Thank you for posting you question here. I think the question is incomplete. I manage to check the complete question elsewhere:

A 0.0075 V/m electric field creates a 3.9 mA current in a 1.0 mm diameter wire. What is the wire made of?

<span>a) Aluminum (resistivity: 2.82 * 10 ^ -8) </span>
<span>b) Nichrome (resistivity: 1.1 * 10 ^ -6) </span>
<span>c) Copper (resistivity: 1.68 * 10 ^ -8) </span>
<span>d) Iron (resistivity: 1.0 * 10 ^ -7)
</span>
the answer is B which is Nichrome (resistivity: 1.1 * 10 ^ -6)

The wire made of Nichrome

<h3><em>Further explanation </em></h3>

The ρ resistivity of an object is the ratio of the magnitude of the electric field to the current density

Can be formulated:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{\rho\:=\:\frac{E}{J} }}}$

Current density (J) itself is the ratio of currents per unit area of cross-section

Can be formulated:

$\large{\boxed{\bold{J\:=\:\frac{I}{A} }}}$

Complete questions from the assignments above can be stated as follows:

A 0.0075 V / m electric field creates a 3.9 mA current in a 1.0 mm diameter wire. What is the wire made of?

a) Aluminum (resistivity: 2.82 * 10 ^ -8)

b) Nichrome (resistivity: 1.1 * 10 ^ -6)

c) Copper (resistivity: 1.68 * 10 ^ -8)

d) Iron (resistivity: 1.0 * 10 ^ -7)

If we see the question above then to find the resistivity of the material we must find the wire cross-section area first

Known value

E = 0.0075 V / m

I = 3.9 mA = 3.9.10⁻³ A

d = 1.0 mm = 1.10⁻³ m

A = 1 / 4 π.d²

A = 1 / 4. π. (10⁻³)²

A = 1/4 . π . 10⁻⁶

so that

$\rho\:=\:\frac{E}{J}$

$\rho\:=\:\frac{E.A}{I}$

$\rho\:=\:\frac{0.0075\frac{10^{-6}}{4} }{3.9.10^{-3}}}$

ρ = 1.5.10⁻⁶ ohm . m

From this value the material which approaches its resistivity is Nichrome with resistivity: 1.1 . 10⁻⁶ ohm.m

What is an example of a microorganism acting in a harmful way? A) Bacteria aiding digestion. B) Bacteria causing strep throat. C

vaieri [72.5K]

Not very often, but sometimes, the language gives away the question. This is one such instance.

Look at A. Is digestion a bad thing? It shouldn't be. Otherwise you run marathons with gobs of food not being broken down and providing energy.
Not A.

Not C. Do you like yogurt? If you don't do you know someone who does? Is yogurt for you/them a bad thing. Bacteria here are good. Again, not C.

Not D. Waste is bad. It's a problem. Getting rid of it is good. Again not D.

There's only one left.
B <<<< answer. Who would like to get strep throat. It's a fate for your worst enemy.

Cuál o cuáles de las siguientes características son correctas para la mayoría de los compuestos del carbono?

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Todas son correctas

Explanation:

I) Los compuestos del carbono son solubles en disolventes no polares como el hexano, benceno, éter, etc. <em>VERDADERO. </em>La mayoría de los compuestos de carbono son apolares, y basados en la regla: Similar disuelve similar, podemos presumir que la mayoría de compuestos de carbono se disuelven en solventes no polares.

II) Los compuestos del carbono generalmente presentan puntos de fusión y de ebullición bajos. <em>VERDADERO. </em>Al ser sustancias apolares, sus fuerzas electrostáticas son bajas. De la misma manera, como su masa atómica es pequeña, las fuerzas de Van der Waals son despreciables haciendo que sus puntos de fusión y ebullición sean bajos respecto a sustancias de estrucutra similar.

III) La gran mayoría de los compuestos del carbono son combustibles, sean estos, gaseosos, líquidos o sólidos. <em>VERDADERO. </em>Los gases (Como el gas natural) son combustibles usados para cocina. Los líquidos (Como la gasolina) son combustibles y bastante inflamables. Los sólidos (Como la madera) se usan como combustibles para hacer asados o son el combustible en incendios forestales.

IV) El enlace covalente es característico de los compuestos del carbono. <em>VERDADERO. </em>La polaridad del carbono es neutral haciendo que la mayoría de los enlaces que forma sean covalentes.

How do water molecules dissolve a salt?

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions. The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a liquid (at a particular temperature) is called the solubility of the substance.

Calculate the mass of nitric acid required to make a 250mL solution with 2.40 ph

meriva

The mass of nitric acid required to make the given solution is 0.0627 g.

The given parameters:

<em>Volume of the acid, V = 250 mL</em>
<em>pH of the acid, = 2.4</em>

The hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

$H^+ = 10^{-pH}\\\\H^+ = 10^{-2.4}\\\\H^+ = 0.00398$

The molarity of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

$= 0.00398 \ H^+ \times \frac{1 \ M \ HNO_3}{1 \ H^+} \\\\= 0.00398 \ M$

The number of moles of the nitric acid is calculated as follows;

$moles = M\times L\\\\moles = 0.00398\ M \ \times \ \frac{250 \ mL}{1000} \\\\moles = 9.95 \times 10^{-4} \ mol.$

The molar mass of nitric acid is calculated as;

$HNO_3 = (1) \ + (14) \ + (16 \times 3) = 63 \ g/mol$

The mass of the nitric acid contained in the calculated number of moles is calculated as;

$mass = moles\ \times \ molar \ mass\\\\mass = 9.95\times 10^{-4} \ mol. \ \times \ 63 \ g/mol\\\\mass = 0.0627 \ g$

Thus, the mass of nitric acid required to make the given solution is 0.0627 g.

Every organism has a unique common name.

prohojiy [21]

Answer true

Explanation:

Every recognized species on earth (at least in theory) is given a two-part scientific name. ... These naming rules mean that every scientific name is unique. For example, if bluegill sunfish are given the scientific name Lepomis macrochirus, no other animal species can be given the same name
