Stells [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

D. crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions

Explanation:

Semiconductors are crystalline solids that has the ability to conduct electrical currents but on certain conditions e.g heat. The conduction of semiconductors is less than that of conductors (metals) but more than insulators (nonmetals), hence, they are said to be intermediates of conductors and insulators in terms of electrical conductivity.

Examples of semiconductors are silicon, boron, carbon, germanium, arsenic etc.

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω. The material constant, β, for this therm
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

the thermistor temperature = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C

Explanation:

Given that:

A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.

i.e Temperature

T_1 = 100^0C\\T_1 = (100+273)K\\\\T_1 = 373\ K

Resistance of the thermistor R_1 = 20,000 ohms

Material constant \beta = 3650

Resistance of the thermistor R_2 = 500 ohms

Using the equation :

R_1 = R_2  \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

\frac{R_1}{ R_2} =   \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

Taking log of both sides

In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = In \  \ e^{\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2} = {\beta} (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

\frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}} = (\frac{1}{T_1}- \frac{1}{T_2})

\frac{1}{T_2} =   \frac{1}{T_1}  -          \frac{ In \ \frac{R_1}{ R_2}}{ {\beta}}

{T_2} =  \frac{\beta T_1}{\beta - In (\frac{R_1}{R_2})T}

Replacing our values into the above equation :

{T_2} =  \frac{3650*373}{3650 - In (\frac{20000}{500})373}

{T_2} =  \frac{1361450}{3650 - 3.6888*373}

{T_2} =  \frac{1361450}{3650 - 1375.92}

{T_2} =  \frac{1361450}{2274.08}

{T_2} = 598.68 \ K

{T_2} = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C

Thus, the thermistor temperature = 325.68 \ ^0 \ C

Hello, I wanted an answer from a mathematician. The number 1.04 is closer to the number 1, 2, 1.25 or 1.5.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

Of the 4 numbers given, the answer is 1 or A

If you take the absolute value of abs(1 - 1.04) you get 0.04.

(2 - 1.04) = 0.96

1.25 - 1.04 = .21

1.5 - 1.04 = 0.46

The last three are all larger than 0.04

Note: absolute value means the positive difference between 2 numbers (even  though it is negative). If it is negative, absolute value makes it positive.

A 200g block on a 50cm long string swings in a circle, it's frictionless and 75rpm. What is its speed and tension on string
krek1111 [17]
Angular velocity = (75x2pie)/60
                          =2.5pie ras^-1 
linear velocity(or speed) at end of string, v = radius x angular velocity
                                                           v= 0.5 x 2.5pie
                                                           v=3.93 ms^-1

tension of string (I beleve is centeral force aplied by string), F= (mv^2)/r
                                                                                      F= (0.2 x 3.93^2)/0.5
                                                                                      F=6.18 N
(sorry if wrong)
