When a resistor is connected to a 12-V source, it draws a 185-mA current. The same resistor connected to a 90-V source draws a 1

.25-A current. (a) Is the resistor ohmic? Justify your answer mathematically. (b) What is the rate of Joule heating in this resistor in both cases?

Answer:

The resistor is not Ohmic

Explanation:

In the first case, from ohm's law: V=IR

R=V/I= 12/0.185=64.9 ohm

In the second case:

R=V/I= 90/1.25= 72ohm

The relationship between voltage and current is linear according to ohms law but that is not the case here.

Joule heating = I^2R

For case1: (0.185)^2 × 64.9 = 2.2W

For case2: (1.25)^2 ×72 =112.5W

Answer:

Explanation:

Ohm's law is define by the formula

V = IR where I is current in A, R is resistance in ohms

to calculate the resistance we use the formula above

I = 185 mA / 1000 = 0.185 A

case 1, R = V / I = 12 V / 0.185 A = 64.86 ohms

case 2, R = V / I = 90 / 1.25 A = 72 ohms

a) the resistor is not ohmic since there is no linear relationship between R and V ( as voltage increases, resistance ought to also increase)

b) rate of Joule heating in the case 1, P, power = IV = 0.185 A × 12 = 2.22 W

case 2, P = IV = 1.25 A × 90 V = 112.5 W

Which type of communications equipment functions as a radio receiver and searches across several frequencies?
krok68 [10]

A <u>scanner</u> is a type of communications equipment that functions as a radio receiver and searches across several frequencies.

A scanner is a kind of a radio receiver that has the ability to receive multiple signals.

There are three modes which a scanner uses for acting as a radio receiver. The scan mode of the radio receiver constantly changes frequencies that helps in transmissions. There is also a manual scan mode that allows the users to search for their interested frequencies. The search mode allows the users to search through two sets of frequencies.

A scanner is a type of communication equipment that is easy to use with various features such as the volume, numeric keypad,  trunk tracking etc.

A ray of light has a wavelength of
MArishka [77]

Answer:

The wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.

Explanation:

Given that,

The wavelength of light, \lambda=284\ nm

The refractive index of glass, n = 1.51

We need to find the wavelength in vacuum. The relation between wavelength and refractive index is given by :

n=\dfrac{\lambda_v}{\lambda}\\\\\lambda_v=n\times \lambda\\\\\lambda_v=1.51\times 284\\\\\lambda_v=428.8\ nm

So, the wavelength in vacuum is equal to 428.8 nm.
