Answer: The correct answer is option (D).

Explanation:

Voltmeter is a device which measures the the voltage applied across the circuit. It is an electrical instrument used to measure the electric potential between the two points in an electric circuit.

Where as:

A switch is the device which used to connect or disconnect the circuit.

Resistor is a device which opposes the flow of current is an electric circuit.

An ammeter the is an electrical device which measures the amount of current in flowing in amperes in an electrical circuit

Hence,the correct answer is option (D).

You have four fixed-volume containers at STP . Container A has 0.5 mol of gas in 11.2 L. Container B has 2 mol of gas in 22.4 L.

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Container A and C

Explanation:

ideal gas equation gives P=nRT/V

so at constant Temperature and pressure, P=n/T

Container A and C after dividing number of moles and Volume, are found to be the same=0.0446

You just calibrated a constant volume gas thermometer. The pressure of the gas inside the thermometer is 294.0 kPa when the ther

Travka [436]

Answer: 361° C

Explanation:

Given

Initial pressure of the gas, P1 = 294 kPa

Final pressure of the gas, P2 = 500 kPa

Initial temperature of the gas, T1 = 100° C = 100 + 273 K = 373 K

Final temperature of the gas, T2 = ?

Let us assume that the gas is an ideal gas, then we use the equation below to solve

T2/T1 = P2/P1

T2 = T1 * (P2/P1)

T2 = (100 + 273) * (500 / 294)

T2 = 373 * (500 / 294)

T2 = 373 * 1.7

T2 = 634 K

T2 = 634 K - 273 K = 361° C

Yuri [45]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, the complete question is

"A circular coil of radius r = 5 cm and resistance R = 0.2 ? is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the field changes with time according to B = 0.5 e^-t T. What is the magnitude of the current induced in the coil at the time t = 2 s?"

2.6mA

Explanation:

we need to determine the emf induced in the coil and y applying ohm's law we determine the current induced.

using the formula be low,

$E=-\frac{d}{dt}(BACOS\alpha )\\$

where B is the magnitude of the field and A is the area of the circular coil.

First, let determine the area using $\pi r^{2} \\$ where r is the radius of 5cm or 0.05m

$A=\pi *(0.05)^{2}\\ A=0.00785m^{2}\\$

since we no that the angle is at $0^{0}$

we determine the magnitude of the magnetic filed

$B=0.5e^{-t} \\t=2s$

$E=-(0.5e^{-2} * 0.00785)$

$E=-0.000532v\\$

the Magnitude of the voltage is 0.000532V

Next we determine the current using ohm's law

$V=IR\\R=0.2\\I=\frac{0.000532}{0.2} \\I=0.0026A$

$I=2.6mA$

What two forces act on a falling object ?

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The two forces acting on the object are weight due to gravity pulling the object towards earth, and drag resisting this motion. When the object is first released, drag is small as velocity is low, so the resultant force is down. This means the object accelerates towards earth.
