What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire

1 answer:

7 0

You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".

A hockey puck wont slide very far on concrete or asphalt, but it will slide for a very long time on ice. Why is this?

Ilya [14]

When hockey players push the puck along the ice it slides causing heat which melts the ice causing the friction against the ice to be less.

If a compound has a very low melting and boiling point, it is likely that the compound possesses mainly which type of intermolec

sergejj [24]

For the given question above, I think there is an associated choice of answer for it. However, the answer for this is London Dispersion Forces. <span>Dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding are much stronger, leading to higher melting and boiling points.</span>

An automobile rounds a curve of radius 50.0 m on a flat road.

bixtya [17]

Answer:

14m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Radius of the curve = 50m

Centripetal acceleration = 3.92m/s²

Unknown:

Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?

Solution:

The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.

It is given as;

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

r is the radius

Now insert the parameters and find v;

v² = ar

v² = 3.92 x 50 = 196

v = √196 = 14m/s

Which statement correctly differentiates between transmitters and receivers?

jeka94

Answer:

Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

(1).Transmitters have antennas, and receivers do not have antennas.

Nope. To send signals transmitters need antennas, and to receive signals the receivers need antennas as well.

(2). Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

This is true. Transmitters are for transmitting and receivers are for receiving EM signals.

(3). Transmitters have demodulators, and receivers have modulators.

No, it is the other way around. Transmitters have modulators, and receivers have demodulators.

(4). Transmitters do not have amplifiers, and receivers have amplifiers.

Nope. Both the transmitters and the receivers need amplifiers. Transmitters need them to increase the power of the broadcast, and receivers need them to amplify the signal for processing.

Therefore, only the 2nd statement "Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves." is correct.

Energy transformations when you cook sausages on a campfire burning wood

Rina8888 [55]

<span>Actually in this case heat energy is being transferred. Heat energy or thermal energy is transferred from the burning of wood to the sausages for it to be cooked. The sausage is being heated by the fire and is absorbing the heat or thermal energy.</span>
