Because energy is conserved, the energy that was moving the electrons forward is converted to heat energy. It can also be converted to light energy, as in the filament in a light bulb.

Explanation:

When electron flow is resisted, some of the energy in the electrons does not travel through all the way. Because energy is conserved, the energy that was moving the electrons forward is converted to heat energy. It can also be converted to light energy, as in the filament in a light bulb.

A thin, uniformly charged spherical shell has a potential of 832 V on its surface. Outside the sphere, at a radial distance of 2
Zolol [24]

Answer:

a

The radius is   r_1 = 0.315m            

b

The total  charge is   Q= 2.912*10^{-8}C

c

The electric potential inside sphere is the same with that outside the sphere which implies that the electric potential is 832 V

d

The magnitude of the electric field is  E= 2641.3 V/m

e

The velocity is   v= 1.76 *10^{14} m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The potential is V_1 = 832 V

       The radial distance from the sphere is d = 21.0cm = \frac{21}{100} = 0.21m

       The potential at the radial distance is V_2 = 499V

The potential at the surface of the sphere is mathematically represented as

                     V = \frac{kQ}{r}

                    Vr = kQ

Where kQ is  a constant what this means that the the charge Q and the coulomb constant do  not change

  This means that

              V_1 r_1 = V_2 r_2

Where r_1 is the radius of the sphere

     and r_2 is the distance  from that point where the second potential was measured to the center of the sphere which is mathematically represented as

             r_2 = r_1 + d

Substituting  this into the equation

                      v_1 r_1 = V_2 (r_1 +d)

 Now substituting value

                   832 * r_1 = 499 * (r_1 + 0.21)

                   832r_1 - 499r_1 = 104.79

                   333r_1 = 104.79

                       r_1 = \frac{104.79}{333}

                           r_1 = 0.315m              

From the equation above

          V = \frac{kQ}{r_1}

making Q the subject

        Q = \frac{V r_1 }{k}

k has a values of k = 9*10^9 \ kg\cdot m^3 \cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}

       Substituting into the equation

            Q =\frac{832 * 0.315}{9*10^9}

               Q= 2.912*10^{-8}C

According to  Gauss law  the electric field from  outside a sphere is taken to be an electric field from a point charge this mean that the potential outside a sphere is also taken as electric potential inside a sphere

The magnitude of a electric field from a sphere (point charge ) is mathematically represented as

                  E = \frac{kQ}{r_1^2}

Substituting values

                 E = \frac{9*10^{9} * 2.912*10^{-8}}{0.315^2}

                     E= 2641.3 V/m

 According the the law of energy conservation

  The electric potential energy at the point outside the surface where the second potential was measured(21 cm from the sphere surface) = The electric potential energy at the surface + The kinetic energy of the charge (electron) at that the surface

Generally Electric potential energy is mathematically represented as

         EPE = V * e

Where is e is an electron

And Kinetic energy is mathematically represented as

         KE = \frac{1}{2} m v^2

From the statement above

          V_2 e = V_1 e + \frac{mv^2}{2}

But from the question we can deduce that the potential at the surface is zero

So the equation becomes

            V_2 e = \frac{mv^2}{2}

The charge an electron has a value  e = 1.602*10^{-19}C

And the mass of an electron is m = 9.109 *10^{-31}kg

     Making v the subject

       v = \sqrt{\frac{2V_2 e}{m} }

Substituting value

      v = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 499 * 1.602 *10^{-19}}{9.109*10^{-31}} }

         v= 1.76 *10^{14} m/s

Collect information about working of Geyser and prepare a report
ikadub [295]
A geyser is actually a devise that coverts electrical energy into heat energy for heating up water. The heating element that is inside the geyser actually gets heated up and then in turn it heats the water in contact with it within the geyser. There is also a thermostat device within the geyser that cuts off the heating when the water temperature reaches the desired level. This helps in stopping of electrical energy loss. One inlet brings in cold water while another outlet gets rid of the hot water. When the temperature of the water falls below the desired level the heating is again started by the thermostat.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

a) v = 312.791\,\frac{m}{s}, b) a = 13.333\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Explanation:

The problem is asking the rocket velocity and acceleration at t = 6 s.

a) The general equation of the rocket is:

v=v_{o} -v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}

v = 230\,\frac{m}{s}-(1200\,\frac{m}{s} )\cdot \ln \frac{14000\,kg}{15000\,kg}

v = 312.791\,\frac{m}{s}

b) The acceleration experimented by the rocket is:

a = \frac{v_{ex}}{m_{o}}\cdot \frac{dm}{dt}

a = \frac{1200\,\frac{m}{s} }{15000\,kg}\cdot \frac{1000\,kg}{6\,s}

a = 13.333\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6  to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

        =\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}

        =37.4mpy

mm/yr

CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}

        =\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}

       =0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.
