Answer:
(a) The power wasted for 0.289 cm wire diameter is 15.93 W
(b) The power wasted for 0.417 cm wire diameter is 7.61 W
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of the wire, d = 0.289 cm = 0.00289 m
voltage of the wire, V = 120 V
Power drawn, P = 1850 W
The resistivity of the wire, ρ = 1.68 x 10⁻⁸ Ω⋅m
Area of the wire;
A = πd²/4
A = (π x 0.00289²) / 4
A = 6.561 x 10⁻⁶ m²
(a) At 26 m of this wire, the resistance of the is
R = ρL / A
R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸ x 26) / 6.561 x 10⁻⁶
R = 0.067 Ω
Current in the wire is calculated as;
P = IV
I = P / V
I = 1850 / 120
I = 15.417 A
Power wasted = I²R
Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.067)
Power wasted = 15.93 W
(b) when a diameter of 0.417 cm is used instead;
d = 0.417 cm = 0.00417 m
A = πd²/4
A = (π x 0.00417²) / 4
A = 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m²
Resistance of the wire at 26 m length of wire and 1.366 x 10⁻⁵ m² area;
R = ρL / A
R = (1.68 x 10⁻⁸ x 26) / 1.366 x 10⁻⁵
R = 0.032 Ω
Power wasted = I²R
Power wasted = (15.417²)(0.032)
Power wasted = 7.61 W
Answer:State the question so I can answer
Explanation:
Answer:
D. Metallic atoms have valence shells that are mostly empty, which
means these atoms are more likely to give up electrons and allow
them to move freely.
Explanation:
Metals usually contain very few electrons in their valence shells hence they easily give up these few valence electrons to yield metal cations.
In the metallic bond, metal cations are held together by electrostatic attraction between the metal ions and a sea of mobile electrons.
Since metals give up their electrons easily, it is very easy for them to participate in metallic bonding. They give up their electrons easily because their valence shells are mostly empty, metal valence shells usually contain only a few electrons.
Answer:
The dimensional formula of Young's modulus is [ML^-1T^-2]
