Answer:

Explanation:

Fuses and circuit breakers helps to:

protect equipment by stopping the flow of electric current; protect your house from fire

GFCI helps prevent electric shocks in a house:

GFCI outlets prevent electrocution if you are touching a wet appliance

Three 3ohms resistors in series would give you give a combined resistance of:

Resistance = (3+3+3)ohms = 9ohms

Which type wire should be used to increase resistance

8_murik_8 [283]

Nichrome wire. That's the stuff that toasters are made from. The resistance is pretty high, considering the diameter. 1 meter is at about the same guage as that listed below for copper is about 96 ohms.

Most of the time you are trying to use wire with the least resistance.

A meter of copper has a listed resistance of 0.024 ohms / meter. The wire is a 19 guage wire which makes it pretty thin.

===============

I'm not sure what you are asking. If want the resistance of something in terms of what would increase the resistance of the same material for both calculations then

Rule 1: It you decrease the wire diameter, you increase the resistance

Rule 2: If you increase the length of the wire, you increase the resistance.

Both rules assume you are using something like copper.

A uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of a circular loop of diameter 13 cm formed from wire of diameter 2.6 mm

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Rate of change of magnetic field is $3.466\times 10^3T/sec$

Explanation:

We have given diameter of the circular loop is 13 cm = 0.13 m

So radius of the circular loop $r=\frac{0.13}{2}=0.065m$

Length of the circular loop $L=2\pi r=2\times 3.14\times 0.065=0.4082m$

Wire is made up of diameter of 2.6 mm

So radius $r=\frac{2.6}{2}=1.3mm=0.0013m$

Cross sectional area of wire $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times0.0013^2=5.30\times 10^{-6}m^2$

Resistivity of wire $\rho =2.18\times 10^{-8}m$

Resistance of wire $R=\frac{\rho L}{A}=\frac{2.18\times 10^{-8}\times 0.4082}{5.30\times 10^{-6}}=1.67\times 10^{-3}ohm$

Current is given i = 11 A

So emf $e=11\times 1.67\times 10^{-3}=0.0183volt$

Emf induced in the coil is $e=-\frac{d\Phi }{dt}=-A\frac{dB}{dt}$

$0.0183=5.30\times 10^{-6}\times \frac{dB}{dt}$

$\frac{dB}{dt}=3.466\times 10^3=T/sec$
