Acurrent of 10.8 a flows through an electric heater operating on 220 v. what is the heater's resistance?

20.37Ohms

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this exercise it is fundamental to know the law of OHM, this law indicates that the voltage is equal to the product of the resistance that opposes the passage of energy by current passing through a conductor, the equation is as follows

V=IR

Where

I=current=10.8A

V=voltaje=220V

R=Resistance

solving for R

(75°f − 32) × 5/9 = 23.889°c

answer: the correct answer is 1.

explanation: there are various process in which a radioactive nuclei decays:

1) alpha decay: in this process, a heavier nuclei decays into lighter nuclei by releasing alpha particle. the mass number is reduced by 4 units.

2) electron capture: in this decay process, a parent nuclei absorbs an electron and gets converted into a neutron. simply, a proton and an electron combines together to form a neutron. mass number does not change in this process.

3) gamma ray emission: it is a decay process in which an unstable nuclei gives excess energy by a spontaneous electromagnetic process. this decay releases . this process does not change the mass number.

4) positron emission: it is a type of decay process, in which a proton gets converted to neutron and an electron neutrino. this is also known as -decay. in this the mass number remains same.

from the above information, we see that only alpha-decay is producing a change in the mass number of the nucleus.
