The existence of coal beds in Antarctica indicates that the continent once had temperate, rainy climate.

Explanation:

Antarctica continent is found to rich in coal source found at the surface of rocks near coastal regions. The coal are deposited in a layer forming beds of coal in a specific region of Antarctica. So, these coal were found mostly when plants get buried without complete decomposition in them.

Thus, the large amount of coal in a bed form indicates that once Antarctica was filled with plants and other greenery sources. And this can be possible if Antarctica had temperate rainy climate before a long time.

So, those rainy climate which was once present in Antarctica would have led to production of plants which got decomposed and buried in layers due to drastic change in the atmosphere of Antarctica leading to the present form of Antarctica.

Students in an introductory physics lab are performing an experiment with a parallel-plate capacitor made of two circular alumin

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

$\rm 9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the plates of the capacitor, D = 21 cm = 0.21 m.
Distance of separation between the plates, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m.
Minimum value of electric field that produces spark, $\rm E=3\times 10^6\ N/C.$

When the dimensions of the plate of the capacitor is comparatively much larger than the distance of separation between the plates, then, according to the Gauss' law of electrostatics, the value of the electric field strength in the region between the plates of the capacitor is given by

$\rm E=\dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon_o}.$

where,

$\rm \sigma$ = surface charge density of the plate of the capacitor = $\dfrac qA$ .

$\rm q$ = magnitude of the charge on each of the plate.
$\rm A$ = surface area of each of the plate = $\rm \pi \times (Radius)^2=\pi \times\left ( \dfrac{D}{2}\right )^2= \pi \times \left ( \dfrac{0.21}{2}\right )^2=3.46\times 10^{-2}\ m^2.$
$\epsilon_o$ = electrical permittivity of free space, having value = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\rm \ C^2N^{-1}m^{-2}.$

For the minimum value of electric field that produces spark,

$\rm E = \dfrac{q}{A\epsilon_o}\\\Rightarrow q = E\ A\epsilon_o\\=3\times 10^6\times 3.46\times 10^{-2}\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\\=9.186\times 10^{-7}\ C.$

It is the maximum value of the magnitude of charge which can be added up to each of the plates of the capacitor.

A ______ is a network that has all connected devices located in the same physical location.

Dafna11 [192]

The answer is Local Area Network (LAN). Examples of LANs, are those in workplaces, libraries, and universities. The nodes are connected and share common resources over a WiFi, Ethernet network, Token rings, and etcetera. The opposite of LAN is a Wide Area Network (WAN) that covers a wide geographical area.

The incorrect statement about electromagnetic waves is C. induction of electric fields by changing magnetic fields only occurs if a conducting material is present.
Electromagnetic waves do not rely on any medium for propagation, which means that the generation of fields is irrespective of the presence of a conducting material.
