Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which heat or energy is released is known as an exothermic reaction.

On the other hand, when two objects are placed together and heat flows from hotter object to colder object then this process is known as conduction. Therefore, energy is dissipated in conduction process.

Since energy released released goes into the atmosphere and is not used anywhere.

Thus, we can conclude that when an exothermic reaction releases thermal energy, this energy is usually not useable to do work and it is dissipated by conduction.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

Electric force, $F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric charge 1, $q_1=+40\ C$

Electric charge 2, $q_2=-40\ C$

Distance, $d=2\ km=2\times 10^3\ m$

To find,

The electric force between these two sets of charges.

Solution,

There exists a force between two electric charges and this force is called electrostatic force. It is equal to the product of electric charged divided by square of distance between them.

$F=k\dfrac{q_1q_2}{d^2}$

k is the electrostatic constant

$F=8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{40\times (-40)}{(2\times 10^3)^2}$

$F=-3.59\times 10^6\ N$

So, the electric force between these two sets of charges is $-3.59\times 10^6\ N$ .

A transformer has 1000 turns in the primary coil and 100 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary coil is connected to a 120

alexdok [17]

Answer:

12 V, 0.5 A

Explanation:

For the Voltage,

Using,

Vs/Vp = Ns/Np.......................... Equation 1

Where Vs = Voltage in the secondary coil, Vp = Voltage in the primary coil, Ns = number of turn in the secondary coil, Np = number of turns in the primary coil.

Make Vs the subject of the equation

Vs = Vp(Ns/Np)........................ Equation 2

Given: Vp = 120 v, Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns

Substitute into equation 2

Vs = 120(100/1000)

Vs = 120×0.1

Vs = 12 v

For the current,

Using

Ns/Np = Ip/Is....................... Equation 3

Where Ip = current in the primary coil, Is = current in the secondary coil

make Is the subject of the equation

Is = Ip(Np/Ns).................. Equation 4

Given: Np = 1000 turns, Ns = 100 turns, Ip = 0.05 A

Substitute into equation 4

Is = 0.05(1000/100)

Is = 0.05×10

Is = 0.5 A.

Hence the voltage and the current in the secondary coil is 12 V, 0.5 A
