Q:

A wire of copper having length I and area of cross-section A is taken and a current / is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

A) P B) < P
C) > P D) 2P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) > P

Explanation:

Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10−8 Ω m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.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.

Q:

Heat energy is transferred by conduction whenever molecules

A) collide each other B) means of photons
C) particles replaces there places D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) collide each other

Explanation:

Heat energy can be transferred by three major methods. They are 

 

1. Conduction,

2. Convection and

3. Radiation.

 

Conduction is the movement of heat through a substance by the collision of molecules

Convection occurs when particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy.

Radiation is the transfer of energy by means of photons in electromagnetic waves governed by the same laws. It occurs through a vacuum or any transparent medium.
