what factors limit the accuracy of a potentiometer and what was the objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​

Physics
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

<em>"The accuracy of a potentiometer can be increased by decreasing the potential gradient across the potentiometer wire, and this can be achieved by increasing the length"</em>

<em />

<u>The factors that are affecting/limiting the accuracy of the potentiometer are: </u>

  1. The specific resistance of the material of the potentiometer wire.
  2. The potential gradient
  3. The current passing through the potentiometer wire.
  4. Area of a cross-section of the wire
  5. Internal temperature.

     

<u>The objective of reversing the terminals of the cell​</u>

If the jockey of the potentiometer is pressed for a long time, joule heating sets in, so that reversing the terminals of the potentiometer will prevent the resistance due to joule heat from being added to the measured resistance, ultimately preventing unwanted resistance

Explain your observation in terms of force and Newtons 3rd law
Simora [160]

Answer:

If an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B must exert a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction back on object A

Explanation:

the law of force show that focuses will always come in 2 or pairs and it also says that one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force itself.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

The mass of an atom is ________________________.
alexandr402 [8]
The mass of an atom comes from the protons and neutrons that is found in the nucleus. The number of protons is the atomic number of an element. To find the number of neutrons, subtract the atomic number from the mass of an atom. For example, sodium’s atomic number is 11. This will tell us that sodium has 11 protons in it. The atomic mass of sodium is 23. So subtract 23 form 11 gives us 12. Therefore, there are 12 neutrons in sodium.
