Answer:

I=0.047A

Explanation:

Let's use Ohm's law:

V=IR  

or

I=\frac{V}{R}   (1)

Where:

V=Voltage\\I=Current\\R=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}Resistance

We know the value of the voltage V, so we need to find the value of R in order to find I. Fortunately there is a relation between the resistivity of a conductor and its electrical resistance given by:

R=\rho*\frac{l}{A}    (2)

Where:

R=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}Resistance\\l=Length\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}conductor=80m\\A=Cross\hspace{2 mm}sectional\hspace{2 mm}area\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}conductor=1.256637061*10^{-7} \\\rho=Electrical\hspace{2 mm}resistivity\hspace{2 mm}of\hspace{2 mm}the\hspace{2 mm}material=2.35*10^{-8}

Keep in mind that the electrical resistivity of the gold is a known constant which is \rho_g_o_l_d=2.35*10^{-8} and the cross sectional area of the conductor is calculated as:

A=\pi *(r^{2})=\pi  *(0.0002m)^{2} =1.256637061*10^{-7} m^{2}

Because we have a wire in this case, so we assume a cylindrical geometry.

Now replacing our data in (2)

R=(2.35*10^{-8})*\frac{80}{1.256637061*10^{-7} }  =14.96056465\Omega

Finally, we know R and V, so replacing these values in (1) we will be able to find the current:

I=\frac{0.7}{14.96056465}\approx0.047A

One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 10-3 m3) covers an area of 17.8 m2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint on the wall?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

0.2129 mm

Explanation:

We have given volume of the paint = 1 gallon=3.79\times 10^{-3}m^3

Area that covers the paint =17.8 m^2

We have to find the thickness of the fresh paint

So thickness=\frac{volume}{area}=\frac{3.79\times 10^{-3}}{17.8}=0.2129\times 10^{-3}m=0.2129mm

So the thickness of fresh paint on the wall is 0.2129 mm

A line from the Brackett series of hydrogen has a wavelength of 1945nm (or 1.0979x10^7m). From which state did the electron orig
Zarrin [17]
We use the Rydberg Equation for this which is expressed as:

<span>1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
</span>
where lambda is the wavelength, where n represents the final and initial states. Brackett series means that the initial orbit that electron was there is 4 and R is equal to 1.0979x10^7m<span>. Thus,
</span>
1/ lambda = R [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(n1)^2]
1/1.0979x10^7m = 1.0979x10^7m [ 1/(n2)^2 - 1/(4)^2]

Solving for n2, we obtain n=1.
