The main offenders in terms of greenhouse gas emissions are Asia and Oceania.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Greenhouse gases cause the greenhouse effect. The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and ozone.

Asia is Earth's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the Eastern and Northern Hemispheres. Whereas Oceania is a geographic region that includes Australasia, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.  

Asia includes: Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Mongolia, Philippines, Sri Lanka and Vietnam. Asia has three main financial centers: Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore.

Oceania countries are: Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu

Currently, most of factories that exist in the world are established within Asian and Oceanian region because they have good supply of cheap labours. For example, China was initially one of the lowest labour cost countries known.  They produce the largest amount of pollutant which contain CO2 that contributed greatly to the greenhouse effects.

Hope it helps

The main offenders of greenhouse gas emissions are \boxed{{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{, C}}{{\text{H}}_4}{\text{, }}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}{\text{, }}{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O, CFCs, HCFCs}}}  and the offenders in terms of countries are \boxed{{\text{China, United States, India,}}\;{\text{Russia, Brazil, Germany, United Kingdom}}}  

Further explanation:

Greenhouse Effect:

It is the process in which radiations are absorbed by some gases present in the atmosphere and are not reflected back into space. This results in the insulation of the earth’s surface and prevents it from freezing.

During the day, the earth’s atmosphere gets heated up due to the heat of the sun. But at night, earth surface cools down and heat is emitted back into the atmosphere. During this complete process, some heat is also absorbed by greenhouse gases present in the earth’s atmosphere. This leads to increase in temperature of earth to a very high level that causes several devastating effects.  

Causes of greenhouse effect:

1. Deforestation

2. Burning of fossil fuels

3. Industrial waste and landfills

4. Increased use of chemical fertilizers

5. Greenhouse gases

Greenhouse gases:

These are the gases that absorb and emit infrared radiations in the wavelength range that is emitted by the earth. Major greenhouse gases are as follows:

• Carbon dioxide  \left({{\text{C}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}\right)

• Ozone \left({{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}}\right)  

• Methane \left({{\text{C}}{{\text{H}}_{\text{4}}}}\right)

• Nitrous oxide \left({{{\text{N}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}\right)

• Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

• Hydrofluorocarbons (HCFCs)

• Water vapors \left({{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}\right)

Consequences of greenhouse effect on the environment:

1. Global warming

2. Ozone layer depletion

3. Air pollution

4. Acidification of water bodies

China, the United States, Russia, Brazil, India, Germany, and the United Kingdom are the major contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. All these countries are collectively responsible for more than 60 % of total global warming prevalent on the earth.

Scientific knowledge is generally considered to have a positive effect on society. In which situation would scientific knowledge
attashe74 [19]
Scientific knowledge itself cannot have a positive or negative impact on society per se. What can have a negative or positive impact is how this knowledge is being used. 

While we all enjoy a beter life due to advancements in medicine and technology for example, this was because people decided they would put certain scientific discoveries into practice and spread them among the people.

The same thing can also be said for negative scientific discoveries. While energy produced in atomic power plants per se isn't harmful, when making an atomic bomb out of it, it can be disastrous. It was the intention of doing something evil with it that might have had a negative impact on society, not the knowledge itself.

3.50 µf capacitor has a charge with a magnitude of 4.50 µC on each parallel plate. Find the potential difference between the pla
n200080 [17]

Answer:

b) 1.29 V

Explanation:

Potential Difference: This is the work done when one coulomb of charge moves from one point to another in an electric field

The expression for the potential difference is

Q = CV .................... Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, C = Capacitance of the capacitor, V = potential difference.

Making V the subject of the equation,

V = Q/C................. Equation 2

Given: Q = 4.5  µC = 4.5×10⁻⁶ C, C = 3.5  µF = 3.5×10⁻⁶ F

Substituting into equation 2

V = 4.5×10⁻⁶ /3.5×10⁻⁶

V = 1.2857 V

V ≈ 1.29 V.

Hence the right option is  b) 1.29 V
