Why does the current is reduced as electrons move through a conductor

1 answer:

3 0

Because the electrons collide with the particles inside the conductor so are therefore slowed down seen as current is the rate of flow of electrons

If C is 1kg and D is 100kg, and the initial velocities of both balls are 5m/s, how would the magnitude of the forces exerted by

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The forces exerted by each mass is best understood in terms of their momentum.

Momentum is a sort of compelling force or impulse. It is given as:

Momentum = mass x velocity

Let us consider the momentum of the balls;

Substance C;

Mass = 1kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of C = 1 x 5 = 5kgm/s

Substance D:

Mass = 100kg

Velocity = 5m/s

Momentum of D = 100kg x 5m/s = 500kgm/s

Body D has a higher momentum compared to Body C. This suggests that body D will exert a higher force than C when they collide.

The higher the momentum, the more the force of impact it has.

Which of the following is a characteristic of electromagnetic waves?

fomenos

Answer:

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of periodic oscillations of electric and magnetic field in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion of the wave (in fact, they are also classified as transverse waves).

Electromagnetic waves have a wave nature, however they also have particle nature - in fact, it has been proved in some experiment (e.g. photoelectric effect) that in some conditions they act as packets of particles - called photons. Therefore, the option

They have a dual wave-particle nature.

is correct.

Other options are wrong because:

They are all invisible. --> False because visible light (which is part of the electromagnetic spectrum, so they are electromagnetic waves) is visible

They can only travel without a medium. --> False because they can also travel in a vacuum

They are slower than sound waves. --> False because they travel much faster (they travel at the speed of light in a vacuum, $c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ , while sound travels at 343 m/s in air, for instance)
