Explanation:

The power P dissipated by a heater is defined as

P = VI

where V is the voltage and I is the current.

a) The current running through a 130-W heater is

I = \dfrac{P}{V} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{120\:\text{V}} = 1.08\:\text{A}

b) The resistance <em>R</em><em> </em>of the heater is

P = VI = (IR)I = I^2R

where V= IR is our familiar Ohm's Law.

\Rightarrow R = \dfrac{P}{I^2} = \dfrac{130\:\text{W}}{(1.08\:\text{A})^2}

R = 110.8\:Ω

Travka [436]

Complete question:

A small circular coil of 5 turns of wire lies in a uniform magnetic field of 0.8 T, so that the normal to the plane of the coil makes an angle of 100◦ with the direction of B~ . The radius of the coil is 4 cm, and it carries a current of 1 A.

What is magnitude of the magnetic moment of the coil? Answer in units of A · m2.

Answer:

The magnetic moment of the coil is 0.0252 A.m²

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the coil, r = 4 cm = 0.04 m

number of turns of the coil, N = 5 turns

magnetic field strength B = 0.8 T

current in the coil, I = 1 A

Area of the coil, A = πr² = π(0.04)² = 0.00503 m²

magnetic moment of the coil, μ = NIA

where;

N is the number of turns

I is the current in the coil

A is the area of the coil

magnetic moment of the coil, μ = 5 x 1 x 0.00503 = 0.0252 A.m²

Therefore, the magnetic moment of the coil is 0.0252 A.m²

At a distance of 11 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 65 cps (cps = counts per seco
Alborosie

To solve the problem, it is necessary the concepts related to the definition of area in a sphere, and the proportionality of the counts per second between the two distances.

The area with a certain radius and the number of counts per second is proportional to another with a greater or lesser radius, in other words,

A_1*m=M*A_2

A_i =Area

M,m = Counts per second

Our radios are given by

r_1 = 11cm

R_2 = 20cm

m = 65cps

Therefore replacing we have that,

A_1*m=M*A_2

4\pi r_1^2*m = M * 4\pi R_2^2 M

r^2*m=MR^2

M = \frac{m*r^2}{R^2}

M = \frac{65*11^2}{20^2}

M = 19.6625cps

Therefore the number of counts expect at a distance of 20 cm is 19.66cps
