A 1500-W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120-V circuit that has a 20-A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai

r dryer into the same outlet. The hair dryer has power settings of 600 W, 900 W, 1200 W, and 1500 W. You start with the hair dryer on the 600-W setting and increase the power setting until the circuit breaker trips. What power setting caused the breaker to trip?

Answer:

900 W.      

Explanation:

Given that

Electric heater 1500 W

We know that power P given as

P= V I

So the total power of 120 V and 20 A circuit

P = 120 x 20

P= 2400 W

So the power new load P'

P'= Total system power(P)- Electric heater load

P ' = 2400 - 1500

P'= 900 W

So the answer is 900 W.

Why is it important foe scientists to know how many valence electrons a given element has
Vikentia [17]
Because the number of valence electrons of an element determines the properties and in particular the reactivity of that element.

In fact, elements of the first group (i.e. only one valence electron) have high reactivity, because they can easily give away their valence electron to atoms of other elements forming bonds. On the contrary, elements of the 8th group (noble gases) have their outermost shell completely filled with electrons, so they do not have valence electrons, and they have little or no reactivity at all.

Answer:

X: Low potential energy

Y: High Potential energy

Z: Flow of electrons

Explanation: From the figure, it's obvious that Z is the flow of electrons, as shown by the arrow demonstrating the direction of the flow. Because of this, we can easily nullify choices B and C.

From the figure, we can notice that Y has more energy stored and X has a lot less, so you can conclude that Y has high potential energy while X has low potential energy.
