Explanation:
Electromagnetic waves are different from sound or water waves in such a way that water and sound waves are called mechanical waves that requires a material medium for their propagation.
Electromagnetic waves do no require a material medium for propagation.
- Electromagnetic waves are carried or transported by radiation and this can be passed through vacuums and different other materials.
- But mechanical waves such as water and sound waves requires a material medium for their propagation.
- They cannot pass through a vacuum.
Answer:
The change in the charge on the positve plate when the Teflon is inserted is +2.5 nC.
Explanation:
- It can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor, can be expresssed as follows:
- Where ε, is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between plates.
- When this space is filled with air, ε= ε₀ = 8,85*10⁻¹² F/m.
- At the same time, the capacitance of a capacitor, by definition, is as follows:
- If we insert a Teflon slab, in such a way that fills completely the gap between the plates, all other parameters being equal, if ε = 2*ε₀, this means that C₂ = 2* C₁. = 50 pF
- As V₂=V₁ (due to the capacitor remains connected to the same battery) the charge must be the double, so Q₂ = 2* Q₁ = 5 nC.
- So, the change in the charge of the positive plate is +2.5 nC.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).
Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).
Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.
Answer:
Distance cover in 2 hour = 6 kilometer
Explanation:
Given equation:
x = 2t - 10
where
x = kilometer
t = hour
Find:
Distance cover in 2 hour
Computation:
T = 2
So,
x = 2t - 10
x = 2(2) - 10
x = 4 - 10
x = -6
Distance cover in 2 hour = 6 kilometer
Answer:
Cabinets are made to open one at a time so that there's not much of space taken up when all the drawers are open. Hope this helps.
