Correct Answer: Newton's third law
Correct Answer: Solar cell panel
Correct Answer: Pascal?s law
Explanation:
Pascal's law is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere.
This principle is stated mathematically as: P= P + rgh
Correct Answer: > P
Explanation:
Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10?8 ? m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 ?.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.
Correct Answer: scattering of light
Explanation:
According to Rayleigh's law, the intensity of scattered light varies inversely as the fourth power of its wavelength. Sunlight consists of seven colours. Of these, red has the maximum wavelength. During sunrise and sunset, the rays have to travel a larger part of the atmosphere because they are very close to the horizon.Therefore, light other than red is mostly scattered away. Most of the red light, which is the least scattered, enters our eyes. Hence, the sun and the sky appear red.
Correct Answer: Release of heat
Correct Answer: Due to refraction
Correct Answer: Kelvin
Correct Answer: the doped silicon piece will become p-type
Explanation:
p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increasesand resistivity remains the same
Correct Answer: 3P
Explanation:
P= I^2.R where, I= Current, P= Electric Power, R=Resistance. Here all the resistance is put in parallel combination and in parallel combination the value of Resistance decreases and dissipation of power increase, hence 3 times more power will be dissipated(3P).
