If temp. gets cold resistance in thermostat increases so voltage across it increases AND LED lights brighter. I understand every

thing except that for LED. It emits light when current passes through it, but if resistance increases how can current increase???​

Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller.  This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.

The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor.  It's a "thermistor".  The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor.  These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder.  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.

When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change.  Either way, the voltage across B increases.  Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.

This circuit could actually be a very useful device.  If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.

A circular loop of wire having a radius of 5.58 cm carries a current of 0.230 A. A vector of unit length and parallel to the dip
Sidana [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

Given quantities:

radius = r = 0.0558 [m]

current = I = 0.23 [A]

\vec{B} =

Now we solve this by obtaining the torque acting on the dipole

\tau = M \times B

We obtain the magnetic moment vector M, first, |M| is defined as M = IA, where A is the cross-section area of the loop which is A = \pi r^2=\pi (0.0558)^2= 0.00978 [m^2] then

|M| = 0.23*0.00978 = 0.00225 [A/m^2]

now the magnetic moment vector is equal to the magnetic dipole moment vector multiplied the magnitude we just obtained  \vec{M} = M \hat M

= 0.00225 *

Now:

a ) \tau = M \times B

b) U = -M \cdot B

a) the determinant gives us:

b) the dot product gives = -1*-7.2*10^{-6} = 7.2*10^{-6}[J]

A net force of 2070N acts on a car with a mass of 1350 kg. What is the acceleration of the car?
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

To find the acceleration of the car, we can use this formula :

     acceleration = net force / mass

     acceleration = 2070 N / 1350 kg

     acceleration = 1.53333 m/s^2

     acceleration = 1.53 m/s^2

Hope this helps!

As you watch the video, notice that the size of the tidal bulges varies with the Moon's phase, which depends on its orbital posi
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Both

A. Low tides are lowest at both full moon and new moon.

B. High tides are highest at both full moon and new moon.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variate with the distance:

F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}}  (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, see the image below, point A is closer to the moon than point b and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

On the other hand, a full moon it gets when Sun, the Earth and the moon are in a line and the moon is reflecting the sunlight.

When the Moon is between the Earth and the Sun it will be illuminated in its back, so it is not possible to see it from the Earth (that is called new moon).

In those two cases mentioned above, the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the moon over the earth making high tides higher and low tides lower.
