Question
Chapter 15, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Choose the correct option.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The correct option is “c. Charles’s law.”
Explanation of Solution
Reason:
Boyle’s law explains that if temperature of any gas is kept constant, the volume occupied by the gas has reciprocal variation with the absolute pressure of the gas.
Hooke’s law explains that the strain in any solid fluctuates with the fluctuating elastic limit of the solid.
Charles’s law explains that when pressure of a certain gas is taken constant, the total volume of the gas changes with the change in the absolute temperature of that gas.
Therefore, option c is correct, and other options are incorrect.
Conclusion:
Hence, the correct option is “c. Charles’s law.”

Suppose there are two transformers between your house and the high-voltage transmission line
that distributes the power. In addition, assume your house is the only one using electric power. At
a substation the primary of a step-down transformer (turns ratio = 1:23) receives the voltage
from the high-voltage transmission line. Because of your usage, a current of 51.1 mA exists in the
primary of the transformer. The secondary is connected to the primary of another step-down
transformer (turns ratio = 1:36) somewhere near your house, perhaps up on a telephone pole.
The secondary of this transformer delivers a 240-V emf to your house. How much power is your
house using? Remember that the current and voltage given in this problem are rms values.
The human eye is most sensitive to light having a frequency of about 5.5 × 1014 Hz, which is in the
