What are the disadvantages of using alcohol instead of mercury in a thermometer ?​

Physics

vichka [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

alcohol thermometers are used rather than Mercury thermometers in very cold regions because alcohol has a lower freezing point than Mercury.

Two parallel wires separated by a distance of 0.6 m each carry current in the same direction. One wire is carrying a current of
mart [117]

Answer:

The value is  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of separation is  d = 0.6 \  m

  The current on the one wire is I_1 =  9 \  A

  The current on the second wire is I_2 =  4 \ A

Generally the magnitude of the field exerted between the current carrying wire is

        B  =  B_1 - B_2

Here B_1 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_1 = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}

Here d_1 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_1 =  0.3 \  m

B_2 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_2  = \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

Here d_2 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_2 =  0.3 \  m  

This means that d_1 = d_2 = a =  0.3

So

     B =  \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}  -  \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

=>  B =  \frac{\mu_o * (I_1 - I_2)}{2 \pi *0.3 }

=>  B =  \frac{  4\pi * 10^{-7}  * (9- 4)}{2 * 3.142  *0.3 }

=>  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

Gasoline burns in the cylinder of an automobile engine. During the combustion reaction, the production of gas forces the piston
serg [7]

Answer:

\Delta U = 1640 J

Explanation:

As we know by first law of thermodynamics that for ideal gas system we have

Heat given = change in internal energy + Work done

so here we will have

Heat given to the system = 2.2 kJ

Q = 2200 J

also we know that work done by the system is given as

W = 560 J

so we have

\Delta U = Q - W

\Delta U = 2200 - 560

\Delta U = 1640 J

Explain how the fixed points are used when calibrating a thermometer. ​
8090 [49]

<u>Answer:</u>

First, the thermometer is dipped into boiling water, and the mercury inside the thermometer rises to a high level, called the boiling point. This level is then marked as 100°C. The thermometer is then dipped into melting ice, which causes the mercury level to fall to a point called the ice point. This point is then marked as 0°C. The length of the thermometer from the 0°C mark to the 100°C point is then divided into 100 equal sections, and the rest of the levels are marked accordingly.
