Three wires of the same diameter are connected in turn between two points maintained at

a constant potential difference. Their resistivities and lengths are r and L (wire A), 1.2r

and 1.2L (wire B), and 0.9r and L (wire C).

a. How does the rate at which energy is transferred to thermal energy vary with the

resistance of the wire? In other words, does the dU/dt increase with increasing

resistance or does it decrease with increasing resistance? Remember, the potential

across each wire is the same. Explain.

b. Using your answer from part (a), rank the wires according to the rate at which

energy is transferred to thermal energy within them, greatest to least.

Acylinder with a movable piston contains 11.7 moles of a monatomic ideal gas at a pressure of 1.32×10^5 pa. the gas is initially at a temperature of 300 k. an electric heater adds 43200 j of energy into the gas while the piston moves in such a way that the pressure remains constant. cp=20.79 j k^−1 mol^−1 for a monatomic ideal gas, and that the number of gas molecules is equal to avogadro's number (6.022×10^23) times the number of moles of the gas. (a) what is the temperature of the gas after the energy is added? (b) what is the change in volume of the gas? (c) how much work is done by the gas during this process?
