A 120 Vpotential difference is applied to a space heater that dissipates500 Wduring operation. (a) What is its resistance during operation? (b) At what rate do electrons flow through any cross section of the heater element?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The resistance during operation is28.8.
  2. The rate of electron flow through any cross section of the heater element is 2.601019/s.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as:

  • The applied potential difference is V = 120 V.
  • The dissipated power is, P = 500W.
02

Understanding the concept of the resistance and electron transfer rate

In this problem, by using equation (i), we can find the resistance during operation. Using equation (iii) in the formula for the rate of electron transport, we can find the rate of electron flow through any cross-section of the heater element.

Formulae:

The electric power generated during the energy transfer is,

P=V2R 鈥 (i)

The current flowing due to energy transfer is,

i=PV 鈥 (ii)

The rate of electron transport due to the transfer is,

Electrontransportrate=ie 鈥 (iii)

03

(a) Calculation of the resistance during operation

Using the given data in equation (i), we can get the value of the resistance during the operations as follows:

R=V2P

Substitute the values in the above equation.

R=(120V)2500W=28.8

Hence, the value of the resistance is 28.8.

04

(b) Calculation of the electron flow rate

Using equation (ii) in equation (iii) with the given values, we can get the value of the electron flow rate through any cross-section of the heater element as follows:

Electrontransportrate=PeV

Here, e is the electric charge whose value ise=1.6010-19C.

Substitute the values in the above equation.

Electrontransportrate=500W1.6010-19C120V=2.601019/s

Hence, the value of the electron flow rate is 2.601019/s.

The corn鈥揾og ratio is a financial term used in the pig market and presumably is related to the cost of feeding a pig until it is large enough for market. It is defined as the ratio of the market price of a pig with a mass of 3.108 slugs to the market price of a U.S. bushel of corn. (The word 鈥渟lug鈥 is derived from an old German word that means 鈥渢o hit鈥; we have the same meaning for 鈥渟lug鈥 as a verb in modern English.) A U.S. bushel is equal to 35.238 L. If the corn鈥揾og ratio is listed as 5.7 on the market exchange, what is it in the metric units of,
