A 1-meter-long wire consists of an inner copper core with a radius of 1.0 mm and an outer aluminum sheathe, which is 1.0 mm thic
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The total resistance of the wire is = 1.917\times10^{-3}

Explanation:

Since the wires will both be in contact with the voltage source at the same time and the current flows along in their length-wise direction, the two wires will be considered to be in parallel.

Hence, for resistances in parallel, the total resistance, R_{Total}

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{R_{cu}  }+\frac{1}{R_{al}}

Parameters given:

Length of wire = 1 m

Cross sectional area of copper A_{cu}= \pi r^{2}= \pi \times (1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2} =3.142\times10^{-6} m^{2}

Cross sectional area of aluminium wire  

A_{al}= \pi( R^{2}-r^{2})\\\\ = \pi \times [ (2\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}-(1\times 10^{-3}  )^{2}] =9.42\times10^{-6} m^{2}\\

Resistivity of copper \rho _{cu}=1.7\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistivity of Aluminium \rho _{al}=2.8\times 10^{-8}  \Omega .m

Resistance of copper R_{cu}= \frac{\rho_{cu} \times l}{A_{cu} }  =\frac{1.7\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{3.142\times10^{-6} } =5.41\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Resistance of aluminium R_{al}= \frac{\rho_{al} \times l}{A_{al} }  =\frac{2.8\times 10^{-8} \times 1}{9.42\times10^{-6} } =2.97\times 10^{-3}\Omega

The total resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows;

\frac{1}{R_{Total}}  =\frac{1}{5.41\times10^{-3}  }+\frac{1}{2.97\times10^{-3}}=521.52\frac{1}{\Omega}

R_{Total}= 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

∴ The total resistance of the wire = 1.917\times 10^{-3}\Omega

Compare and contrast electric motors and generators.
Marrrta [24]
Electric motors require electricity to move the motor parts and do work (like an electric fan).

Elecgric generators actually burn diesel fuel to spin a motor around and around and around to GENERATE, or MAKE, electricity that you can then use to power your fans and lights in your house.

How many joules of heat must be transferred to a 410-g aluminum pizza pan to raise its temperature from 32oC to 232oC? The speci
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

recall that heat absorbed released is given by

Q = mc*(T2 - T1)

where

m = mass (in g)

c = specific heat capacity (in J/g-k)

T = temperature (in C or K)

*note: Q is (+) when heat is absorbed and (-) when heat is released.

substituting,

Q = (480)*(0.97)*(234 - 22)

Q = 98707 J = 98.7 kJ
