What is nuclear energy

Physics

Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant.

3. When a person is outside of the system and they add energy to the
NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).

An inductor is connected to the terminals of a battery that has an emf of 16.0 V and negligible internal resistance. The current
balu736 [363]

Answer:

(a) The resistance R of the inductor is 2480.62 Ω

(b) The inductance L of the inductor is 1.67 H

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the battery, V = 16.0 V

current at 0.940 ms = 4.86 mA

after a long time, the current becomes 6.45 mA = maximum current

Part (a) The resistance R of the inductor

R = \frac{V}{I_{max}} = \frac{16}{6.45*10^{-3}} = 2480.62 \ ohms

Part (b)  the inductance L of the inductor

\frac{Rt}{L} = -ln(1-\frac{I}I_{max}})\\\\L = \frac{Rt}{-ln(1-\frac{I}I_{max})}}

where;

L is the inductance

R is the resistance of the inductor

t is time

L = \frac{Rt}{-ln(1-\frac{I}I_{max})}} = \frac{2480.62*0.94*10^{-3}}{-ln(1-\frac{4.86}{6.45})} \\\\L =\frac{2.3318}{1.4004} = 1.67 \ H

Therefore, the inductance is 1.67 H
