The specific heat of the unknown substance with a mass of 0.158kg is 0.5478 J/g°C

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

The specific heat capacity of a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat absorbed (J)
c = specific heat capacity (4.18 J/g°C)
m = mass of substance
∆T = change in temperature (°C)

According to this question, 2,510.0 J of heat is required to heat the 0.158kg substance from 32.0°C to 61.0°C. The specific heat capacity can be calculated:

2510 = 158 × c × (61°C - 32°C)

2510 = 4582c

c = 2510 ÷ 4582

c = 0.5478 J/g°C

Therefore, the specific heat capacity of the unknown substance that has a mass of 0.158 kg is 0.5478 J/g°C.

We want to construct a solenoid with a resistance of 4.30 Ω and generate a magnetic field of 3.70 × 10−2 T at its center when ap

marshall27 [118]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Resistance of solenoid,R=4.3 ohm

Magnetic field,B= $3.7\times 10^{-2} T$

Current,I=4.6 A

Diameter of wire,d=0.5 mm= $0.5\times 10^{-3} m$

Radius of wire,r= $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{2}=0.25\times 10^{-3} m$

$1mm=10^{-3} m$

Radius of solenoid,r'=1 cm= $1\times 10^{-2} m$

$1 cm=10^{-2} m$

Resistivity of copper, $\rho=1.68\times 10^{-8}\Omega m$

We know that

$R=\frac{\rho l}{A}$

Where $A=\pi r^2$

Using the formula

$4.3=\frac{1.68\times 10^{-8}\times l}{\pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}$

$l=\frac{4.3\times \pi(0.25\times 10^{-3})^2}{1.68\times 10^{-8}}=50.23 m$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{l}{2\pi r'}$

Number of turns of wire= $\frac{50.26}{2\pi(1\times 10^{-2}}=800$

Hence, the number of turns of the solenoid,N=799

Magnetic field in solenoid,B= $\mu_0 nI$

$3.7\times 10^{-2}=4\pi\times 10^{-7} n\times 4.6$

$n=\frac{3.7\times 10^{-2}}{4\times 3.14\times 10^{-7}\times 4.6}$

$n=6404 turns/m$

$n=\frac{N}{L}$

$L=\frac{N}{n}$

$L=\frac{799}{6404}$

$L=0.125 m=0.125\times 100=12.5 cm$

Length of solenoid=12.5 cm

1m=100 cm

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will _____________.

malfutka [58]

If one of two interacting charges is doubled, the force between the charges will double.

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by Coulomb's law

$F=\frac{k q1 q2}{r^{2}}$

K=constant= 9 x 10⁹ N m²/C²

q1= charge on first particle

q2= charge on second particle

r= distance between the two charges

Now if the first charge is doubled,

we get $F'=\frac{k (2q1) q2}{r^{2}}$

F'= 2 F

Thus the force gets doubled.
