A metallic wire carrying current is not charged - it is electrically neutral.
This is because a wire, or any type of conductor, cannot store charge - the fact that it is carrying current means that charge carriers that already existed in the wire are in motion. There are as many electrons as there are protons in the wire, which makes it neutral - there is no buildup of charge.
Answer:
Lunar eclipse
Explanation:
Lunar eclipse occurs when Earth comes in between sun and Moon. The moon is either partially or fully blocked and the moon sighting appears to be black from earth since the light rays coming from sun are blocked by Earth. Lunar eclipse occurs only at full moon. The moon is aligned with the position of earth and sun so that they all form a straight line.
Answer: e. P/2
Explanation:
For ideal gases, we have the relation:
P*V = n*R*T
where:
n = number of mols
R = Gas constant
T = temperature
V = volume
P = pressure.
We know that for sample A, we have n moles, a temperature T and a volume V, then the pressure of this sample will be:
Pa = (n*R*T)/V.
For sample B, we have:
n/2 moles, temperature T/2 and a volume V/2, then the pressure will be:
Pb = (n/2)*R*(T/2)*(2/V) = (n*R*T/V)*(2/4)
and:
(n*R*T/V) = Pa
Then we can replace it and we get:
Pb = (n*R*T/V)*(2/4) = Pa*(2/4) = Pa*(1/2) = Pa/2.
Then the correct option is e.
