Answer:

Galvanometer

Explanation:

The device used to detect and measure current and voltage in a circuit is known as a galvanometer. It is based on the principle that a current carrying coil rotates which is suspended in a magnetic field.

Torque acts when a current carrying coil is kept in a magnetic field. It makes the needle of the galvanometer to deflect. The galvanometer is used as ammeter when a low resistance is connected in parallel and as voltmeter when high resistance is connected in series.

A wave has a length of 8 meters and a speed of 32 meters per second. What is the frequency of the wave

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The frequency of wave is 4 hertz.

Explanation:

Given,

wave length = 8m

speed of sound ( v) = 32 m/s

frequency ( f) = ?

we know,

v = f × lambda

or, 32 = f × 8

or, f = 32/8

or, f = 4 Hertz.

When two point charges are a distance d apart, the magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is F. If the distance betwe

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electrostatic force decreases by a factor 9

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charges is given by:

$F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1 and q2 are the two charges

d is the distance between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. If the distance is increased to 3d: d' = 3d, the new electrostatic force would be:

$F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(d')^2}=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(3d)^2}=\frac{1}{9} k\frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{9}$
