117.19}

P'=192\ Watt

We need to calculate the percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C

\Delta P=|\dfrac{P'-P}{P}|\times100

\Delta P=|\dfrac{192-300}{300}|\times100

\Delta P=36\%

Hence, The percentage change in the power dissipation as the wire's temperature rises from 20°C to 1820°C is 36%.

Answer:

The power decreases by 36%

Explanation:

Given:

At 20° C

Power, P₀ = 300 W

Potential difference, V = 150 volts

Now, power is given as

P = V²/R

where, R is the resistance

on substituting the values, we get

300 = 150²/R₀

or

R₀ = 75 Ω

Now, the variation of resistance with temperature is given as

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

where, α is the temperature coefficient of resistivity = 0.0003125 (°C⁻¹)

now, at

T₀ = 20° C

R₀ = 75 Ω

for

T = 1820° C

we have

R = R₀[1 + α(T - T₀)]

substituting the values

we get

R = 75×[1 + 0.0003125 × (1820 - 20)]

or

R = 117.18 Ω

Now using the formula for power

We have,

P = V²/R

or

P = 150²/117.18 = 192 W

Therefore, the percentage change will be

= \frac{P-P_0}{P_0}\times 100

on substituting the values , we get

= \frac{192-300}{300}\times 100

= -36%

here, negative sign depicts the decrease in power

All biomes don’t have the same level of biodiversity. What seems to be the optimal conditions for high biodiversity?
irinina [24]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The optimal conditions for high biodiversity seem to be a <u>warm temperature</u> and <u>wet climates</u>.

<em>The tropical areas of the world have the highest biodiversity and are characterized by an average annual temperature of above 18 </em>^oC<em> and annual precipitation of 262 cm. The areas are referred to as the world's biodiversity hotspots. </em>

Consequently, it follows logically that the optimal conditions for high biodiversity would be a warm temperature of above 18 ^oC and wet environment with annual precipitation of not less than 262 cm.

The variation in temperature and precipitation across biomes can thus be said to be responsible for the variation in the level of biodiversity in them.
