Answer:

63.8 V

Explanation:

We are given that

A_1=1.6 cm^2=1.6\times 10^{-4} m^2

1 cm^2=10^{-4} m^2

A_2=1.2 cm^2=1.2\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_3=4.4 cm^2=4.4\times 10^{-4} m^2

A_4=7 cm^2=7\times 10^{-4} m^2

Potential difference,V=140 V

We know that

R=\frac{\rho l}{A}

According to question

l_1=l_2=l_3=l_4=l

In series

R=R_1+R_2+R_3+R_4

R=\rho l(\frac{1}{A_1}+\frac{1}{A_2}+\frac{1}{A_3}+\frac{1}{A_4})

R=\rho l(\frac{1}{1.6\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{4.4\times 10^{-4}}+\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-4}})

R=\rho l(18284.6)

I=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{140}{\rho l\times 18284.6}

Potential across 1.2 square cm=V_1=IR_1=\frac{140}{\rho l\times 18284.6}\times \rho l(\frac{1}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}=63.8 V

Hence, the voltage across the 1.2 square cm wire=63.8 V

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The power in this flow is 9.56\times10^{8}\ W

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 221 m

Power output = 680 MW

Height =150 m

Average flow rate = 650 m³/s

Suppose we need to calculate the power in this flow in watt

We need to calculate the pressure

Using formula of pressure

Pressure=\rho g h

Where, \rho= density

h = height

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

Pressure=1000\times9.8\times150

Pressure=1470000\ Nm^2

We need to calculate the power

Using formula of power

P=Pressure\times flow\ rate

Put the value into the formula

P=1470000\times650

P=9.56\times10^{8}\ W

Hence, The power in this flow is 9.56\times10^{8}\ W
