An electroscope is a simple device consisting of a metal ball that is attached by a conductor to two thin leaves of metal foil p

rotected from air disturbances in a jar, as shown. When the ball is touched by a charged body, the leaves that normally hang straight down spread apart. Why? (Electroscopes ate useful not only as charge detectors but also for measuring the quantity of charge: the more charge transferred to the ball, the more the leaves diverge.)

Answer:

the electroscope separate  by the presence of charge carriers

Explanation:

Metal bodies are characterized by having free (mobile) electrons. In the electroscope the plates are in balance; when the external metal ball is touched, a charge is introduced into the device, when the body that touched the ball is separated, an excess charge remains. This charge, being a metal, is distributed over the entire surface, giving a uniform density and an electric force of repulsion is created between the two charged sheets, which tends to separate the sheets. This force is counteracted by the tension component as the sheets are separated at a given angle, the separation reaches the point where

                  Fe - Tx = 0

                  Fe = Tx

In summary, the electroscope separate its leaves by the presence of charge carriers

The time constant of an RC circuit is 2.7 s. How much time t is required for the capacitor (uncharged initially) to gain 0.63 of
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

2.7s

Explanation:

The solution of time required is shown below:-

In the RC circuit condenser charge 63 percent of the full charge from initial time to constant time

Now, the

63% that is equal to 0.63 which is full equilibrium charge

Therefore, the time required to maintain will be Equal to time (t) constant that is 2.7s

So, the correct answer is 2.7s

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a distance of 2.5 m from a light bulb that radiates 100 W of single-frequency
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

1.04\times 10^{-7} T

Explanation:

IP  = Power of the bulb = 100 W

r  = distance from the bulb = 2.5 m

I = Intensity of light at the location

Intensity of the light at the location is given as

I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^{2}}

I = \frac{100}{4(3.14) (2.5)^{2}}

I = 1.28 W/m²

B_{o} = maximum magnetic field

Intensity is given as

I = \frac{B_{o}^{2}c}{2\mu _{o}}

1.28 = \frac{B_{o}^{2}(3\times 10^{8})}{2(12.56\times 10^{-7})}

B_{o} = 1.04\times 10^{-7} T

Moons that show few craters probably
ch4aika [34]

Moons that display few craters presumably. They all pass straight over the equator of the globe. Uranus's five biggest moons. have the closest magnetic field axis.

<h3>Which 4 moons are known?</h3>

There are many fascinating moons around the globe, but the Galilean satellites—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto—the first four moons identified beyond Earth—hold the most scientific curiosity.

<h3>Can Earth have Two moons?</h3>

Moon and Earth

The basic explanation is that Earth only has one moon, that we name “the moon”. It is the biggest and brightest object in the night sky, and the only solar system body except Earth that humanity have visited in our space travel activities.
