The electrical system that provides power to your school has two major parts: The transmission line which sends power to your lo

cal area and the distribution lines which transmit the power locally. For safety and efficiency, the voltage must be ______________ in the transmission lines and ____________ in the distribution lines.

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Because of the resistance of transmission lines, high current along the line leads to large voltage drop. This voltage drop causes low efficiency because the voltage at the receiving end is far less than that at the sending end.

Therefore there is need to transmit at a higher voltage (smaller current) than that required by distribution because of efficiency.

Hence, For safety and efficiency, the voltage must be large in the transmission lines and small in the distribution lines.

A small but measurable current of 5.8 × 10-10 A exists in a copper wire whose diameter is 3.0 mm. The number of charge carriers
swat32

Answer:

a) The current density ,J = 2.05×10^-5

b) The drift velocity Vd= 1.51×10^-15

Explanation:

The equation for the current density and drift velocity is given by:

J = i/A = (ne)×Vd

Where i= current

A = Are

Vd = drift velocity

e = charge ,q= 1.602 ×10^-19C

n = volume

Given: i = 5.8×10^-10A

Raduis,r = 3mm= 3.0×10^-3m

n = 8.49×10^28m^3

a) Current density, J =( 5.8×10^-10)/[3.142(3.0×10^-3)^2]

J = (5.8×10^-10) /(2.83×10^-5)

J = 2.05 ×10^-5

b) Drift velocity, Vd = J/ (ne)

Vd = (2.05×10^-5)/ (8.49×10^28)(1.602×10^-19)

Vd = (2.05×10^-5)/(1.36 ×10^10)

Vd = 1.51× 10^-5

The _____ inside the stratosphere blocks ultraviolet radiation. apex
podryga [215]
The ozone layer that is inside the stratosphere blocks UV radiation.

The ozone layer contains high concentrations of ozone relative to other parts of the atmosphere. This was discovered by Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson who are both French Physicists. 

The ozone in the earth's stratosphere is created through ultraviolet light striking a group of ordinary oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms, subsequently splitting them into individual oxygen atoms and finally these said atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone (O3).

Fantom [35]

Answer:

Explanation:In Mendel's time, many people thought that offspring inherited a combination of traits from their parents. For example, they thought that an animal with white fur and an animal with black fur would produce pups with gray fur. This is called the theory of combined inheritance. How did Mendel show that the combination theory was wrong?

The energy of the wave will decrease.

The energy of a wave is given as

E = h f

where E = energy of waver

h = plank's constant

f = frequency of the wave.

From the formula , we see that the energy of the wave is directly proportional to the frequency of the wave. hence as the frequency of the wave decrease, the energy of the wave will decrease.

1. It s defficult to lift a heavier stone than the lighter one. why​
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

lThe effect of the attraction of the earth on a bigger stone can be observed more than the effect of attraction of the earth on a smaller one. hence it is difficult to lift a large stone than the smaller one on the earth surface.
