Answer: The correct answer is kelvin.

Explanation:

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Kelvin is as follows:

K= 273 + degree Celsius

The expression for the conversion of degree Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows:

$F=(Degree Celsius\times \frac{9}{5})+ 32$

The freezing point of water on Celsius degree is zero degree Celsius. The freezing point on kelvin scale is 273.15 K.

The boiling point of water on Celsius degree is 100 degree Celsius. The boiling point on kelvin scale is 373.15 K. The boiling point on Fahrenheit scale is 373.15 K.

Therefore, Kelvin scale has the highest value for the boiling point of water.

Answer:

$d=1.84\ mm$

Explanation:

<u>Capacitance</u>

A two parallel-plate capacitor has a capacitance of

$\displaystyle C=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{d}$

where

$\epsilon_o=8.85\cdot 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = area of the plates = $\pi r^2$

d = separation of the plates

$\displaystyle d=\frac{\epsilon_o A}{C}=\frac{\epsilon_o \pi r^2}{C}$

We need to compute C. We'll use the circuit parameters for that. The reactance of a capacitor is given by

$\displaystyle X_c=\frac{1}{wC}$

where w is the angular frequency

$w=2\pi f=2\pi \cdot 36000=226194.67\ rad/s$

Solving for C

$\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{wX_c}$

The reactance can be found knowing the total impedance of the circuit:

$Z^2=R^2+X_c^2$

Where R is the resistance, $R=15 K\Omega=15000\Omega$ . Solving for Xc

$X_c^2=Z^2-R^2$

The magnitude of the impedance is computed as the ratio of the rms voltage and rms current

$\displaystyle Z=\frac{V}{I}$

The rms current is the peak current Ip divided by $\sqrt{2}$ , thus

$\displaystyle Z=\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}$

$I_p=0.65\ mA/1000=0.00065\ A$

Now collect formulas

$\displaystyle X_c^2=Z^2-R^2=\left(\frac{\sqrt{2}V}{I_p}\right)^2-R^2$

Or, equivalently

$\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2V^2}{I_p^2}-R^2}$

$\displaystyle X_c=\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot 18^2}{0.00065^2}-15000^2}$

$X_c=36176.34\ \Omega$

The capacitance is now

$\displaystyle C=\frac{1}{226194.67\cdot 36176.34}=1.22\cdot 10^{-10}\ F$

The radius of the plates is

$r=18\ cm/2=9 \ cm = 0.09 \ m$

The separation between the plates is

$\displaystyle d=\frac{8.85\cdot 10^{-12} \cdot \pi\cdot 0.09^2}{1.22\cdot 10^{-10}}$

$d=0.00184\ m$

$\boxed{d=1.84\ mm}$

Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).

Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.

The LIGHT/DARKcontrol of an automatic toaster is placed at a particular setting. The toast at this setting will always be the sa

hichkok12 [17]

The toast at this setting will always be the same color because the toaster uses a compensating thermostat. Depending on the setting, the compensating thermostat will be used to regulate the heat settings at different amounts of time. In one setting, the compensating thermostat could go on for much longer than the other setting before shutting off.

Transformer is used in rectifier step up and step down voltage?<br>

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

While the use of the type of transformer in a rectifier depends on the voltage requirement or to meet desired operating conditions, a step-down transformer is used mainly to reduce the voltage. It is used to bring the high AC voltage level to a reasonable value or the desired output voltage.
