How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Goshia [24]4 years ago

To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Work done, W = 1.82 x 10^4 J

(b) internal energy, U = - 4.07 x 10^4 J ( as it decreases)

(c) According to the first law of thermodynamics  

Q = W + U

Q = 1.82 x 10^4 - 4.07 x 10^4

Q = - 2.25 x 10^4 J

During a neighborhood baseball game in a vacant lot, a particularly wild hit sends a 0.148 kg baseball crashing through the pane
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of baseball, m = 0.148 kg

initial velocity, u = 15.5 m/s

final velocity, v = 10.1 m/s

Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = change in momentum

I = m (v - u)

I = 0.148 (10.1 - 15.5)

I = - 0.8 Ns
