Which one is correct and why?​

Physics

Gelneren [198K]3 years ago

'A' and 'C' are exactly the same circuit, except the voltmeter's terminals are flipped.

'A' is the correct way to hook everything up.

If you start at the positive terminal of the battery, and follow the flow of current through the circuit and around to the negative terminal, you're following the path where the voltage gets lower and lower and lower all the way.

So each time you come to any device in the circuit ... whether it's a resistor or a meter ... you would be hitting the positive side of it first, and then the voltage where you come out on the other side of it would be lower.  

So the left side of the resistor is more positive, and the right side is more negative.  The voltmeter is connected correctly in 'A', but it's backwards in 'C'.  If you connect the voltmeter like in 'C' and turn things on, the voltmeter will try  to go <em>down</em> from zero.  You can't read the number on it, and It's possible that the voltmeter might be damaged.

Why the sun emits most of its energy in the form of visible light?
I am Lyosha [343]

Human eye could perceive this visible light and used it to look at the objects.

<u>Explanation: </u>

There are 3 forms of radiation emitted by the sun. They are Infrared radiation, Ultra Violet radiation as well as visible radiation.

Visible light is the type of light can perceive by the human eye and utilizes to see the objects.  

Since the sun is hotter (5800 K) than the earth, it emits mostly the radiation energy in the form of this visible light.

What does the term electron orbital describe? What does the term electron orbital describe? An electron orbital describes a thre
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

An electron orbital describes a three-dimensional space where an electron can be found 90% of the time.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's theory we cannot observe the position and velocity of an electron in an orbit, but if they were around the nucleus (in orbit), it would be possible to know its velocity and position, which would be contrary to the principle of Heisenberg So we can say that no electron revolves around a certain orbit around the nucleus, so we can only predict if the electron will be in the right position at the right time.

From there we find two definitions for electron orbital let's see:

  • Orbital is considered the region of space, where each electron spends most of its time.
  • Orbital is considered the region of space that is most likely to find an electron.

Describe the laws of liquid pressure and Explain the term fluid. (Please give the correct answer, it's really urgent)​
Alla [95]

Answer:

The laws of liquid pressure are  

(i) Pressure inside the liquid increases with the depth from the free surface of the liquid.

(ii) Pressure is same at all points on a horizontal plane, in case of stationary liquid.

(iii) Pressure is same in all directions about a point inside the liquid.

(iv) Pressure at same depth is different in different liquids. It increases with the increase in the density of the liquid.

(v) A liquid will always seek its own level.

A Fluid is any liquid or gas or generally any material that cannot sustain a tangential, or shearing, force when at rest.
