when an object is charged by contact, how does the kind of charge transferred compare to that on the object giving the charge?

1 answer:

8 0

Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.

A ductile metal wire has resistance R. What will be the resistance of this wire in terms of R if it is stretched to three times

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that the resistance is $R=\rho *\frac{L}{A}$ .

If we stretch the wire to a new length L2 = 3L, the cross-sectional area will also change. If the cross-sectional area doesn't change throughout the wire, we can say that:

Volume = L*A = 3L * A2 being A2 the new area after stretching the wire.

Since the volume remains the same we conclude that A2 = A/3

With this information, we calculate the new resistance:

$R2=\rho *\frac{L2}{A2}=\rho *\frac{3*L}{A/3}=\rho * 9 * \frac{L}{A}$
