Answer:

1.25 \cdot 10^8 m/s

Explanation:

The speed of light through a medium is given by:

v=\frac{c}{n}

where

c = 3 \cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light through vacuum

n is the index of refraction of the material

In this case, diamond has a refractive index of n = 2.4, so the speed of light in diamond is

v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.4}=1.25\cdot 10^8 m/s

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

\rho=1.8\times 10^{-8}\Omega.m

Explanation:

Given:

width of the wire, w=1.8\ mm=1.8\times 10^{-3}\ m

thickness of the flat wire, d=0.12\ mm=1.2\times 10^{-4}

length of the wire, l=12\ m

voltage across the wire, V=12\ V

current through the wire, I=12\ A

Now the net resistance of the wire:

using ohm's law

R=\frac{V}{I}

R=\frac{12}{12}

R=1\ \Omega

We have the relation between the resistivity and the resistance as:

R=\rho.\frac{l}{a}

where:

a = cross sectional area of the wire

\rho = resistivity of the wire material

1=\rho\times \frac{12}{1.8\times 10^{-3}\times 1.2\times 10^{-4}}

\rho=1.8\times 10^{-8}\Omega.m

Uma carga puntiforme de + 3,0uC é colocada em um ponto P de um campo elétrico gerado por uma partícula eletrizada com carga desc
expeople1 [14]

Responda:

1) E = 6 × 10 ^ 6NC ^ -1 2) Q = 6 × 10 ^ -5

Explicação:

Dado o seguinte:

Carga (q) = 3uC = 3 × 10 ^ -6C

Força elétrica (Fe) = 18N

Intensidade do campo elétrico (E) =?

1)

Lembre-se:

Força elétrica (Fe) = carga (q) * Intensidade do campo elétrico (E)

Fe = qE; E = Fe / q

E = 18N / (3 × 10 ^ -6C)

E = 6N / 10 ^ -6C

E = 6 × 10 ^ 6NC ^ -1

2)

Lembre-se:

E = kQ / r ^ 2

E = intensidade do campo elétrico

Q = carga de origem

r = distância de espera = 30cm = 30/100 = 0,3m

K = 9,0 × 10 ^ 9

6 × 10 ^ 6 = (9,0 × 10 ^ 9 * Q) / 0,3 ^ 2

9,0 × 10 ^ 9 * Q = 6 × 10 ^ 6 * 0,09

Q = 0,54 × 10 ^ 6 / 9,0 × 10 ^ 9

Q = 0,06 × 10 ^ (6-9)

Q = 0,06 × 10 ^ -3

Q = 6 × 10 ^ -5 = 60 × 10 ^ -6 = 60μC
