Answer:

Control rods

Explanation:

Control rods is unique to nuclear power plants as they are mainly used in nuclear reactors to stabilize the rate of fission of plutonium or uranium. They are usually composed of chemical elements such as cadmium, silver, boron, and indium.

Answer:

Control rods

Explanation:

Control rods are used to control the rate of nuclear chain reaction in nuclear reactors. The reactivity of the nuclear reactor is greatly affected by the distance of control rods inserted and number of control rods inserted. Control rods control the rate of fission of uranium, etc., in a nuclear reactor

Which statements are true for two oppositely charged, isolated parallel plates: C=capacitance, U=stored energy (Q and -Q = charg
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) True. The stored energy (U) is proportional to the electric field strength (E). The electric field strength decreases when a dielectric is introduced hence inserting a dielectric decreases U.

2) False. From the formula C=\frac{Q}{V}=\frac{Q}{Vd}, capacitance is inversely proportional to distance hence if the distance is doubled, capacitance decreases.

3) False. As the distance between the electric field and the object increases, its electric field decreases.

4) False. If a dielectric is inserted, the plates are further separated. Q stays the same.

5) True. The electric field strength decreases when a dielectric is introduced and  capacitance is inversely proportional to electric field hence Inserting a dielectric increases C

6) True. If a dielectric is inserted, the plates are further separated. Q stays the same.

7) True. When the distance is doubled, U increases
