An alternator provides 20 A of peak current at 100 V peak AC to a resistive electric heater. How much heating power is delivered

to the load?
Physics

-- The resistance of the heater is (volts/current) = 5 ohms

-- The heating (RMS) value of a sinusoidal AC is V(peak)/√2 .  For this particular alternator, V(peak)=100V, so the heating (RMS) equivalent is 70.71 V.

-- The heating power delivered to the electric heater is (E²/R).

Power = (100/√2)² / 5

Power = 5,000 / 5

<u>Power = 1,000 watts </u>

What is the relationship between air pressure and air temperature?
LenKa [72]
The relationship between the two is that air temperature changes the air pressure. For example, as the air warms up the molecules in the air become more active and they use up more individual space even though there is the same<span> number of molecules. This causes an </span>increase<span> in the air pressure.</span>

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

Becomes greater

Explanation:

Distance between the central maxima and the next line increase with the wavelength i.e.

d =\frac{3 \lambda L}{2a}

As, the wavelength of the red light is greater than the wavelength of the green light, thus, the distance between  the central maxima and the next line becomes greater.

Option 5 is correct.

KatRina [158]

Answer:

4 Ohms

Explanation

(This is seriously not as hard as it looks :)

You only need two types of calculations:

  1. replace two resistances, say, R1 and R2, connected in a series by a single one R. In this case the new R is a sum of the two: R = R_1+R_2
  2. replace two resistances that are connected in parallel. In that case: \frac{1}{R}= \frac{1}{R_1}+\frac{1}{R_2}\\\mbox{or}\\R= \frac{R_1\cdot R_2}{R_1+R_2}

I am attaching a drawing showing the process of stepwise replacement of two resistances at a time (am using rectangles to represent a resistance). The left-most image shows the starting point, just a little bit "warped" to see it better. The two resistances (6 Ohm next to each other) are in parallel and are replaced by a single resistance (3 Ohm, see formula above) in the top middle image. Next, the two resistances (9 and 3 Ohm) are nicely in series, so they can be replaced by their sum, which is what happened going to the top right image. Finally we have two resistances in parallel and they can be replaced by a single, final, resistance as shown in the bottom right image. That (4 Ohms) is the <em>equivalent resistance</em> of the original circuit.

Using these two transformations you will be able to solve step by step any  problem like this, no matter how complex.
