Find the ratio of the diameter of aluminium to copper wire, if they have the same

Answer:

1.24

Explanation:

The resistivity of copper\rho_1=2.65\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The resistivity of Aluminum,\rho_2=1.72\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

The wires have same resistance per unit length.

The resistance of a wire is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\R=\rho \dfrac{l}{\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2}\\\\\dfrac{R}{l}=\rho \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d}{2})^2}

According to given condition,

\rho_1 \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d_1}{2})^2}=\rho_2 \dfrac{1}{\pi (\dfrac{d_2}{2})^2}\\\\\rho_1 \dfrac{1}{{d_1}^2}=\rho_2 \dfrac{1}{{d_2}^2}\\\\(\dfrac{d_2}{d_1})^2=\dfrac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}\\\\\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{\rho_1}{\rho_2}}\\\\\dfrac{d_2}{d_1}=\sqrt{\dfrac{2.65\times 10^{-8}}{1.72\times 10^{-8}}}\\\\=1.24

So, the required ratio of the diameter of Aluminum to Copper wire is 1.24.

A 50-kg copper block initially at 140°c is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 l of water at 10°c. Determine the f
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

T_f=24.71

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass of block m=50

Temperature of block T_b =140 \textdegree C

Volume of water V= 90L

Temperature of water T_w=10 \textdegree C

Density of water \rho=1000kg/m^3

Specific heat of water C_w=4.18KJ/kg-k

Specific heat of copper C_p=0.96KJ/kg-k

 

Generally the equation for equilibrium stage is mathematically given by

mC_p(T_b-T_f)=\rho*VV*c(T_f-T_w)

50*0.96(140-T_f)=1000*90*10^-3*c_w(T_f-10)

48(140-T_f)=376.2(T_f-10)

140-T_f=7.8375(T_f-10)

140-T_f=7.8375T_f-78.375

-8.8375T_f=-218.375

T_f=\frac{-218.375}{-8.8375}

T_f=\frac{-218.375}{-8.8375}

T_f=24.71

What conversion takes place in a generator?
Andrew [12]

Answer:

B. An electric current into a magnetic field

Explanation:

The generation of electrical power requires relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor. In a generator, mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The electricity produced by most generators is in the form of alternating current.
