Answer:

<em>For a dry-cell battery to operate, oxidation will occur from the zinc anode and reduction will take place in the cathode. The most common type of cathode is a carbon graphite. Once reactants have been turned into products, the dry-cell battery will work to produce electricity.</em>

Explanation:

<em>The battery operates through electrochemical reactions called oxidation and reduction. These reactions involve the exchange of electrons between chemical species. If a chemical species loses one or more electrons, this is called oxidation. The opposite process, the gain of electrons, is called reduction.</em>

You wish to produce an emf of 41.0 mV using an inductor whose inductance is 13.0 H. You start with a current of 1.50 mA through

Molodets [167]

Answer:

The current through the inductor at the end of 2.60s is 9.7 mA.

Explanation:

Given;

emf of the inductor, V = 41.0 mV

inductance of the inductor, L = 13 H

initial current in the inductor, I₀ = 1.5 mA

change in time, Δt = 2.6 s

The emf of the inductor is given by;

$V = L\frac{di}{dt} \\\\V = \frac{L(I_1-I_o)}{dt} \\\\L(I_1-I_o) = V*dt\\\\I_1-I_o = \frac{V*dt}{L}\\\\I_1 = \frac{V*dt}{L} + I_o\\\\I_1 = \frac{41*10^{-3}*2.6}{13} +1.5*10^{-3}\\\\I_1 = 8.2*10^{-3} + 1.5*10^{-3}\\\\I_1 = 9.7 *10^{-3} \ A\\\\ I_1 = 9.7 \ mA$

Therefore, the current through the inductor at the end of 2.60 s is 9.7 mA.

on the surface of theearth ,the weight of a boy is 400N but on a mountainpeak his weight is 360N,Calculatethe value of ''g' on t

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The value of g at sea level is 9.81 ms^-2.

The boy's mass is constant wherever he is in the universe but his weight will depend on the strength gravity where he is.

By proportion its value on the mountain peak is (360 /400) * 9.81

= 0.9 * 9.81 = 8.83 ms^-2 to nearest hundredth, (answer).

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦

bija089 [108]

At stp (standard temperature and pressure), the temperature is T=0 C=273 K and the pressure is p=1.00 atm. So we can use the ideal gas law to find the number of moles of helium:
$pV=nRT$
where p is the pressure (1.00 atm), V the volume (20.0 L), n the number of moles, T the temperature (273 K) and $R=0.082 atm L K^{-1} mol^{-1}$ the gas constant. Using the numbers and re-arranging the formula, we can calculate n:
$n= \frac{pV}{RT}= \frac{(1.00atm)(20.0L)}{(0.082 LatmK^{-1}mol^{-1})(273 K)}=0.89 mol$
