7. Why do some bulbs heat up more than others?

Physics
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Bulbs that heat a gas or a filament will heat up more than other light sources.

Explanation:  

Incandescent bulbs are consist of thin wire known as filament which converts electric current into light. These filaments are made up of tungsten metal. The filaments gets hot due to the passage of electric currents which turns the bulb up. Bulb starts glowing and produce light then.

There are many ways to convert electricity into light that is why some bulbs heat up more than others. Some of then are very efficient (converts electricity to light mainly) while others are less efficient (converts electricity to light as well as produce plenty of heat).  

For example:

  • Incandescent Bulbs -they get hot
  • Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs - they get a little bit hot
  • Light Emitting Diode (LED) - they don’t get hot
  • Halogen Bulbs (halogen gas) - they get extremely hot

Which scenario will drain the battery in the circuit diagram fastest: three 20 W bulbs in positions one, two, and three or 80 W
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

If you connect the three bulbs 20 W each will have a total power of 60W.

Now we need to understand to assign the meaning of the word gap, that is, if the circuit is open at that point or if there is no bulb connected at that point.

If the circuit is open at Point 2, there will be no current in the circuit, so the battery will drain faster with the three bulbs 20W.

In the second event, where gap means that there are no bulbs connected at that point, it means that you have two bulbs connected in series of 80W each.

In this case the bulbs will consume 160W thus drain the battery faster than the three 20W bulbs connected in series.

You need to design a 60.0-Hz ac generator that has a maximum emf of 5200 V. The generator is to contain a 130-turn coil that has
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

B =  0.129 T

Explanation:

Given,

frequency, f = 60 Hz

maximum  emf = 5200 V

Number of turns, N = 130

Area per turn = 0.82 m²

We know,

ω = 2 π f

ω = 2 π x 60 = 376.99 rad/s

now, Magnetic field calculation

B =\dfrac{\epsilon_{max}}{NA\omega}

B =\dfrac{5200}{130\times 0.82\times 376.99}

B =  0.129 T

Hence, the magnetic field is equal to B =  0.129 T

The uniform 100-kg I-beam is supported initially by its end rollers on the horizontal surface at A and B. by means of the cable
Ann [662]

I attached a free body diagram for a better understanding of this problem.

We start making summation of Moments in A,

\sum M_A = 0

P(6cos\theta)-981(4cos\theta)=0

P=654N

Then we make a summation of Forces in Y,

\sum F_y = 0

654+R-981 = 0

R=327N

At the end we calculate the angle with the sin.

sin\theta = \frac{3m}{4m+2m+2m} = \frac{3m}{8m}

\theta = 22.02\°
