Answer:

Simply put: the grounding wire is a way of electrical protection. Its function is to quickly connect the current to the earth through the grounding wire when your electrical equipment is leaking or inductively charged, so that the equipment shell is no longer charged, thereby ensuring the safety of the equipment behind the personnel.

Explanation:

For example, due to poor insulation performance of household appliances or humid environment, the shell will be charged with static electricity, and electric shock accidents may occur in serious cases. In order to avoid accidents, a wire can be connected to the metal shell of the electrical appliance, and the other end of the wire can be connected to the ground. Once the electrical leakage occurs, the grounding wire will bring static electricity into the ground and release it. In addition, it is more important for electrical maintenance personnel to use electric soldering irons to solder circuits, sometimes because the electric soldering irons are charged and break down and damage the integrated circuits in the electrical appliances. Friends who use computers sometimes ignore the grounding of the mainframe. In fact, connecting a ground wire to the mainframe of the computer can prevent the occurrence of crashes to a certain extent.

svetoff [14.1K]
We will apply:
Q = mcΔT; where Q is the heat, m is the mass, c is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the temperature change.

30,000 = 390 x 3.9 x ΔT
ΔT = 19.7 °C

The temperature change is of 19.7 °C.

Which of the following statements are true?Check all that apply.
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.

Explanation:

As per Kepler's law of planet motion we know that all planets revolve around the sun in elliptical path in such a way that position of Sun must be at one of the focii of the path

So all planets are in elliptical path always

Position of sun is always at one of the focus

so correct answer will be

1.The Sun is located at one of the foci of the planets' elliptical orbits.

2.The path of the planets around the Sun is elliptical in shape.
