Why do (either positively or negatively) charged balloons (an insulator) hang on a wall (which is also an insulator) if the wall

is neutral?

Answer:

When a charged balloon is brought near a wall which is neutral, it still sticks to the wall because the charged balloon induces the charge in the neutral body.

If the balloon is positively charged, the electrons in the neutral body will be attracted to the balloon causing an imbalance of charges in the neutral body.

Similarly if the balloon is negatively charged, it will attract the protons of the neutral body and will stick to it.

The phenomenon is called induced charge into the neutral body.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: 9.9%

Explanation: efficiency = (work output /work input) × 100

Note that, 1 kilocalorie = 4184 joules, hence 22kcal = 22× 4184 = 92048 joules.

Work output = 9200 j and work input = 92048 j

Efficiency = (9200/92048) × 100 = 0.099 × 100 = 9.9%

Ill mark as brainliest.
rewona [7]

Answer: 75V

Explanation:

Given that,

total resistance (Rtotal) = 150Ω

Current (I) = 0.5A

Change in electric potential (V) = ?

Recall that potential difference is the product of amount of current and the amount of resistance in the circuit. And its unit is volts.

So, apply the formula V = I x Rtotal

V = 0.5A x 150Ω

V = 75V

Thus, the change in electric potential across the circuit is 75 Volts

If you shout at a cliff wall that is 440 m away and the air temperature is at 25 °C, how long will it take before you hear your
ira [324]
The speed of sound at T=25°C is Vs=346 m/s. So the sound has to reach the cliff and return back to you so the path it needs to travel is s=2*440 m = 880 m.
Since the speed of sound is constant s=Vs*t, and t= s/Vs=880/346=2.54335 s. You will hear the echo after t=2.54335 s after you shouted.

Is it possible for a circuit to be connected both in series and in parallel?

Hello There!

Well, technically no. It has to be one or the other, it can't be both.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
