What is a circuit breaker? What is a magnetosphere?

Physics

Hatshy [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Circuit breaker is an electrical switch placed in a circuit which automatically switches off when there is excess current- overload, short circuit. A circuit breaker automatically breaks the circuit and protects it from damage.

The magnetosphere is the magnetic field of the Earth surrounding it and interacts with the solar wind. Its a region in space where magnetic field of the earth is dominant.

A circuit breaker is an automatic device for stopping the flow of current in an electric circuit as a safety measure.

A magnetosphere is the region surrounding the earth or another astronomical body in which its magnetic field is the predominant effective magnetic field.


Hope this helps!! All credit goes to Google though

amm1812

Answer:

resistance of a conductor increases

Explanation:

The resistance of conductors is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. This implies that when the temperature of the conductor is increased, the resistance of the conductor increases likewise.

This is applied in the resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers are useful for accurate temperature measurements at very high or very low temperatures.

tangare [24]

Answer:

  • <u>77.8 m/s, downward</u>

Explanation:

For uniform acceleration motion, the average speed is equal to half the soum of the initial velocity, Vi, and the final velocity, Vf

  • Average speed = (Vf + Vi)/2

Also, by definition, the average speed is the distance divided by the time:

  • Average speed = distance / time

Then:

  • (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

Other kinematic equation for uniform acceleration is:

  • Vf = Vi + a×t

Since the window is falling and the air resistance is ignored, a = g (gravitational acceleration ≈ 9.8m/s²)

Replacing the known values we can set a system of two equations:

From (Vf + Vi)/2 = 300m/6.62s

(Vf + Vi) = 2 × 300m/6.62s

  • Vf + Vi = 90.634      equation 1

From Vf = Vi + a×t

Vf - Vi = 9.8 (6.62)

  • Vf - Vi = 64.876     equation 2

Adding the two equations:

  • 2Vf = 155.510

  • Vf = 77.8 m/s downward (velocities must be reported with their directions)
