Answer:

A.) When an electric current is passed through a conductor, it generates heat due to the hindrance caused by the conductor to the flowing current. The work done in overcoming the hindrance to the current generates heat in that conductor.

B.) The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect. It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect

C.) An electric fuse is an electric device which interrupts the flow of current in an electric circuit. It is installed in a circuit to stop the flow of excessive current. A fuse is usually a short piece of wire. Normally an alloy of tin and lead is used as the fuse wire, as it has high resistivity and low melting point.

D.) the act or process or an instance of transpiring especially : the passage of watery vapor from a living body (as of a plant) through a membrane or pores.

E.) An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. Electromagnets usually consist of wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole, denoting the centre of the coil.

Problem 1: Spherical mirrorConsider a spherical mirror of radius 2 m, and rays which go parallel to the optic axis. What is thep
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

1) iii i= 1m, 2)  iii and iv, 3)  i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

Explanation:

Problem 1

For this problem we use two equations the equations of the focal distance in mirrors

              f = r / 2

              f = 2/2

             f = 1 m

The builder's equation

           1 / f = 1 / o + 1 / i

Where f is the focal length, "o and i" are the distance to the object and the image respectively.

For a ray to arrive parallel to the surface it must come from infinity, whereby o = ∞ and 1 / o = 0

              1 / f = 0 + 1 / i

              i = f

              i = 1 m

The image is formed at the focal point

The correct answer is iii

Problem 2

For this problem we have two possibilities the lens is convergent or divergent, in both cases the back face (R₂) must be flat

Case 1 Flat lens - convex (convergent)

              R₂ = infinity

              R₁ > 0

Cas2 Flat-concave (divergent) lens

             R₂ = infinity

              R₁ <0

Why the correct answers are iii and iv

Problem 3

For a thick lens the rays parallel to the first surface fall in their focal length (f₁), this is the exit point for the second surface whereby the distance to the object is o = L –f₁, let's apply the constructor equation to this second surface

          1 / f₂ = 1 / (L-f₁) + 1 / i

          1 / i = 1 / f₂ - 1 / (L-f₁)

           1 / i = (L-f₁-f₂) / f₂ (L-f₁)

           i = f₂ (L-f₁) / (L - (f₁ + f₂))

This is the image of the rays that enter parallel to the first surface

an engine has been design to work between source and the sink at temperature 177 degree Celsius and 27 degree Celsius respective
irina [24]

<u>Given data</u>

Source temperature (T₁) = 177°C = 177+273 = 450 K

Sink temperature (T₂) = 27°C = 27+273 = 300 K

Energy input (Q₁) = 3600 J ,

Work done = ?

                We know that, efficiency (η) = Net work done ÷ Heat supplied

                                                           η =   W ÷ Q₁  

                                                           W = η × Q₁

               First determine the efficiency ( η ) = ?

                                Also, we know that ( η ) = (T₁ - T₂) ÷ (T₁)

                                                                        = 33.3% = 0.333

               Now, Work done is W = η × Q₁

                                                    = 0.33 × 3600

                                                 <em>  W = 1188 J</em>

<em>Work done by the engine is 1188 J</em>

Given the height of rod,length of shadow of tree and length of shadow of the rod, estimate the height of the tree? Given:height
diamong [38]

Answer:

1000 cm.

Explanation:

To obtain the estimated tree height :

(Height of rod / length of rod shadow) = (height of tree / length of tree shadow)

Substituting values into the formula :

(150cm / 120 cm) = (height of tree / 800 cm)

Using cross multiplication :

Height of tree * 120 = 150 * 800

Height of tree = (150 * 800) / 120

Height of tree = 120,000 / 120

Height of tree = 1000

Hence, estimate height of tree = 1000 cm
