Prove p=f/a science chapter pressure​

Physics
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Let 'F' be force acting perpendicularly, 'A' be the area and 'P' be the pressure exerted.

Then,

Pressure is directly proportional to the the force acting perpendicularly i.e.

P ∝ F ............. (i)

Pressure is inversely proportional to the area on which force acts i.e.

P ∝ 1/A ........... (ii)

Combining equations (i) and (ii),

P ∝ F/A

or, P = K × F/A [where K is a constant]

If F is 1N, A is 1m² and P is 1 N/m², then K is 1.

So, P = F/A proved...

Why is it that the two possible faults with inductors are short circuit and open circuit?
lukranit [14]
These are the most common type of faults not just inductors but also with other elements too like resistors,transformers, generators etc.
open circuit fault means the flow of current is disrupted some how in the circuit and the circuit stops operating. and for short circuit fault the current in the system will be pretty high and this short circuit current or fault current will always run back to the fault location, if the inductor got short circuited somehow then the fault current will only run through it because it will then provide a very low impedence path
