Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

d)

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

b)

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

<u>I = 4.92 A</u>

<u></u>

a)

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

<u>R = 24.4 Ω</u>

<u></u>

c)

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

<u>P = 495.9 W</u>

<u></u>

d)

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

<u>c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.</u>

A steel wire of length 1.5 m and diameter 1 mm is joined to an aluminum wire of identical dimensions to make a composite wire of
Anarel [89]

Answer:

1.805 mm

Explanation:

Extension in the steel wire = WL_{steel}/AE_{steel}

Extension in the aluminium wire = WL_{Al}/AE_{Al}

Total extension = W/A * (L_{steel}/E_{steel} + L_{Al}/E_{Al})

we have:

W = mg

W = 5 × 9.8

W = 49 N

Area A = π/4 × (0.001)²

= 7.85398 × 10 ⁻⁷ m²

Total extension = W/A * (L_{steel}/E_{steel} + L_{Al}/E_{Al})

Total extension = 49/ 7.85398 × 10 ⁻⁷ ( (1.5/ 200×10⁹) + 1.5/ 70×10⁹))

Total extension =  0.0018048

Total extension = 1.805 mm

Thus, the total extension = the resulting change in the length of this composite wire = 1.805 mm

10 The magnitude J of the current density in a certain lab wire with a circular cross section of radius R = 2.00 mm is given by
rewona [7]

Answer:

I = 0.002593 A = 2.593 mA

Explanation:

Current density = J = (3.00 × 10⁸)r² = Br²

B = (3.00 × 10⁸) (for ease of calculations)

The current through outer section is given by

I = ∫ J dA

The elemental Area for the wire,

dA = 2πr dr

I = ∫ Br² (2πr dr)

I = ∫ 2Bπ r³ dr

I = 2Bπ ∫ r³ dr

I = 2Bπ [r⁴/4] (evaluating this integral from r = 0.900R to r = R]

I = (Bπ/2) [R⁴ - (0.9R)⁴]

I = (Bπ/2) [R⁴ - 0.6561R⁴]

I = (Bπ/2) (0.3439R⁴)

I = (Bπ) (0.17195R⁴)

Recall B = (3.00 × 10⁸)

R = 2.00 mm = 0.002 m

I = (3.00 × 10⁸ × π) [0.17195 × (0.002⁴)]

I = 0.0025929449 A = 0.002593 A = 2.593 mA

Hope this Helps!!!
