A scientist in a lab would like to determine if an object conducts electricity. How could he test this ?

A. <u>Place the object on a source of heat</u>, and measure the time it take to heat up.  <em>No.  This would  tell him how well the object conducts heat, but not electricity. </em>

B. <u>Float the object in water.</u>  <em>No.  This would tell him the object's density, and also maybe how well it can absorb water, but nothing about conducting electricity. </em>

<em>C. Include the object in a circuit,</em> and check to see if the circuit still works.  <em>YES !</em><em>  If the circuit still works, then the object conducts electricity.  If it doesn't then it doesn't. </em>

D. <u>Weight the object</u> before and after refrigeration.  <em>No.  This doesn't tell him much of anything ... there's no reason why the object should weigh more or weigh less when it's warm or cold.​</em>

A circuit contains two light bulbs connected in parallel. What would happen to the brightness of each light bulb if two more lig
laila [671]

Answer;

C. The brightness of each bulb would remain the same even though the total resistance of the circuit would decrease.

Explanation;

-If light bulbs are connected in parallel to a voltage source, the brightness of the individual bulbs remains more-or-less constant as more and more bulbs are added to the circuit.

-The current increases as more bulbs are added to the circuit and the overall resistance decreases. In addition, if one bulb is removed from the circuit the other bulbs do not go out. Each bulb is independently linked to the voltage source

The pressure of a gas is reduced from 1200.0 mm hg to 850.0 mm hg as the volume of its container is increased by moving a piston
Kamila [148]
From gas laws:
\frac{PV}{T} = Constant

Therefore,
\frac{ P_{1}  V_{1} }{ T_{1} } =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2} }{ T_{2} }

P1 = 1200 mm
V1 = 85 ml
T1 = 90°C = 363.15 K
P2 = 850 mm
V2 = 350 ml
T2 = ?

Substituting;
T_{2} =  \frac{ P_{2}  V_{2}  T_{1} }{ P^{1}  V^{1} } =  \frac{850*350*363.15}{1200*85} = 1059.19 K = 786.04 °C

A converging lens of focal length 20 cm is placed in contact with, and to the left of, a diverging lens of focal length 30 cm. I
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Magnification will be equal to 3

Explanation:

We have given focal length of the converging lens F_1=20cm

Focal length of the diverging lens F_2=30cm

Object is placed 40 cm to the length of the converging lens d = 40 cm

Combination of the focal length will be equal to

\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{F_1}+\frac{1}{F_2}

\frac{1}{F}=\frac{1}{20}+\frac{1}{-30}=\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{60}

F = 60 cm

So combination of the focal length will be 60 cm

Magnification is given by

M=\frac{F}{F-d}=\frac{60}{60-40}=3

So magnification will be equal to 3
