Please answer !!!A company wants to install a sensor to monitor the light level in the offices of their buildings. The sensor co

ntains an LDR which has a resistance of 10kohlms in daylight and 100kohlms in the dark . The choice of resistor in the circuit is between one of 25kohlms and 1 megaohlm. The input p.d to the sensing circuit of 12 v . State and explain which resistor is the best choice for the circuit in light and dark which each of the resistors .

Answer:

Explanation:

The sensor contains an LDR which has a resistance of 10kohlms in daylight and 100kohlms in the dark.

If the resistor in the circuit is 1 megaohlm, the total resistance in daylight and darkness will be 1.01 megaohms and 1.1 megaohlms.

The percentage difference = (1.1-1.01)/1.1*100% = 8.18%

If the resistor in the circuit is 25 kohlm, the total resistance in daylight and darkness will be 35 kohms and 125 kohlms.

The percentage difference = (125-35)/125*100% = 72%

With the input p.d to the sensing circuit fixed at 12 v, the sensing current will change according to the total resistance. A 72% difference is much more detectable. So the 25 kohm resistor is the better choice.

Answer:

Explanation:

V=IR

I=12/(R of resistor + R of LDR)

R of LDR = 10kohm in light and = 100kohm in dark

R1 =  25kohm

R2 = 1Mohm

solve 4 current

                       light                                       dark

R1        12/(25+10)=0.343mA          12/(25+100)=0.096mA

R2       12/(1000+10)=0.012mA       12/(1000+100)=0.011mA

so R1 is better as its easier 2 tell its light or dark

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED.<br>what is an alloy?​
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.

How large is the Milky Way Galaxy? A. It is the largest galaxy ever observed. B. It takes up over half of the known universe. C.
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

D. It is very small when compared to the universe

Explanation:

The Milky Way can be regarded galaxy which has Solar System in it. Milky way gives the description of appearance of galaxy from Earth, it is a hazy band of light that's been formed from the stars which can be visualized in the sky during the night, though it cannot be sorted by mere human eyes. Milky Way has existed for about 13.51 billion years with the radius of 52,850 light years. the Number of stars in milky way is about 100-400 billion. It should be noted that themilky way galaxy is a very large galaxy but It is very small when compared to the universe
