Define potential difference as used in electricity​

Physics

mart [117]2 years ago

Potential difference is the difference in the amount of energy that charge carriers have between two points in a circuit. ... The energy is transferred to the electrical components in a circuit when the charge carriers pass through them. We use a voltmeter to measure potential difference (or voltage).

Answer:

This ability of charged particles to do work is called an electric potential.

Explanation:

When two negative charges are brought close to each other, they also repel. But when a positive and a negative charge are brought close together, they attract each other. When these two opposite charges are combined, they can be used to work. This is why we need a positive (+) and a negative (–) to light a bulb or run any electrical tool, equipment, mobile phone or home appliance.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2."

Explanation:

The full question has not been provided, so I just copied this into the web and found this answer and explanation on quizlet:

"The wavelengths are the same for both. The width of slit 1 is larger than the width of slit 2.

D sin θ = m λ

if the wavelengths are the same, then if the angle is smaller, the slit width must be larger. The top photo shows a pattern that is more closely spaced. That means the angle is smaller. The slit width must be larger."

This answer/explanation should be correct, as we are looking at bright fringes and the formula being used corresponds to the parameters of the question.

Hope this helps!

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 9.7-mm thick. The concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.664 and 0.3
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

844°C

Explanation:

The problem can be easily solve by using Fick's law and the Diffusivity or diffusion coefficient.

We know that Fick's law is given by,

J = - D \frac{\Delta c}{\Delta x}

Where \frac{\Delta c}{\Delta x} is the concentration of gradient

D is the diffusivity coefficient

and J is the flux of atoms.

In the other hand we have, that

D= D_0 e^{\frac{E_d}{RT}}

Where D_0 is the proportionality constant,

R is the gas constant, T the temperature and E_d is the activation energy.

Replacing the value of diffusivity coefficient in Fick's law we have,

J = -D_0 ^{\frac{E_d}{RT}}\frac{\Delta c}{\Delta x}

Rearrange the equation to get the value of temperature,

T=\frac{Ed}{Rln(\frac{J\Delta x}{D_0 \Delta c})}

We have all the values in our equation.

\Delta c = 0.664-0.339 = 0.325 C. cm^{-1}

\Delta x = 9.7*10^{-3}m

E_d = 82000J

D_0 = 6.5*10^{-7}m^2/s

J = 3.2*10^{-9}m^2/s

R= 8.31Jmol^{-1}K

Substituting,

T=\frac{Ed}{Rln(\frac{J\Delta x}{D_0 \Delta c})}

T=-\frac{-82000}{(8.31)ln(\frac{3.2*10^{-9}(9.7*10^{-3})}{6.5*10^{-7} (0.325)})}

T=1118.07K=844\°C

One end of an insulated metal rod is maintained at 100 ∘C and the other end is maintained at 0.00 ∘C by an ice–water mixture. Th
lozanna [386]

Answer:

k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, T_H=100^{\circ}C

temperature at the cooler end, T_C=0^{\circ}C

length of rod through which the heat travels, dx=0.7\,m

cross-sectional area of rod, A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg

time taken for the melting of ice, t=15\times60=900\,s

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}......................................(1)

where:

\dot{Q}=rate of heat transfer

dT= temperature difference across the length dx

Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:

we know the latent heat of fusion of ice,  L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}

Q=m.L

Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000

Q=2905.8\,J

Now the heat rate:

\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t}

\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900}

\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W

Now using eq,(1)

3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}

k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}
