Explain how power is determined within the context of electricity/circuitry.

1 answer:

8 0

In the context of electricity the equation for power would be as follows:

V*I=W
The V stands for voltage. The I stands for current. The W stands for power.
The reason why power is symbolized by "W" is because it was named after James Watts.

(6 points) A cylinder has a radius of 12 mm and a length of 2.5 m. It is made of steel with a thermal conductivity of LaTeX: 53.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

2.46 W

Explanation:

Thermal conductivity k = 53.4 W/m-K

Radius r = 12 mm = 12x10^-3 m

Lenght = 2.5 m

T1 = 361 °C

T2 = 105 ∘C

Area A = ¶r^2 = 3.142 x (12x10^-3)^2

= 0.00045 m^2

Power P = -AkdT/dx

Where dT = 361 - 105 = 256

dx = lenght of heat travel = 2.5 m

P = -0.00045 X 53.4 X (256/2.5)

= -0.024 X 102.4 = -2.46 W

The negative sign indicates that heat is lost from the metal.

Answer:

The strength of the magnetic field is $75.6\ \mu T$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the rod, L = 1.01 m

Speed with which the rod is moving, v = 3.47 m/s

We need to find the strength of the magnetic field that is perpendicular to both the rod and your direction of motion and that induces an EMF of 0.265 mV across the rod. When the rod is moving with some speed, an emf gets induced and it is given by :

$\epsilon=Blv$
