Why is current a scalar quantity?

Physics
1 answer:
Nutka1998 [239]3 years ago
5 0
Despite current has a magnitude and a direction, like vectors, it is a scalar because it doesn't obey laws of vector addition. For instance, if we  consider a junction of 90^{\circ} in a circuit, and two currents entering this junction, we know that the resultant current is just the algebraic sum of the two currents, not the vector sum, so it is not a vector quantity.

Photoelectrons with a maximum speed of 7.00 · 105 m/s are ejected from a surface in the presence of light with a frequency of 8.
lord [1]
This is just testing your ability to recall that kinetic energy is given by: 

<span>k.e. = ½mv² </span>

<span>where m is the mass and v is the velocity of the particle. </span>

<span>The frequency of the light is redundant information. </span>

<span>Here, you are given m = 9.1 * 10^-31 kg and v = 7.00 * 10^5 m/s. </span>
<span>Just plug in the values: </span>

<span>k.e. = ½ * 9.1 * 10^-31 * (7.00 * 10^5)² </span>
<span>k.e. = 2.23 * 10^-19 J 
so it will be d:2.2*10^-19 J</span>

Russia shut off the nord stream pipeline that supplies which nation with natural gas?.
Katyanochek1 [597]

Russia shut off the Nord Stream pipeline that supplies natural gas to Germany.

What is the Nord Stream pipeline?

A pair of offshore natural gas pipeline systems in Europe called Nord Stream cross the Baltic Sea from Russia to Germany. It consists of the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines, both of which originate in northwest Russia, near Finland, in Vyborg and Ust-Luga, respectively. Both pipelines travel to Lubmin in the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state of northeastern Germany.

Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, certification for Nord Stream 2 has been rejected. When referring to a larger network of pipelines, such as the feeding onshore pipeline in Russia and additional connections in Western Europe, the term "Nord Stream" is sometimes used.

Nord Stream joins the NEL pipeline to Rehden near Bremen in northwestern Germany and the OPAL pipeline to Olbernhau in eastern Germany at the Czech border in Lubmin.

Thus, the Nord Stream pipeline supplies natural gas to Germany.

Light as a wave: light can diffract & refract

Light as a particle: photoelectric effect, Compton scattering

Matter as a wave: Davisson-Germer experiment

Matter as a particle: find a picture of any kinematics problem in a high school physics textbook
