    ASSESSMENT 2 – MINOR TEST


    Heather Collins – 14016028

    Question 1:
    1) Energy is what makes change happen and can be transferred from one object to another. It can
    also be transferred from one form to another. It is measured in Joules or watt-seconds.
    Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. Power quantity is not storable, and it cannot be
    transformed from one type to another. It is measured in Watt or Joules per second.

    2) An insulator is defined as the materials which do not allow the electric current or heat to pass
    through it. The covalent bond between the atoms is very strong, thus electrons do not move
    freely. Its resistivity is very high.
    A conductor is defined as the material which allows the electric current or heat to pass through
    it. The electrons move freely from atom to atom when the potential difference is applied across
    them.

    3) Efficiency is defined as the ability to achieve an end result with little to no waste, effort or
    energy.

    4) Resistivity is the resistance per unit length and cross-sectional area. It is the property of the
    material that opposes the flow of charge or the flow of electric current. It is measured in ohm.

    Question 2:
    V = I.R R=?
    240 = 12 x R I = 12A
    240
    R= 12
    V = 240V
    = 20Ω t = 20 hours
    P=?
    P = V.I
    = 240 x 12
    = 2880 W

    1 kW = 1000W
    2880
    = 1000
    = 2,88 Kw x 20 hours
    = 57,6 kWh
    Question 3:
    a = 𝜋𝑟 2
    122
    =𝜋 2
    = 36π 𝑚𝑚2
    = 36π x 10−6 𝑚2

    𝑃𝑥𝑙
    R= 𝑎
    (1,7×10−8 Ω𝑚)(1200𝑚)
    =
    36𝜋 × 10−6 𝑚2
    1,7 × 106×1200
    =
    108 ×36𝜋
    = 0,180Ω

    Question 4:
    𝑅20 1+∝ (20)
    𝑅90
    = 1+∝0 (90) 𝑅20 = 200Ω
    0
    0,004
    ∝0 = °𝐶
    𝑅20 (1 + 90 ∝0 )
    ∴ 𝑅90 =
    (1 + 20 ∝0 )
    200[(1+90(0,004)]
    =
    [(1+20(0,004)]
    200(1+0,36)
    = (1+0,08)
    200(1,36)
    = 1,08
    = 251,85Ω
