The waste products of a nuclear fission power plant can best be described as radioactive waste.
These are the by-products from the processes carried out that produce nuclear energy. This type of waste is highly dangerous. A lot of attention has to be paid to the collection and disposal of this waste as it must not reach any near by water bodies for example. It can be deadly for life.
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
The average resistivity of the human body (apart from surface resistance of the skin) is about 5.0 Ωm. The conducting path between the right and left hands can be approximated as cylinder 1.6 m long and 0.10 m in diameter. The skin resistance can be made negligible by soaking the hands in salt water. (a) What is the resistance between the hands if the skin resistance is negligible? (b) if skin resistance is negligible, what potential difference between the hands is needed for lethal shock current 100 mA?
Solution:
The resistance (R) of a material is given by the formula:
R = ρL / A
where L is the length of the conductor, ρ is resistivity and A is the cross sectional area.
a) R = ρL / A
ρ = 5.0 Ωm, L = 1.6 m, A = π(diameter²) / 4 = π(0.1²)/4 = 0.00785 m²
R = 5(1.6) / 0.00785 = 1018.6 ohm
b) To produce 100 mA, we need to use ohms law:
I = 100 mA = 0.1 A, R = 1018.6 ohm
V = IR = 0.1(1018.6)
V = 101.86 V
Answer:
a. Exactly the same as the magnitude of the charge of the proton.
Explanation:
The elementary charge (e) is the smallest electric charge that can exist in the universe. Any positive or negative electric charge can be expressed as a multiple of the elementary charge, since is the electric charge carried by a single proton or, equivalently, the magnitude of the electric charge carried by a single electron (-1e).
