Mains electricity is an ac supply. Explain the difference between direct and alternating potential difference.

Answers

Answer 1

Direct current (DC) is the flow of electric charge in only one direction. It is the steady state of a constant-voltage circuit. Most well-known applications, however, use a time-varying voltage source. Alternating current (AC) is the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction.

Answers

Answer:

2 Hz.

Explanation:

Frequency is simply defined as the number of appearances of a periodic event occurring per time. It is usually measured in cycles/second.

Now, in this question, we are told that there are 2 cycles for each second.

Thus, we can say that the frequency is 2 cycles/1 s = 2 Hz.

the electric charge remains at rest in a. static electricity, b. current electricity, c. none of these​

Answers

Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

The electric charge is the inherent property of matter which appears due to the deficiency of charge or the excess number of electrons.

There are two types of charges, positive and negative.

When an object has deficiency of charge it becomes positive charge and when it gains some electrons, it becomes negative charge.

When the charge is in motion, it is called electric current and when the charge is at rest, it is called static current.

A charge at rest contributes the electric field only while the charge is in motion contributes the electric and magnetic field both.

     3         ½ k 9 = 4.5 k

     4         ½ k 16 = 8k

Explanation:

The total mechanical energy of a simple harmonic movement is constant in time, let's look for the energy at one end of the movement, where the velocity of the body is zero.

        Em = U = ½ k x²

at the end x = A

        Em = ½ k A²

Let's build a table for the energy and as a function of the amplitudes of the movement

     A         Em

     1          ½ K

     2         ½ k 4 = 2k

     3         ½ k 9 = 4.5 k

A glass tube in the shape of a letter J has the shorter limb sealed and the longer limb open. Mercury is poured into the tube until the levels in either limb is the same when the tube is vertical.In this position, the length of the air column in the sealed limb is 6.3cm.More mercury is then poured into the tube until the length of the trapped air column is 42cm.Calculate the difference in the levels of mercury in the limbs if a nearby mercury barometer reads 75.0cm and the reading of a nearby thermometer has not changed?​

Answers

Answer:

35.4 cm

Explanation:

We have that when the level of mercury on either limb is the same, the pressure of the trapped air, P₁ = Atmospheric pressure

Also the initial height of the mercury in the tube = The reading of the barometer = 75.0 cm

The initial length of the air column, l₁ = 6.3 cm

The final length of the air column, l₂ = 4.2 cm (The length is expected to decrease due to compression)

The volume, V = l × A

Where;

A = The cross sectional area of the tube

Therefore, the volume of the air column is directly proportional to the length of the air column

∴ V ∝ l

According to Boyles law, we have;

P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂

Where;

P₁ = The initial pressure in the air column before more mercury is added

V₁ = The initial volume occupied by the air in the air column

P₂, and V₂ are the final pressure and volume of the air column respectively

Given that V = l·A, we can write;

P₁·l₁·A = P₂·l₂·A

P₂ = P₁·l₁·A/(l₂·A) = P₁·l₁/(l₂) = P₁ × 6.3/4.2 = 1.5·P₁

The pressure in the air column after more mercury is added, P₂ = 1.5 × P₁

P₁ = Atmospheric pressure, therefore;

The pressure in the air column after more mercury is added, P₂ = 1.5 × Atmospheric pressure

Pressure = h·ρ·g

Where;

ρ = The density of the substance

g = The acceleration due to gravity

h = The height of the column of the fluid

Given that the density and the gravitational force, can be taken as constant, we have that the pressure of the fluid is directly proportional to the height of the fluid column

Therefore, when the pressure doubles, the height of the fluid column doubles, and when the factor of increase is 1.5, we have;

The final level of the mercury, h₂ = 1.5·h₁ = 1.5×75 cm = 112.5 cm

The initial length of the closed end of the J tube, [tex]h_{closed1}[/tex] = 6.3 cm + 75 cm = 81.3 cm

The final length of the mercury in the closed end, [tex]h_{closed2}[/tex] = 81.3 cm - 4.2 cm = 77.1 cm

The difference in the level of mercury, Δh = h₂ - [tex]h_{closed2}[/tex]

∴ Δh = 112.5 cm - 77.1 cm = 35.4 cm

The difference in the levels of mercury in the limbs, Δh = 35.4 cm

Why does time have a direction? Please give your ideas I want to see them. Brainliest f0r most effort.:)

Answers

Answer:

it's a rule like water !!!!

