The heat energy which has to be supplied to change the state of a substance is called its latent heat. Latent heat does not increase the kinetic energy of the particles of the substance, so the temperature of a substance does not rise during the change of state. :))

A bag containing 0ºC ice is much more effective in absorbing energy than one containing the same amount of 0ºC water.
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

No temperature change occurs from heat transfer if ice melts and becomes liquid water (i.e., during a phase change). For example, consider water dripping from icicles melting on a roof warmed by the Sun. Conversely, water freezes in an ice tray cooled by lower-temperature surroundings.

Explanation:

Energy is required to melt a solid because the cohesive bonds between the molecules in the solid must be broken apart such that, in the liquid, the molecules can move around at comparable kinetic energies; thus, there is no rise in temperature. Similarly, energy is needed to vaporize a liquid, because molecules in a liquid interact with each other via attractive forces. There is no temperature change until a phase change is complete. The temperature of a cup of soda initially at 0ºC stays at 0ºC until all the ice has melted. Conversely, energy is released during freezing and condensation, usually in the form of thermal energy. Work is done by cohesive forces when molecules are brought together. The corresponding energy must be given off (dissipated) to allow them to stay together Figure 2.

The energy involved in a phase change depends on two major factors: the number and strength of bonds or force pairs. The number of bonds is proportional to the number of molecules and thus to the mass of the sample. The strength of forces depends on the type of molecules. The heat Q required to change the phase of a sample of mass m is given by

Q = mLf (melting/freezing,

Q = mLv (vaporization/condensation),

where the latent heat of fusion, Lf, and latent heat of vaporization, Lv, are material constants that are determined experimentally.

the electric current in a wire is 1.5 A. How many electrons flow past a given point in a time of 2 s?​
34kurt

Answer:

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

Explanation:

An electric current (I) is the ratio of the quantity of charges (Q) that flows through a point to the time taken (t).

i.e            I = \frac{Q}{t}

It is measured in Ampere's by the use of an ammeter in the laboratory. The quantity of charge that flow through a given point is measured in Coulombs, while time is measured in seconds.

Given that;     I = 1.5A and t = 2s, find Q.

                          Q = It

                             = 1.5 × 2

                             = 3.0 C

The quantity of electrons that flows past a given point is 3.0 C.

Two long parallel wires are separated by 6.0 mm. The current in one of the wires is twice the other current. If the magnitude of
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Magnitude of force per unit length of wire on each of wires

= μ₀ x 2 i₁ x i₂ / 4π r    where i₁ and i₂ are current in the two wires , r is distance between the two and  μ₀ is permeability .

Putting the values ,

force per unit length = 10⁻⁷ x 2 x i x 2i / ( 6 x 10⁻³ )

= .67 i² x 10⁻⁴

force on 3 m length

= 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

Given ,

8 x 10⁻⁶ = 3 x .67 x 10⁻⁴ i²

i²  = 3.98 x 10⁻²

i = 1.995 x 10⁻¹

= .1995

=  0.2 A approx .

2 i = .4 A Ans .
