Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.

Physics

Gennadij [26K]2 years ago

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

Is kirchoff's law applicable for ac circuits?
SIZIF [17.4K]
<span>Kirchhoff's laws apply to AC circuits to either two cases: instantaneousneous values of currents and voltages or to complex values of currents and voltages. However, this never applies to: rms values of currents and voltages. Kirchoff's law relates to the current, voltage and resistance to multiple nodes</span>

Based on Archimedes' principle, the greatest buoyant force an object can experience in water is determined by which quantity?
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

B. The object's volume

Explanation:

When an object is immersed in a fluid, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The magnitude of the buoyant force is given by:

B=\rho_f V_{disp} g

where

\rho_f is the density of the fluid in which the object is immersed

V_{disp} is the volume of the fluid displaced by the object

g is the acceleration due to gravity

When the object is totally immersed in the fluid, V_{disp} corresponds to the volume of the object; when the object is only partially immersed, V_{disp} corresponds only to the volume of the part of the object immersed.

From the formula, we see that the greatest buoyant force is experienced by the object when it is fully immersed. Moreover, we see that the buoyant force depends only on one property of the object: its volume. Therefore, the correct choice is

B. The object's volume

The wavelength of the yellow light from a sodium flame is 589 nm. This light originated from a sodium atom in the hot flame.
DiKsa [7]

From wave speed formula, period is 1.96 × 10^-15  seconds per cycle and the frequency is 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

<h3>What is Frequency ?</h3>

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete revolution per second made by a vibrating body.

Given that the wavelength of the yellow light from a sodium flame is 589 nm. This light originated from a sodium atom in the hot flame.

(a) In the sodium atom from which this light originated, the period of the simple harmonic motion which was the source of this electromagnetic wave will be found by using the formula

v = λ/T

Where

  • v = speed of light = 300,000,000 m/s
  • λ = wavelength = 589 × 10^-9 m
  • T = period

Substitute all the parameters

300000000 = 589 × 10^-9/T

T = 589 × 10^-9/300000000

T = 1.96 × 10^-15  seconds per cycle.

(b) The frequency of this light wave is the reciprocal of its period. That is,

F = 1/T

F = 1/1.96 × 10^-15

F = 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz

Therefore, the period of the wave is 1.96 × 10^-15  seconds per cycle and its frequency is 5.1 × 10^14 Hertz
