A fuse in an electric circuit is a wire that is designed to melt, and thereby open the circuit, if the current exceeds a predetermined value. Suppose that the material to be used in a fuse melts when the current density rises to 420 A/cm2. What diameter of cylindrical wire should be used to limit the current to 0.65 A

The solar panels used by mark function because of the photoelectric effect. light shines on the cells causing electrons to be ejected from the metal, which produces an electric current. at night on mars, no light will fall on the solar cells and no electric current will be generated. according to your notes, what type of light is typically needed to cause the photoelectric effect? a)visible b)ultraviolet c)infrared

A2.0 μf capacitor and a 4.0 μf capacitor are connected in series across a 0.827-kv potential. the charged capacitors are then disconnected from the source and connected to each other with terminals of like sign together. find the voltage across each capacitor.

What would occur if the index of refraction of a material was less than n=1? the speed of light would increase to a speed larger than the maximum speed of light in a vacuum. the light wave would not bend at all though the material. the light wave would not be able to refract and would instead reflect off of the material. the speed of light would reduce to values close to 0 m/s.