Explanation:

Most importantly, time appears to run forward always never backwards. in other words there's perceived arrow of time and there's thermodynamic arrow of time, and they always point in a forward direction

for every system there are more states that seem chaotic then states that seem ordered.

the arrow of time seems to have something to do with that tendency. but to get from one instance to another where things get more entropy, we already need some kind of time, gotta admit that.

some (physicists) believe that time is an illusion, that the whole universe is already set in stone, like a block (the idea is therefore called block universe). from the perspective of a godlike outside observer the universe would be like a book, or a 4D movie. the characters might feel a movement of things in a direction, but rewinding it wouldn't feel different in any instance because the order in wich things happen is already written.

a different idea is that there are infinite many different futures and the further they are away, the less we can know for sure about them in a physical way. and this might also be work for the past, so that different parts could lead to one present.

when macroscopic information is deleted, it might not be reversible, so the past gets ultimately blurry. one example for deletion of macroscopic information this is the Library of Alexandria wich burned down.

all the quantum information is still conserved, but the order of things (like letters on pages) is lost and could have been in different configurations before. we can't ultimately not even see the past, as much as we would try.

personally the idea that the past is written in stone but the future is in flux doesn't make any sense for me. because than I could have free will now, but not from the perspective 10 days later.

the present would be a very special thing than, the stage where the universe likes to play.

maybe we can get a grasp on time if we look at it like rules for a game, like a cardboard game.

To get from one configuration to the next ,we must follow rules. like throwing dice and moving in monopoly.

gravity would be a simple real world example for such a rule, a natural law.

But no one would have a firm clue where this rules came from.

TLDR: I don't know and neither does anyone else for sure, not even top notch scientists.

the hardest questions are easy to formulate, but maybe even impossible for us to answer in a satisfying way. I hope we will understand those hard questions better one day, and maybe even get answers.

Explanation:

The human eye is made up of different parts which ranges from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to the focusing of the image that is formed. The camera is a device which is both mechanically and electronically operated which shares a number of similarities with the eye.

In the human eye, the IRIS helps to regulate the amount of rays passing through the pupil to the lens by either contracting or dilating in light or dark environment respectively. While in the camera, the DIAPHRAGM controls the amount of light entering the camera.

The PUPIL serves as the passage for light into the eye while in the camera, the APERTURE does the same.

The photosensitive surface in the eye is the YELLOW SPOT while in the camera, the photosensitive surface is the PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.

As the motor speeds up, the value of current decreases because of A. Friction loss B. Increase in resistance C. Increase in back emf D. All mentioned above

Answers

Answer:

C. Increase in back emf

Explanation:

As the current through the field winding decreases the field strength also decreases and the back-emf is reduced, as a result the motor speeds up.

When the motor begins to speed-up, an additional back EMF is generated due to induction which reduces armature current. This also results in reduced strength of the field flux. The back emf generated is not enough to reduce the armature current which could stop the acceleration of the motor and the motor further accelerates.

b.to reduce the voltage of AC
c.to decrease the voltage of AC
d. to change the maginetic flux​

Answers

Answer:

A. to reduce the loss of energy in the form of heat across the transformer

Explanation:

The core of the transformer is laminated to minimise the energy as they interfere with the efficient transfer of energy from the primary coil to the secondary one. The eddy currents cause energy to be lost from the transformer as they heat up the core - meaning that electrical energy is being wasted as heat.

A body of mass 8000 moving with a velocity of 2.5m/s collides with a stationery twice the mass of the first body. After impact the mass moves to 1.0m/s Find the speed of the first body.​

Answers

Answer:

the final speed of the first ball is 0.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first body, m₁ = 8000 kg

mass of the second body, m₂ = 16,000 kg

initial velocity of the first body, u₁ = 2.5 m/s

initial velocity of the second body, u₂ = 0

final velocity of the stationary mass, v₂ = 1 m/s

let the final velocity of the first body = v₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂  = m₁v₁   +   m₂v₂

8000(2.5)  +   (16,000 x 0)   =   8000v₁   +  16,000 (1)

20,000  +  0 = 8000v₁  +  16,000

8000v₁ = 4000

v₁ = 4000/8000

v₁ = 0.5 m/s

Therefore, the final speed of the first ball is 0.5 m/s
