The anomalous expansion of water refers to the fact that water, unlike most substances, expands when it freezes. The density of water increases as temperature decreases but reaches a maximum at 4° C then begins to expand.

When liquid water is cooled, it contracts like one would expect until a temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius is reached. After that, it expands slightly until it reaches the freezing point, and then when it freezes it expands by approximately 9%.

Answer:

R= 20 ohm

Explanation:

Given that

Current ,I = 6 A

Voltage difference ,ΔV = 120 V

Lets take resistance of the stem iron = R

We know that ,the relationship between current ,voltage difference and resistance is given as

ΔV = I R

$R=\dfrac{\Delta V}{I}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$R=\dfrac{120}{6}\ ohm$

R= 20 ohm

Therefore the resistance of the steam will be 20 ohm.

How can we magnetise a piece of iron.

liq [111]

Place the magnet at one end of the piece of metal. The magnet must make as much contact with the metal as possible. Place light pressure on the magnet and rub the metal in one direction only. Magnetization will take some time to accomplish so continue rubbing until the iron or steel attracts other pieces of metal.

diamong [38]

Answer:

Enamel is used to coat the wires, it is the thinnest possible insulator. The coils are made up of large number of turns and enamel makes it possible to cram a lot of wires (coils) in much smaller space.
