Which physical property explains the difference in ability of copper and rubber to transmit electricity?

1 answer:

3 0

The copper is a conductor and the rubber is an insulator. Conductors allow electricity to be transmitted freely while insulators prevent most of the current from transmitting. The outer electrons of the conductor's atoms are not very stable and are able to freely move around the material. In a material such as copper, the valence electrons are essentially free and strongly repel each other. The atoms of insulators such as rubber, hold tight to their outer electrons which prevents electricity from flowing freely through.

A very long insulating cylinder of charge of radius 2.50 cm carries a uniform linear density of 15.0 nC/m. (

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

r2 = 2.401557 cm

distance = 0.10 cm

Explanation:

given data

radius = 2.50 cm

density = 15.0 nC/m

voltmeter read = 175

solution

we know here potential difference that is express as

ΔV = $\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _o} ln\frac{r2}{r1}$ ...........1

so here

$ln\frac{r2}{r1} = 2\pi \epsilon _o \times \frac{\triangle V}{\lambda }$

as here $\lambda$ is linear charge density

$\frac{r2}{r1} = e^{2\pi \epsilon _o \times \frac{\triangle V}{\lambda }}$

r2 = r1 × $e^{2\pi \epsilon _o \times \frac{\triangle V}{\lambda }}$

r2 = 2.40 × $e^{2\pi 8.85\times 10^{-12} \times \frac{175}{15\times 10^{-6} }}$

r2 = 2.401557 cm

and

here distance above surface will be

distance = r1 - r2

distance = 2.50 - 2.40

distance = 0.10 cm

A solution is a homogeneous mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent. A specific volume of solvent is only able to

Luba_88 [7]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. Supersaturated

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Solutions are homogeneous mixtures that are created by mixing a solute and a solvent. Solute is the substance present in smaller amounts that dissolves in a solvent such as water which is the substance present in larger amount.
A solution, can be<u> unsaturated, saturated or supersaturated. An unsaturated solution</u> is a solution that contains less solute that can be dissolved, it doesn't contain the maximum amount of solute.
<u>A saturated solution</u> is a solution containing the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. Any additional solute will remain undissolved in the container.
<u>A supersaturated solution</u> is a solution created when a solution is carefully cooled because it contains more solute than the solubility allows.

Every year, new records in track and field events are recorded. Let's take an historic look back at some exciting races.

Hitman42 [59]

First we need to turn Aouita's time for the race into seconds. There are 60 seconds in a minute, so 7 minutes and 29.45 seconds is (7 x 60) + 29.45 = 449.45. He ran 3000 meters in that time, so his average speed was 3000 meters divided by 449.45 seconds. 3000 / 449.45 = 6.67 m/s. So, on average, he covered 6.67 meters (more than 21 feet!) during each second of the race.

There is a simple pattern for determining if a binary number is odd. what is it and why does this pattern occur

frez [133]

The answer to this question would be the least number (right most number).

If you add an even number with even number, the result should be even. But if there is just one odd number added, it will be odd.
In binary, all the number is multiplied by $2^{x}$ . It is pretty clear that all the number should be even beside the first/lowest multiplier $2^{0}$ which has potential to be 1.
