Answer:

Explanation:

15 ) Current_rms = Peak current / √2

= 6 / √2

= 4.24 A

Voltage_rms = 4.1 / √2

= 2.9 v

Average power = Voltage_rms x Current_rms

= 2.9 x 4.24

= 12.3 W

16 ) R₂ = 2R₁

Resistance of a material changes due to change in resistivity of material .

So resistivity ρ₂ will also be twice resistivity ρ₁

ρ₂ = 2ρ₁

2ρ₁ = ρ₁ ( 1 + .0035 t ) where t is rise in temperature.

1 = .0035 t

t = 1 / .0035

= 285.7 ⁰ C
