How do you know when electric current is flowing in a lightbulb circuit?

1 answer:

7 0

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Answer:

$1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area = $6\times 10^{-9}\ m^2$

d = Thickness = $1.6\times 10^{-8}\ m$

k = Dielectric constant = 5.4

V = Voltage = 86.2 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon\dfrac{A}{d}V\\\Rightarrow Q=5.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times \dfrac{6\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-8}}\times 86.2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

The charge on the outer surface is $1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

Why is physical science important

Murrr4er [49]

"Traditionally, physical science courses are categorized into four areas: physics, chemistry, earth sciences, and space sciences. It is important to understand that the arbitrary divisions of specialized knowledge are integrated into a basic overview of the physical laws that govern our universe." - Cameron University

Why do you think the speed of sound is higher<br> in solids, than liquids and gases?

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Particles of a solid are closely packed, and when a solid is hit to produce a sound the kinetic energy present in the solid will cause the particles to vibrate vigorously in the intermolecular spaces in the solid, whereas the paticles of liquids and gases are rather further apart therefore having large intermolecular spaces between particles.
