Explain the following defects of a simple electric cell:

Physics
1 answer:
eimsori [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The two major defects of simple electric cells causes current supplied to be for short time. These defects are: polarization and local action.

a. Polarization: This is a defect caused by an accumulation of hydrogen bubbles at the positive electrode of the cell. It can be prevented by the use of vent, using a hydrogen absorbing material or the use of a depolarizer.

b. Local Action: This is the gradual wearing away of the electrode due to impurities in the zinc plate. It can be controlled by the amalgamation of the zinc plate before it is used.

Two inductors, L1 and L2, are in parallel. L1 has a value of 25 mH and L2 a value of 50 mH. The parallel combination is in serie
Bond [772]

Answer:

Explanation:

For parallel inductors ,

\frac{1}{L_R} = \frac{1}{L_1} +\frac{1}{L_2}

\frac{1}{L_R} =\frac{1}{25} +\frac{1}{50}

L_R=16.67 mH.

For series combination

Total inductance

= 16.67 + 20

= 36.67 mH .

reactance of total inductance at 300 kHz

= ωL_{total} where ω is angular frequency

= 2πfL_{total}

= 2 x 3.14 x 300 x 10³ x 36.67 x 10⁻³

= 69.1 x 10³ ohm

Total rms current = Vrms / reactance

= 60 / 69.1 x 10³ A

= .87 x 10⁻³ A

= .87 mA

The Cartesian coordinate of a point in the xy plane are (x,y)=(-3.50,-2.50)m. Find the poler coordinate of this point
Masja [62]

Answer:

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

Explanation:

Given a point in rectangular form, that is P(x,y) = (x,y), its polar form is defined by:

P(x,y) = (r,\theta) (1)

Where:

r - Norm, measured in meters.

\theta - Direction, measured in sexagesimal degrees.

The norm of the point is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:

r = \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}} (2)

And direction is calculated by following trigonometric relation:

\theta = \tan^{-1} \frac{y}{x} (3)

If we know that x = -3.50\,m and y = -2.50\,m, then the components of coordinates in polar form is:

r = \sqrt{(-3.50\,m)^{2}+(-2.50\,m)^{2}}

r \approx 4.301\,m

Since x < 0\,m and y < 0\,m, direction is located at 3rd Quadrant. Given that tangent function has a period of 180º, we find direction by using this formula:

\theta = 180^{\circ}+\tan^{-1} \left(\frac{-2.50\,m}{-3.50\,m} \right)

\theta \approx 215.538^{\circ}

The polar coordinate of P(x,y) = (-3.50\,m,-2.50\,m) is P (r,\theta) = (4.301\,m, 215.538^{\circ}).

A friend in your class tells you that she never uses hints when doing her Mastering homework. She says that she finds the hints
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

A, B, and C are good reasons for my friend not to worry

Explanation:

The following reasons are reason not to worry

A. The only way to lose additional partial credit on a hint is by using the "give up" button or entering incorrect answers. Leaving the question blank will not cost you any credit (Regardless of whether you open a link or not, you will lose credit if you enter a wrong answer or if you give up on a question by hitting the "give up" button. Even after opening a hint, you can leave the question blank if the hint does not provide relevant hints or if the hint brings up more question. Once the question is left blank, you do not lose additional partial credit)

B. As an incentive for thinking hard about the problem, your instructor may choose to apply a small hint penalty, but this penalty is the same whether the hint simply gives information or asks another question (In a situation where you decide to use a hint, the instructor may have put a penalty for using the hint, so whether it asks a question or help in the solution of the question, as long as the hint is consulted, the hint penalty still applies)

C. Getting the correct answer to the question in a hint actually gives you some partial credit, even if you still can't answer the original question (An advantage of using hint is that you get some partial credit for using it if you answer the hint question correctly and fails to answer the original question)
