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.

scoray [572]
The answer is: Mouse/Herbivore.

First organism is always a producer (plant) such as grass.
The 2nd organism is the first level or primary consumer. Ex. Mouse - It eats the producer, so it is a herbivore.

Yanka [14]

Answer:

4.7 m³

Explanation:

We'll use the gas law P1 • V1 / T1 = P2 • V2 / T2

* Givens :

P1 = 101 kPa , V1 = 2 m³ , T1 = 300.15 K , P2 = 40 kPa , T2 = 283.15 K

( We must always convert the temperature unit to Kelvin "K")

* What we want to find :

V2 = ?

* Solution :

101 × 2 / 300.15 = 40 × V2 / 283.15

V2 × 40 / 283.15 ≈ 0.67

V2 = 0.67 × 283.15 / 40

V2 ≈ 4.7 m³
