Explain why a transformer is used in electrical power lines.

Power stations use step-down transformers to decrease the voltage of the electrical output. The power lines have a constant resistance (say, R Ohms) which means there is a power loss across the lines give...

Explain why the pressure exerted by a gas increases as they are heated at constant volume, with references to the kinetic theory of gases.

The kinetic theory models gas particles as points moving around with a given velocity. Heating the particles causes the transfer of heat energy, which is then used to increase the particles kinetic energy...

How do you use a Variable Resistor to determine values to show the relationship between I and V?

As a variable resistor's resistance can be changed, we can therefore change the current in the circuit. This will be according to Ohms Law, as a simple resistor is a Ohmic Conductor.

So if we set u...

Why does a body engaged in uniform circular motion do no work?

It does no work because there its displacement from the center of its circular trajectory remains constant throughout the entirety of its motion. Therefore, by definition, the work done, i.e. distance tra...

What is gravitational potential energy? Why is it negative?

We define gravitational potential as: the work done to bring a small "test" mass from infinity to a point. But what does this truly mean?

  1. The "work done" is simply the...
