Answer:

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 12 ohms

Explanation:

Given:

Voltage in pencil sharpener = 6 volts

Current in pencil sharpener = 0.5 amps

Find:

Resistance in pencil sharpener

Computation:

Resistance = Voltage / Current

Resistance in pencil sharpener = Voltage in pencil sharpener / Current in pencil sharpener

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 6 / 0.5

Resistance in pencil sharpener = 12 ohms

Which of these would not contribute to a global increase in temperature?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

planting trees - increasing the amount of animal life on earth

Explanation:

from all the other options given, all except planting trees will increase global temperature.

1. deforestation: this removes vegetative cover and the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere.

2. increasing the use of gasoline burning vehicles: burning gasoline produces carbon dioxide which is a green house gas which traps heat in the atmosphere and causes global warming

3. increasing the industrial release of carbon dioxide: carbon dioxide is released when gasoline is burned in industries, this in-turn causes global warming.

Trees produces oxygen and sucks in carbon dioxide which causes global warming. more trees mean more oxygen and less carbon dioxide which translates to less global increase in temperature

Starting from zero, the electric current takes 2 seconds to reach half its maximum possible value in an RL circuit with a resist

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

time=4s

Explanation:

we know that in a RL circuit with a resistance R, an inductance L and a battery of emf E, the current (i) will vary in following fashion

$i(t)=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$ , where $i$ max= $\frac{E}{R}$

Given that, at i(2)= $\frac{imax}{2} =\frac{E}{2R}$

⇒ $\frac{E}{2R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}})$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}=1-e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{2}=e^\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒ $log(\frac{1}{2})=\frac{-2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $log(2)=\frac{2}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}$

Now substitute $i(t)=\frac{3}{4}imax=\frac{3E}{4R}$

⇒ $\frac{3E}{4R}=\frac{E}{R}(1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}})$

⇒ $\frac{3}{4}=1-e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{4}=e^\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

Applying logarithm on both sides,

⇒ $log(\frac{1}{4})=\frac{-t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $log(4)=\frac{t}{\frac{L}{R}}$

⇒ $t=log4\frac{L}{R}$

now subs. $\frac{L}{R}=\frac{2}{log2}$

⇒ $t=log4\frac{2}{log2}$

also $log4=log2^{2}=2log2$

⇒ $t=2log2\frac{2}{log2}$

⇒ $t=4$

agasfer [191]

Lighting flows around the outside of a truck, and the majority of the current flows from the cars metal cage into the ground below. It's not very safe to be in a car or truck during bad weather.
