Answer:

The quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is 4.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the battery, V = 12 V

resistance of the resistor, R = 100-Ω

time of current flow, t = 1 min

charge of 1 electron = 1.602 x 10¹⁹ C

The current through this circuit is given by;

I = V / R

I = (12) / (100)

I = 0.12 A

The quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is calculated as;

Q =It

where;

I is the current flowing through the wire

t is the time of current flow = 1 x 60s = 60 s

Q = 0.12 x 60

Q = 7.2 C

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C --------------- 1 electron

7.2 C -----------------------------? electron

$= \frac{7.2 }{1.602*10^{-19}} \\\\= 4.5*10^{19} \ electrons$

Therefore, the quantity of charge or electron flowing the wire in the given time is 4.5 x 10¹⁹ electrons.

The coil of a generator has a radius of 0.14 m. When this coil is unwound, the wire from which it is made has a length of 10.0 m

adell [148]

Answer:

5.565 V

Explanation:

Radius of coil of generator=r=0.14 m

Length of wire=l=10 m

Magnetic field,B=0.24 T

Angular speed, $\omega=34rad/s$

We have to find the peak emf of the generator.

$N=\frac{l}{2\pi r}=\frac{10}{2\pi\times 0.14}=11$

$A=\pi r^2=\pi (0.14)^2=0.062m^2$

Peak(maximum) induced emf of generator= $E_{max}=NBA\omega$

Using the formula

$E_{max}=11\times 0.24\times 0.062\times 34$

$E_{max}=5.565 V$

Points A, B, and C lie along a line from left to right, respectively. Point B is at a lower electric potential than point A. Poi

djyliett [7]

Answer:

A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.

Explanation:

As we know that

potential at points A, B,C and D as V_A, V_B, V_C, V_D and it is clear from the question that

V_A>V_B>V_C

And we know that flow is always from higher to lower potential (for positive charge due to positive potential energy).

So the charge will accelerate from B toward C.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Atmosphere

Atmospheric gas from prehistoric eras is found trapped in glaciers in the form of bubbles. These gas bubbles are the basis of studying ice cores as they provide us with accurate estimates of the conditions of past climates. The bubbles allow us to determine the composition of atmospheric air, such as the carbon dioxide and methane concentrations, as well as allow us to determine air temperatures in the past.

vazorg [7]

My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height.

Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ increases with height.

<h3>How does tension affect the speed of a wave in a rope?</h3>

The Increase of the tension placed on a string is one that tends to increases the speed of a wave, which in turn also increases the frequency of any given length.

Therefore, My response to question (a) and (b) is that all of the element of the rope need to aid or support the weight of the rope and as such, the tension will tend to increase along with height. Note that It increases linearly, if the rope is one that do not stretch. So, the wave speed v= √ T/μ increases with height.
