Why do power plants worry about the resistance of the wires? ( PHYSICAL SCIENCE )

Physics
1 answer:
tatiyna3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Resistors restrict current flow through a circuit.

(The electrons don't easily get from one side to the other)

High voltage is actually needed for to send power over long distances because if you use high current, a lot of the power is lost to the resistance in the wires.

Explanation:

hope it helps <3

Setler [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is from Tech B.

Explanation:

The relay is an electromagnetic device, which is stimulated by a very weak electrical current to open or close a circuit.  It functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit in which, by means of a coil and an electromagnet, a sequence of one or several contactors is activated that allow to open or close other electrical circuits independent of the one that controls it.

Have a nice day!

As the wavelength of light decreases,<br> What happens
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Waves. Refraction is an effect that occurs when a light wave, incident at an angle away from the normal, passes a boundary from one medium into another in which there is a change in velocity of the light. ... The wavelength decreases as the light enters the medium and the light wave changes direction.

Explanation:

As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease. From these equations you may realize that as the frequency increases, the wavelength gets shorter. ... Mechanical and electromagnetic waves with long wavelengths contain less energy than waves with short wavelengths.

Airplane with nose up: The plane's speed through the air is the square root of (80 m/s squared) plus (120 m/s squared. The whole picture is a right triangle, and the plane's speed is the hypotenuse. The angle is the angle whose tangent is (80/120). You can get it from a calculator, a book, a slide rule, or online from the site that rhymes with floogle. The man pulling the load is also a right triangle. The horizontal component is (hypotenuse) times (cosine of the angle). The vertical component is (hypotenuse) times (sine of the same angle). Fill in what you know, look up the sin and cos of 25 degrees and write those in too, and then you can solve for what you have to find.
