How is the air pressure in a tightly sealed house affected by operating the furnace? Explain.

Answer to Problem 1CQ
Explanation of Solution
Write the expression for ideal gas equation.
Here,
Since the furnace is operated in the tightly sealed house due to which the temperature in the tightly sealed house is increased and the volume is constant
From ideal gas equation, it is seen that the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.
So the air pressure is increased in the tightly sealed house.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the air pressure increases in the tightly sealed house by operating the furnace due to the increase in the temperature.

- A capacitor with a capacitance of C = 5.95×10−5 F is charged by connecting it to a 12.5 −V battery. The capacitor is then disconnected from the battery and connected across an inductor with an inductance of L = 1.55 H . At the time 2.35×10−2 s after the connection to the inductor is made, what is the current in the inductor? At that time, how much electrical energy is stored in the inductor?arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question. Thanks.arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this question.
