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.

Magnitude of acceleration

Explanation:

We know that acceleration can increase depending in the force applied on an object, any object with a greater mass will apply a greater force. F = M(a).

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0

1. What is the formula for the period of a pendulum and what is the main determining factor in its period?
Brut [27]

Answer:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

Explanation:

A simple pendulum is a system consisting of a mass attached to a string, and oscillating in a periodic motion, back and forth, along an equilibrium position.

The period of a pendulum is the time it takes for the pendulum to complete one oscillation.

The period of a pendulum is given by the equation

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}

where

L is the length of the pendulum

g is the acceleration due to gravity

From the formula, we see that the period of a pendulum does not depend on the mass.

Therefore, the only 2 factors affecting the period of a pendulum are:

- The length of the pendulum: the longer it is, the longer the period of oscillation

- The acceleration due to gravity: the greater it is, the shorter the period of the pendulum
