Calculate the heat capacity of a gas sample from the following information : The sample comes to equilibrium in a flask at 298.15 K and 121.3 kPa. A stopcock is opened briefly, allowing pressure to drop to 101.3 kPa. With the stopcock closed, the flask warms, returning to 298.15 K, and the pressure is measured as 104.0 kPa. Determine Cp in J/mol K assuming the gas to be ideal and the expansion of the gas remaning in the flask to be reversible and adiabatic.

Find the current in the primary : A transformer is to be used to provide power for a computer disk drive that needs 6.0 V (rms) instead of the 120 V (rms) from the wall outlet. The number of turns in the primary is 420, and it delivers 500 mA (the secondary current) at an output v..

Needed to produce such a field at the center of the loop : The magnetic field of the brain has been measured to be approximately 3.0 x 10^-12 T. Although the currents that cause this field are quite complicated, we can get a rough estimate of their size by modeling them as a single circular current loop 1..
