We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
Answer:
-4*10⁴ units.
Explanation:
As the metal rod was initially neutral (which means that it has the same quantity of positive and negative charges), after being close to the charged sphere, as charge must be conserved, the total charge of the metal rod must still remain to be zero.
So, if due to the influence of the negative charge in the sphere, the half of the road closer to the sphere has a surplus charge of +4*10⁴ units, the charge on the half of the rod farther from the sphere must be the same in magnitude but of the opposite sign, i.e., -4*10⁴ units.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Potential difference has a SI Unit of Volt and its symbol is <em>V</em>. Hence answer is <u>B</u>.
A is wrong as it has the unit Joule <em>(J)</em> which is the SI unit for energy.
C is wrong as it has the unit Newton <em>(N)</em> which is the SI unit for force.
D is wrong as it has the unit Coulomb <em>(C)</em> which is the SI unit of charge.
