Answer:

a.Insulators can be used to increase the amount of current that can flow through a resistor without increasing its temperature.

Explanation:

A conductor has low resistance, while an insulator has much higher resistance. Devices called resistors control amounts of resistance into an electrical circuits. Electric charges inside an insulator are bound to the individual atoms or molecules, not being able to move inside the material.

When you turn up the resistance, the electric current flowing through the circuit is reduced

Ohm's law:

V = I * R

R = V/I

An Ohmic conductor would have a linear relationship between the current and the voltage. With non-Ohmic conductors, the relationship is not linear. Most metals are good conductors example silver, copper etc.

Consider the points below. P(1, 0, 1), Q(−2, 1, 4), R(6, 2, 7) (a) Find a nonzero vector orthogonal to the plane through the poi
kozerog [31]

Answer:

a) (0, -33, 12)

b) area of the triangle : 17.55 units of area

Explanation:

<h2>a) </h2>

We know that the cross product of linearly independent vectors \vec{A} and \vec{B} gives us a nonzero, orthogonal to both, vector. So, if we can find two linearly independent vectors on the plane through the points P, Q, and R, we can use the cross product to obtain the answer to point a.

Luckily for us, we know that vectors \vec{A} = \vec{P}-\vec{Q} and \vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} are living in the plane through the points P, Q, and R, and are linearly independent.

We know that they are linearly independent, cause to have one, and only one, plane through points P Q and R, this points must be linearly independent (as the dimension of a plane subspace is 3).

If they weren't linearly independent, we will obtain vector zero as the result of the cross product.

So, for our problem:

\vec{A} = \vec{P} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{A} = (1,0,1) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{A} = (1 +2,0-1,1-4)\\\\\vec{A} = (3,-1,-3)

\vec{B} = \vec{R} - \vec{Q} \\\\\vec{B} = (6,2,7) - (-2,1,4)\\\\\vec{B} = (6 +2,2-1,7-4)\\\\\vec{B} = (8,1,3)

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = (A_y B_z - B_y A_z) \  \hat{i} - ( A_x B_z-B_xA_z) \ \hat{j} + (A_x B_y - B_x A_y ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( (-1) * 3 - 1 * (-3) ) \  \hat{i} - ( 3 * 3 - 8 * (-3)) \ \hat{j} + (3 * 1 - 8 * (-1) ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = ( - 3 + 3 ) \  \hat{i} - ( 9 + 24 ) \ \hat{j} + (3 + 8 ) \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} = 0 \  \hat{i} - 33 \ \hat{j} + 12 \ \hat{k}

\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} =(0, -33, 12)

<h2>B)</h2>

We know that \vec{A} and \vec{B} are two sides of the triangle, and we also know that we can use the magnitude of the cross product to find the area of the triangle:

|\vec{A} \times  \vec{B} | = 2 * area_{triangle}

so:

\sqrt{(-33)^2 + (12)^2} = 2 * area_{triangle}

\sqrt{1233} = 2 * area_{triangle}

35.114= 2 * area_{triangle}

17.55 \ units \  of \ area =  area_{triangle}

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹
