Why are the wires twisted around each other in twisted pair cable?

Physics
1 answer:
Goryan [66]3 years ago
5 0

The wires are twisted around each other in a twisted pair cable for the purpose of blocking off any external electromagnetic interference.

A twisted-pair cable is a form of cable system used for telecom services as well as most current wired networks. Twisted pairs are composed of two insulated copper wires that are been twisted together. The circuit is formed by a twisted pair of wires that may carry data. These pairs are twisted to prevent interference or noise caused by neighboring pairs.

A sound wave of the form s = sm cos(kx - ?t + f) travels at 343 m/s through air in a long horizontal tube. At one instant, air m
Naddik [55]

Answer:

960.24 Hz

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A sound wave of the form

S=Smcos(kx−ωt+Φ)

travels at 343 m/s through air in a long horizontal tube. At one instant, air molecule A at x = 2.000 m is at its maximum positive displacement of 6.00 nm and air molecule B at x = 2.070 m is at a positive displacement of 2.00 nm. All the molecules between A and B are at intermediate displacements. What is the frequency of the wave?

Solution

Given x₁ = 2.0 m, x₂ = 2.070 m, maximum positive displacement s = 6.00 nm at x₁, positive displacement s = 2.00 nm at x₂, velocity of wave v = 343 m/s, maximum positive displacement s₀ = 6.00 nm

Let t₀ = 0 at x₁ = 2.0 m for maximum displacement.

So, s = s₀cos(kx−ωt+Φ)

     6 = 6cos(2k - 0 + Φ) = 6cos(2k + Φ)⇒ cos(2k + Φ) = 6/6 = 1

cos(2k + Φ) = 1 ⇒ (2k + Φ) = cos⁻¹ (1) = 0 ⇒ 2k + Φ = 0

Let t₀ = 0 at x₂ = 2.070 m for displacement s = 2.00 nm.

So, s = s₀cos(kx−ωt+Φ)

     2 = 6cos(2.070k - 0 + Φ) = 6cos(2.070k + Φ)⇒ cos(2.070k + Φ) = 2/6 = 1/3

cos(2.070k + Φ) = 1/3 ⇒ (2.070k + Φ) = cos⁻¹ (1/3) = 70.53 ⇒ 2.070k + Φ = 70.53.

We now have two simultaneous equations.

2k + Φ = 0   (1)

2.070k + Φ = 70.53.    (2)

Subtracting (2) -(1)

2.070k - 2k = 70.53

0.070k = 70.53

k = 70.53/0.070 = 1007.554π/180 rad/m = 17.59 rad/m

k = 2π/λ ⇒ λ = 2π/k

and frequency, f = v/λ = v/2π/k = kv/2π = 17.59 × 343/2π = 960.24 Hz

0.8 mj of energy are used by a blender in 3 and a half minutes what is the power rating on the blender
solong [7]

Answer:

   Power rating on the blender = 3809.52 Watts

Explanation:

   We have expression for power equal to ratio of work and time,

   Energy used by blender = Work done by electricity = 0.8 MJ = 0.8*10^6J=800000J

   Time of using blender = 3.5 minutes = 210 seconds

   So power of blender = 800000/210 = 3809.52 Watts

   Power rating on the blender = 3809.52 Watts

If light of wavelength 700 nm strikes such a photocathode, what will be the maximum kinetic energy, in eV , of the emitted elect
Oksana_A [137]

If the light of wavelength 700 nm strikes such a photocathode the maximum kinetic energy, in eV, of the emitted electrons is 0.558 eV.

so - $KE_{max} = hc/lembda}  work

threshold when KE = 0

hc/lambda = work = 1240/900=1.38 eV

b) Kemax = hc/lambda - work = 1240/640 -1.38=0.558 eV

What is photocathode?

  • A photocathode electrolyte interface can be used in a photoelectrolysis cell as the primary light-harvesting junction (in conjunction with an appropriate electrochemical anode) or as an optically complementary photoactive half-cell in a tandem photoelectrode photoelectrolysis cell (Hamnett, 1982; Kocha et al, 1994).
  • In the case of the former, the electrode should ideally harvest photon energy across the majority of the solar spectrum in order to achieve the highest energy conversion efficiency possible.
  • In the latter case, however, the photocathode may only be active in a specific band of the solar spectrum in order to generate a cathodic photocurrent sufficient to match the current generated in the photoanodic half-cell.
