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.

Two waiters are trying to get through a single door of a kitchen. One pushes on one side of a door 0.567 m from the hinge with a
NISA [10]

Answer:

275.5 N

Explanation:

F_{1} = Force on one side of the door by first waiter = 257 N

F_{2} = Force on other side of the door by second waiter

r_{1} = distance of first force by first waiter from hinge = 0.567 m

r_{2} = distance of second force by second waiter from hinge = 0.529 m

Since the door does not move. hence the door is in equilibrium

Using equilibrium of torque by force applied by each waiter

r_{1} F_{1} = r_{2} F_{2} \\(0.567) (257) = (0.529) F_{2}\\F_{2} = 275.5 N

A quantity of a gas has an absolute pressure of 400 kPa and an absolute temperature of 110 degrees kelvin. When the temperature
shepuryov [24]

You can make sure there's no change in volume by keeping
your gas in a sealed jar with no leaks.  Then you can play with
the temperature and the pressure all you want, and you'll know
that the volume is constant.

For 'ideal' gases,

       (pressure) times (volume) is proportional to (temperature).

And if volume is constant, then

                 (pressure) is proportional to (temperature) .

So if you increase the temperature from 110K to 235K,
the pressure increases to  (235/110)  of where it started.

     (400 kPa) x (235/110)  =  854.55 kPa. (rounded)

Obviously, choice-b is the right one, but
I don't know where the .46 came from.

The capacitance of a fully-charged capacitor is 11 F. Determine the capacitor's capacitance when it is half charged.
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The capacitance is 11 F for half and fully charged capacitor.

Explanation:

Capacitance of capacitor is given by the expression

             C=\frac{\epsilon A}{d}

Where ε is the  vacuum permittivity, A is the area of plates and d is the separation between plates.

So capacitance does not depend upon charge and potential. So capacitance fully and half charged capacitors are same.

Here the capacitance is 11 F for half and fully charged capacitor.
