An electric device, which heats water by immersing a resistance wire in the water, generates 20 cal of heat per second when an electric potential difference of 6 V is placed across its leads. What is the resistance in Ω

of the heater wire? (Note: 1 cal = 4.186 J)

Select one:
a. 0.86
b. 0.17
c. 0.29
d. 0.43

Although longitudinal waves can travel through all media types what is the disadvantage of this type of wave transmission? a) he efficiency of he wave transmission is greatly diminished as the media becomes less dense b) the oscillation of one set of particles has a huge impact on neighboring particles c) particles become too close together as they bump into each other making it more likely to hit other particles down the line
