A radioactive element undergoes decay via the loss of two alpha particles to form a stable daughter isotope. Following the decay

, what would the atomic number of this newly created stable isotope be?

Answer:

Atomic number of the daughter isotope = (Atomic number of the parent isotope) - 4

Explanation:

An alpha particle has atomic number of 2 and a mass number of 4

Losing two alpha particles would lead to a reduction of 4 in atomic number and 8 in mass number for the radioactive isotope, to give the stable daughter isotope.

When the voltage across a steady resistance is doubled, the current?
natima [27]

I'm actually going ahead in the book (DC Circuits) so this isn't really homework but I figured the tag was appropriate....the name of the chapter is Ohm's Law and Watt's Law.

<span>Problem: Calculate the power dissipated in the load resistor, R, for each of the circuits.Circuit (a): V = 10V; I = 100mA; R = ?; Since I know V and I use formula P = IV: P = IV = (100mA)(10V) = 1 W.</span>

The next question is what I'm not sure about:

Question: What is the power in the circuit (a) above if the voltage is doubled? (Hint: Consider the effect on current).

What I did initially was: P = IV = (100mA)(2V) = 2 W

But then I looked at the answer and it said 4 W, then I looked at the Hint again. Then I remembered in the book early on it said "If the voltage increases across a resistor, current will increase."

So question is: When solving problems I have to increase (or decrease) current (I) every time voltage (V) is increased (decreased) in a problem, right? How about the other way around, when increasing current (I), you need to increase voltage (V). I'm pretty sure that's how they got 4 W, but want to make sure before I head to the next section of the book.

P = IV = (200mA)(2V) = 4 W

Vadim26 [7]

Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.

<h3>How Fog banks formed?</h3>

Fog banks form at sea where cool air moves quickly over the surface of the ocean that is warm. The cool incoming air lowers the temperature of the air just above the water surface and water vapor condenses into fog.

So we can conclude that Fog bank formation occurs when the moisture in the cooled air condenses, forming a thick fog.
