How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?

Physics
1 answer:
Goshia [24]3 years ago
5 0
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 .

Describe how the forces of gravity and friction affect the motion that occurs as you write on this page.
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Friction is a force that slows down the motion of a moving object. ... Eventually, friction and gravity will work together to stop the motion of the slide. Gravity is a force that pulls two objects toward each other because of their mass. Mass is the measurement of the amount of material (matter) that makes up an object.

if quasars often resemble little blue stars, what was it about them that so surprised astronomers when they were dis­covered?
Anna11 [10]

Quasar is famous for being an intergalactic object which is billions of years away from the earth yet can still be seen, unlike the other star body, unlike giant galaxies.

Hence, the fact that quasars can be detected from distances where even the biggest and most luminous galaxies cannot be seen means that "they must be intrinsically far more luminous than the brightest galaxies."

This condition, including other related evidence gotten in recent years concerning our galaxy, has shown that quasars are probably the central nuclei of very distant, very active galaxies.

The surprising thing was that quasars and active galaxies have a lot of mass in the center of the very small volume of the space.

Therefore, the surprising thing about quasars was that due to this mass and energy they are 100 times more luminous than Milky Way which means they have high recession velocity and a very large amount of red-shifting.

Which of the following is NOT true of electromagnetic waves? A. An electric field is created in any region of space in which a m
Iteru [2.4K]
The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.

A car travels a distance of 320 km in 4 hours. What is your average speed in meters per second?
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

22.2 m/s

Explanation:

First, we need to convert km to m by multiplying by 1000. This means that the car traveled 320 000 meters.

Next, we convert hours to minutes by multiplying by 3600 (the number of seconds in an hour). This means that overall, the car traveled 320 000 m in 14 400 seconds.

The average speed can be found by using the equation \frac{distance}{time}. After substitution, this gives the fraction \frac{320 000}{14 400}, which reduces to 22 \frac{2}{9} m/s, or about 22.2 m/s.
