When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl

aced with a silver wire having twice the diameter of the original wire, how much current will flow through the silver wire? The lengths of both wires are the same, and the voltage difference remains unchanged. (The resistivity of the original metal is 1.68 � 10-8 ? ? m, and the resistivity of silver is 1.59 � 10-8 ? ? m.)

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA

The rhinestones in costume jewelry are glass with index of refraction 1.50. To make them more reflective, they are often coated
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

60

Explanation:

According to the given question, the computation of minimum coating thickness is shown below:-

The condition for constructive interference is

2t_{min} = (m + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}

= (0 + \frac{1}{2} )\times \frac{\lambda}{^nmateral}

t = \frac{\lambda}{4n}

Now we will put the values to the above formula to reach the answer

= \frac{480nm}{4\times 2.0}

= 60

Therefore we simply applied the above formula to determine the minimum coating thickness

To date, Saturn is known to have 13 rings made from which of the following?
ankoles [38]

I think the answer is Dust. Moons and stars definitely don't seem likely and dark particles, I am not even sure what those are. But I have seen rings on other planets before. Hope this helps. :)

How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity
sashaice [31]

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.
