The "dielectric strength" is the electric field magnitude at which a substance begins to spark. Air begins to conduct or spark w

To solve this problem we will use two given concepts. The electric field in an atom and the electric field in the air. The first is a theoretical case whose value will be brought up while the second is given by the statement. We will divide the values and compare the proportion to obtain the respective conclusions. The electric field in an atom is

E = 5.75*10^{11}n/c

Dialectic strength of air is given as

E_d = 3*10^6 N/C

Hence the electric field in an atom cannot be less than the dialectic field strenth of air

Divide E and E_d, we have

\frac{E}{E_d} = \frac{5.75*10^{11}}{3*10^6}

E = (1.91*10^5)e_D

Thus the electric field of an atom is within and order of 10^5 the dialectic strength of air instead of factor 10^{10}

<em>Therefore the electric field in an atom is greater than the dialectic field strenth of air</em>

Which of the following are properties of acids?
vladimir2022 [97]
The properties of acids are: (A), (C) and (D).

Explanation:
Acids taste sour, and most acids are poisonous. Furthermore, acids react with certain metals to produce hydrogen gas. Few acids are corrosive as well. The option (B) is not valid because acids react with BASES (not with other acids) to produce salt and water. Hence A, C and D are the correct options.

Two long, straight parallel wires 8.2 cm apart carry currents of equal magnitude I. The parallel wires repel each other with a f
o-na [289]

Answer:

36.22 mA

Explanation:

i1 = I , i2 = I, d = 8.2 cm = 0.082 m

Force per unit length = 3.2 nN/m = 3.2 x 10^-9 N/m

μo = 4 π × 10^-7 Tm/A

The formula for the force per unit length between the two wires is given by

F = μo / 4π x (2 i1 x i2) / d

3.2 x 10^-9 = 10^-7 x 2 x I^2 / 0.082

I = 0.0362 A = 36.22 mA

The expression below was formed by combining different gas laws.
kap26 [50]

Answer:

Avogadro's law.

Explanation:

Avogadro’s law states that, equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.

Mathematically,

V n

V = Kn where V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; n = number of moles of gas;

K = mathematical constant.

The ideal gas equation is a combination of Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro’s law.

V 1/P at constant temperature (Boyle’s law)

V T at constant pressure ( Charles’law)

V n at constant temperature and pressure ( Avogadro’s law )

Combining the equations yields,

V nT/P

Introducing a constant,

V = nRT/P

PV = nRT

Where P = pressure in atm, Pa, torr, mmHg or Nm-2; V = volume in cm3, dm3, ml or L; T = temperature in Kelvin; n = number of moles of gas in mol; R = molar gas constant = 0.082 dm3atmK-1mol-1

Simon is riding a bike at 12 km/h away from his friend Keesha.He throws a ball at 5 km/h back to Keesha, who is standing still o
Tems11 [23]

I notice that even though we're working with frames of reference
here, you never said which frame the '5 km/hr' is measured in.

In fact !  You didn't even say which frame the '12 km/hr' of his
bike is measured in.

So there are several different ways this could go.  I'll do it the way
I THINK you meant it, but that doesn't guarantee anything.

-- Simon is riding his bike at 12 km/hr relative to the sidewalk,
away from Keesha.

-- He throws a ball at Keesha, at 5 km/hr relative to his own face.

-- Keesha sees the ball approaching her at (12 - 5) = 7 km/hr
relative to the ground and to her.
