Answer:

The option is not there.

Explanation:

Given:

Before melting:

Radius, r

Length, l

Resistance, R

Resistivity, p

After melting:

Length, l2 = 1/2 × l

Using the resistivity relation,

p × l = R × A

Where A = area

Since only the length of the conductor changed, volume also will be affected.

Volume, V = area × l

Area, A2 = V/(1/2l)

= 2 × V/l

(R × A)/l = (R2 × A2)/(l/2)

(R × V/l)/l = (R2 × 2 × V/l)/(l/2)

(R × V)/l^2 = 4 × (R2 × V)/l^2

R = 4 × R2

R2 = R/4

Where

R2 = resistance of the new conductor

Answer:

b) R/4 (There seems to an error in mentioning the multiple choices of this question, please see below explanation of correct calculations for this  question.)

Explanation:

dimension of the conductor before melting is l, r

reistivity is p

R=(p*l)/(pie*r2)

after reforming length is reduced to L=l/4

volume in both the cases will be same

i.e. pie * r^2 * l =pie * R^2 * L

r^2 * l = R^2 * (1/2)l

due to this radius will become R=sqrt(2) * r

now new reistance is given by Rx=(p * L)/(pie * R^2)

i.e. Rx=(p * l/2)/(pie * r^2 * 2)

after simplification RX=((p * l)/(pie * r^2))/4

i.e. Rx=R/4

babymother [125]

Answer:

  C.  98 J

Explanation:

The appropriate formula is ...

  PE = mgh . . . . . m is mass; below, m is meters

  PE = (5 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2 m) = 98 kg·m^2/s^2

  PE = 98 J

Tina has been dieting for a total of 13 weeks she lost 3 lb on the first week of her diet but gain the back of pound on the seco
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

D. 24 lb

Explanation:

Tina has been dieting for 13 weeks

First week she lost 3 pounds

Next week she gained 1 pound and did not lose any. This will be subtracted as she has gained a pound

The remaining 11 weeks she lost 2 pounds per week

Weight lost in the 11 weeks = 11×2 =22 pounds

Total weight lost

3-1+22 = 24 lb

Tina has lost 24 pounds in total during the 13 weeks

How much work is done (by a battery, generator, or some other source of potential difference) in moving Avogadro's number of ele
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

W = 1.5 x 10⁶ J = 1.5 MJ

Explanation:

First, we calculate the potential difference between the given 2 points. So, we have:

V₁ = Electric Potential at Initial Position = 6.7 V

V₂ = Electric Potential at Final Position = - 8.9 V

Therefore,

ΔV = Potential Difference = V₂ - V₁ = -8.9 V - 6.7 V = - 15.6 V

Since, we use magnitude in calculation only. Therefore,

ΔV = 15.6 V

Now, we calculate total charge:

Total Charge = q = (No. of Electrons)(Charge on 1 Electron)

where,

No. of Electrons = Avagadro's No. = 6.022 x 10²³

Charge on 1 electron = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

Therefore,

q = (6.022 x 10²³)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C)

q = 96352 C

Now, from the definition of potential difference, we know that it is equal to the worked done on a unit charge moving it between the two points of different potentials:

ΔV = W/q

W = (ΔV )(q)

where,

W = work done = ?

W = (15.6 V)(96352 C)

<u>W = 1.5 x 10⁶ J = 1.5 MJ</u>
