Answer:

n an electrometer, it is built in such a way that its resistance in parallel is extremely high

Ground in a circuit is a reference point from which voltages are measured

all the instruments must be grounded and we must ground ourselves

Explanation:

When you build a voltmeter you have a resistance in parallel with the galvanometer, therefore when measuring the voltage of a circuit, so that there is no effect (load effect) by the voltmeter, a resistance must be much greater than the resistance where it is is measuring.

In an electrometer, it is built in such a way that its resistance in parallel is extremely high in the order of 10¹²Ω, so its load effect is very small and can be measured with high resistance mu

Electric ground in home and industrial installations is a protection system consisting of a metal piece connected to a buried ground electrode.

Ground in a circuit is a reference point from which voltages are measured and is common to all parts of the circuit

In an experiment where an electrometer is used, all the instruments must be grounded and we must ground ourselves, since it must be an instrument where very small voltages are measured at high impedances.

In a controlled experiment, a scientist is studying how long it takes feathers of different sizes to fall to the ground. What is
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: independent variable: Size of the feather.

Explanation:

In an experiment, the manipulated/independent variable is, as the name implies, the variable that the scientist can control.

In this case, the scientist has only one variable that he can control at will, and this is the size of the feather (he can choose which feather he uses for the experiment)

So the manipulated variable will be the size of the feather.

And the dependent variable is the one that "answers" to the changes in the manipulated variable.

In this case, will be the time that it takes to the feather to fall to the ground.
