The back-and-forth movement of electrons is called alternating current. Electrons go back and forth, the direction of their path alternates from one direction to another.

the movement of electrons in one direction is called direct current. The electrons move in a direct, single path without changing directions.

A conducting sphere 45 cm in diameter carries an excess of charge, and no other charges are present. You measure the potential o
uysha [10]

Answer:

The excess charge is Q  = 3.5 *10^{-7} \ C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The diameter is d = 45 \ cm  =  0.45 \ m

       The potential of the surface is V =  14 \ kV   =  14 *10^{3} \ V

     

The radius of the sphere is  

           r = \frac{d}{2}

substituting values

          r = \frac{0.45}{2}

         r = 0.225 \ m

The potential on the surface is mathematically represented as  

          V  =  \frac{k  *  Q  }{r }

Where k is coulomb's constant with value  k  =  9*10^{9}  \ kg\cdot m^3\cdot s^{-4} \cdot A^{-2}.

  given from the question that there is no other charge the Q is the excess charge  

Thus  

        Q  =  \frac{V* r}{ k}

substituting values

        Q  =  \frac{14 *10^{3}  0.225}{ 9*10^9}

        Q  = 3.5 *10^{-7} \ C

A cold block of metal feels colder than a block of wood at the same temperature. Why? A hot block of metal feels hotter than a b
tino4ka555 [31]

: In general, metals feel colder or hotter to the touch than other materials at the same temperature because they're good thermal conductors. This means they easily transfer heat to colder objects or absorb heat from warmer objects

A large lightning bolt is observed to have a 19500 A current and move 36 C of charge. What was its duration?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms

Explanation:

The intensity of electric current I is defined as the amount of electric charge Q (measured in Coulombs) that passes through a section of a conductor in each unit of time. The letter I is used to name the Intensity and its unit is the Ampere (A).

The intensity of electric current is expressed as:

I=\frac{Q}{t}

where:

I: Intensity expressed in Amps (A)

Q: Electric charge expressed in Coulombs (C)

t: Time expressed in seconds (s)

Being:

  • I= 19500 A
  • Q=36 C
  • t=?

Replacing:

19500 A=\frac{36 C}{t}

Solving:

19500 A*t= 36 C

t=\frac{36 C}{19500 A}

t= 1.85*10⁻³ s= 1.85 ms (being 1 s= 1,000 ms)

<u><em>Its duration is 1.85*10⁻³ s or 1.85 ms</em></u>
