A heating element is made by maintaining a potential difference of 75.0Vacross the length of a Nichrome wire that has a2.6010-6m2 cross section. Nichrome has a resistivity of5.0010-7惟尘.(a) If the element dissipates, what is its length?(b) If 100 Vis used to obtain the same dissipation rate, what should the length be?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. If the element dissipates, then the length of the Nichrome wire is 5.85 m.
  2. If is used to obtain the same dissipation rate, then the length of the Nichrome wire is 10.4m.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of given data

  1. The potential difference, V = 75.0V
  2. The cross-sectional area ofthelength of the Nichrome wire is A=2.6010-6m2.
  3. The resistivity of the Nichrome wire is p=5.0010-7惟尘.
  4. The power dissipation is P = 5000W.
  5. The new potential difference, V' = 100 V

Significance of dissipated energy

The power or rate of energy dissipation, in an electrical device across which a potential difference is equal to the product of current and potential difference. It can also be defined as energy transferred per unit time.

By using the equations 26-28 and 26-16, we can find the length of the Nichrome wire, when the element dissipates . Since, L is directly proportional to the square of the potential difference, using the formula for new length; we can find the new length.

Formulae:

The value of the dissipated power, P=V2R 鈥(颈)

Here, P is the power, R is the resistance, V is the potential difference.

The resistance of the material, R=pLA 鈥(颈颈)

Here, R is resistance, L is the length of the wire, p is the resistivity, A is area of cross-section.

The length relation to the potential difference,L'=LV'V2 鈥(颈颈颈)

Since,LV2

(a) Determining the length of the wire

We can get the length of the Nichrome wire by rearranging the equation after substituting equation (ii) in equation (i) as follows:

L=AV2pP=2.6010-6m2(75.0V)25.0010-7惟尘5000W=5.85m

Hence, the length of the wire is 5.85m.

(b) Determining the new length of the Nichrome wire

Using the given data and above length in equation (iii), we can get the value of the new length of the Nichrome wire as follows:

L'=5.85m100V75.0V2=10.4m

Hence, the value of the length of the wire is 10.4m.

The constant force applied by the machine on the package isF=(2.00N)i^+(4.00N)j^+(6.00N)k^. For that displacement, find (a) the work done on the package by the machine鈥檚 force and (b) the average power of the machine鈥檚 force on the package.

A tourist purchases a car in England and ships it home to the United States. The car sticker advertised that the car鈥檚 fuel consumption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. The tourist does not realize that the U.K. gallon differs from the U.S. gallon:

1U.K.gallon=4.5460900liters

1U.S.gallon=3.7854118liters

For a trip of 750 miles (in the United States), how many gallons of fuel does (a) the mistaken tourist believe she needs and (b) the car actually require?
