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.

You can easily convert common units and measures electronically, but you still should be able to use a conversion table, such as those in Appendix D. Table 1-6 is part of a conversion table for a system of volume measures once common in Spain; a volume of 1 fanega is equivalent to 55.501 dm3 (cubic decimeters). To complete the table, what numbers (to three significant figures) should be entered in (a) the cahiz column, (b) the fanega column, (c) the cuartilla column, and (d) the almude column, starting with the top blank? Express 7.00 almudes in (e) medios, (f) cahizes, and (g) cubic centimeters (cm3)
