A concave mirror is used in the design of solar furnaces because they converge the parallel sunrays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace.
For a given closed circuit the current voltage and resistance of circuit is related with ohm's law

here
V = voltage difference due to battery
i = current flow in the circuit
R = resistance
so from above equation

so in order to decrease the current in the circuit we can either increase the resistance of the circuit or decrease the voltage
Now the formula of resistance is

here
= resistivity of material of resistance

A = crossectional area
a) if we use a thick wire the as per above formula of resistance the value of resistance will decrease.
And hence the current will increase in the circuit so it is not correct option
b) If 6V battery is replaced by 12 V battery then due to increase in potential difference the current in the circuit will also increase, so this is not correct answer.
c)Opening the switch will decrease the voltage from 6 V to 0 Volt
due to this decrease in potential difference the current in the circuit will also decrease. So by Opening the switch the current will be decreased in this circuit.
Answer:
A mercury barometer has a glass tube that is closed at the top and open at the bottom.At the bottom of the tube is a pool of mercury.The mercury sits in a circular,shallow dish surrounding the tube.The mercury in the tube will adjust itself to match the atmospheric pressure above the dish.
hope this helps you
Answer: 0.625N
Explanation:
Given the following:
Magnetic field Force = 0.25N
Length of wire = 8cm
Current = 3.0 ampere
The force that the same field will exert on another wire 20cm long carrying the same current will be :
Since current 'I' is the same ;
0.25 Force = 8cm
x force = 20cm
Cross multiply:
8x = (20 × 0.25)
x = (20 × 0.25) / 8
x = 5 / 8
x = 0.625
Force = 0.625N
