The correct answer is: They possess high concentrations of free electrons

The main characteristic of good conductors such as metals is the presence of movable electrically charged particles, or electrons. So, when an electric current is applied to a metal, the electrons will move and allow electricity to pass through them. Materials opposite of metals, with low electron mobility are not good conductors, instead they are called insulators.

AysviL [449]
As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. ... As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon's orbit lasts 27 1/2 days, but because the Earth keeps moving, it takes the Moon two extra days, 29 1/2, to come back to the same place in our sky.

The reactive force developed by a jet engine to push an airplane forward is called thrust, and the thrust developed by the engin
finlep [7]

The value of the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 in N and Kgf are ;

i) 376616N

ii) 38430Kgf

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is a push or a pull. The reactive force always serve to balance the applied force. We are here asked to convert the  the thrust developed by the engine of a boeing 777 which is about 85400 lbf to the following units;

i) N

ii)kgf

Thus;

1 Ib = 0.45 Kg

1 lbf = 0.45 Kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 4.41 N

We know that;

1 lbf = 4.41 N

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf. * 4.41 N/1 lbf

= 376616N

Again;

1 lbf = 0.45 Kgf

85400 lbf = 85400 lbf * 0.45 Kgf/1 lbf

= 38430Kgf

Two long straight wires are parallel and carry current in the same direction. The currents are 8.0 and 12 A and the wires are se
Bess [88]

A magnetic field is a mathematical description of the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials. The magnetic field at any point is specified by two values, the direction and the magnitude; such that it is a vector field. Mathematically it is described as,

B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi d}

Here

\mu_0=  Permeability at free space constant

I_{1,2}= Current at each object

d = Distance to the center point of the two object

Two magnetic field due to the current in the same directions then is,

B = \frac{\mu_0 I_1}{2\pi d_1}+\frac{\mu_0 I_2}{2\pi d_2}

Replacing,

B = \frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(8)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}+\frac{(4\pi *10^{-7})(12)}{2\pi (2*10^{-3})}

B = 8*10^{-4} +12*10^{-4}

B = 20*10^{-4}T

Therefore the correct answer is E.
