The answer is B. The atmosphere provides the earth a moderate and livable climate. The atmosphere is a storage of gases. It contains air which has oxygen that enables us to breath and live in this planet. Also, the atmosphere protects the people by absorbing harmful electromagnetic radiation from the sun.
<span>Balloons are blown up, and then rubbed against your shirt many times. The balloon then touches the ceiling. When released, the balloon remains stuck to the ceiling. The balloon is charged by contact. The ceiling has a neutral charge. The charged balloon induces a slight surface charge on the ceiling opposite to the charge on the balloon. Balloon and ceiling electric charges are opposite in sign, so they will attract each other. Since both the balloon and the ceiling are insulators, charge can not flow from one to the other. The charge on the balloon is fixed on the balloon and the charge on the ceiling remains fixed to the ceiling. It just so happens that the<span> electrostatic force the ceiling exerts on the balloon is sufficient to hold the balloon in place (i.e. overcomes gravity, etc.).</span></span>
A hand is burned when touching a pot handle
Answer:
66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m
Explanation:
Using Gauss's law which states that the net electric flux (∅) through a closed surface is the ratio of the enclosed charge (Q) to the permittivity (ε₀) of the medium. This can be represented as
;
∅ = Q / ε₀ -----------------(i)
Where;
∅ = 7.5 x 10⁵ Nm²/C
ε₀ = permittivity of free space (which is air, since it is enclosed in a bag) = 8.85 x 10⁻¹² Nm²/C²
Now, let's first get the charge (Q) by substituting the values above into equation (i) as follows;
7.5 x 10⁵ = Q / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)
Solve for Q;
Q = 7.5 x 10⁵ x 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C
Now, we can find the linear charge density (L) which is the ratio of the charge(Q) to the length (l) of the rod. i.e
L = Q / l ----------------------(ii)
Where;
Q = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷ C
l = length of the rod = 10.0cm = 0.1m
Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;
L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁷C / 0.1m
L = 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m
Therefore, the linear charge density (charge per unit length) on the rod is 66.375 x 10⁻⁶ C/m.
Answer:
1 C
Explanation:
The intensity of electric current is defined as
where
I is the current
q is the amount of charge transferred
t is the time interval during which the charge is transferred
For the lightning in this problem, we have
is the current
is the time interval
Solving the formula for q, we find the amount of charge transferred:
