To understand the behavior of the electric field at the surface of a conductor, and its relationship to surface charge on the co

nductor. A conductor is placed in an external electrostatic field. The external field is uniform before the conductor is placed within it. The conductor is completely isolated from any source of current or charge.Which of the following describes the electricfield inside this conductor?
a. It is in thesame direction as the original external field.
b. It is in theopposite direction from that of the original externalfield.
c. It has adirection determined entirely by the charge on itssurface.
d. It is alwayszero.

Answer:

D. It is always zero

Explanation:

When studying electrostatics, it was found that free charges that resided in the conductor are always zero. The best free charges resided more on the surface of the conductor, this implies that the field in the conductor could only be determined by the charges on the surface of the conductor which must be a uniform distribution. Since the conductor was completely isolated from the source of current or charge, it means the charge in the conductor is zero.

What does the ideal gas law allow a scientist to calculate that the other gas laws do not?
Anvisha [2.4K]

The ideal gas law allows a scientist to calculate the number of moles that the other gas laws do not. The ideal gas law is given as

P V = n RT

rearranging the equation by dividing both side by "RT", we get

PV/(RT) = nRT/(RT)

n = PV/(RT)

inserting the values of pressure, volume and temperature, we get number of moles.

It took Eric 11 hours to drive to a football game. On the way home, he was able to increase his average speed by 12mph and make
yarga [219]

Answer:

54mph

Explanation:

Speed is defined as the change in distance of a body with respect to time.

Let x be the speed of Eric on his way to the football game, if he used 11hours to the football game, his distance will be the product of his speed and time taken i.e

Distance = speed × time

Distance= x × 11

Distance = 11x... (1)

During his return journey, his speed increases by 12mph with a return drive in only 9hours i.e speed = x+12 and time is 9hours

Since distance = speed × time (return Journey)

Distance = (x+12)×9

Distance = 9x+84...(2)

Note that the distance to and fro the journey is the same as such we will equate equations 1 and 2 to get his initial speed "x" to have;

11x = 9x+84

11x-9x = 84

2x = 84

x = 42mph

This means that his initial speed on his way to the football game is 42mph. Since his speed increases by 12mph during his return drive, his return speed will be 42mph + 12mph which gives 54mph.
