TEA [102]3 years ago

Answer:

B. Maximum velocity of ejected electrons.

Explanation:

The ejection of electrons form a metal surface when the metal surface is exposed to a monochromatic electromagnetic wave of sufficiently short wavelength or higher frequency (or equivalently, above a threshold frequency),  which leads to the enough energy of the wave to incident and get absorbed to the exposed surface emits electrons. This phenomenon is known as the photoelectric effect or photo-emission.

The minimum amount of energy required by a metal surface to eject an electron from its surface is called work function of metal surface.

The electrons thus emitted are called photo-electrons.

The current produced as a result is called photo electricity.

Energy of photon is given by:

E=h.\nu

where:

h = Planck's constant

\nu= frequency of the incident radiation.

1) A capacitor consists of two metal surfaces separated by an electrical insulator with no electrically conductive path through
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Current flows in a resistor-capacitor circuit because of the varying electric field across the plates of a capacitor induced by an AC voltage source <em>(displacement current)</em>

Explanation:

In a capacitor, current does not flow the same way it does in a circuit, that is through conduction. This is because there is a highly resistive material in between the plates of the capacitor. Rather current flows through a phenomenon called displacement current.

Because of change in charge accumulation with time above the plates, the electric field changes causing the displacement current.

Displacement current arises due to the flow of electrons as a result of the varying magnetic fields set up on the plates of the capacitor when supplied with an AC voltage. It is important to note that a DC voltage does not induce any displacement current.

<em>Through this, phenomenon discovered by Maxwell,  current is able to flow in a resistor-capacitor circuit despite the absence of an electrically conductive path through the plates.</em>

In a digital multimeter, what changes inside the meter when you push the button to change from 200v range to the 20v range? by w
charle [14.2K]
So we want to know what changes inside the multimeter when we change the voltage range from 200 V to  20 V, by what factor and does it increase or decrease. What we want when trying to measure the voltage with a multimeter is that a minimal current passes trough the mulitmeter so when we change the voltage range, we decrease the resistance by a factor of 10 because the voltage is decreased by a factor of 10.

Friction occurs when microscopic hills and valleys stick together<br><br> true or false
Reika [66]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Friction occurs because no surface is perfectly smooth. Rougher surfaces have more friction between them. Heavier objects also have more friction because they press together with greater force. Friction produces heat because it causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster and have more energy.
