The mean may be calculated by summing the values of the refractive index and dividing the sum by the number of experiments. This is:
Mean = (1.45 + 1.56 + 1.54 + 1.44 + 1.54 + 1.53)/6
Mean = 1.51

The mean absolute error is the sum of the absolute values of errors divided by the number of trials:
MAE = (|1.45-1.51|+|1.56-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.44-1.51|+|1.54-1.51|+|1.53-1.51|)/6
MAE = 0.043

The fractional error is the MAE divided by the actual value:
Fractional error = 0.043 / 1.51
Fractional error = 43/1510

The percentage error is the fractional error multiplied by 100:
Percentage error = 2.85%

A very long straight wire has charge per unit length 1.44×10-10C/m.

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

Explanation:

We have given charge per unit length, that is liner charge density $\lambda =1.44\times 10^{-10}C/m$

Electric field E = 2.45 N/C

We have to find the distance at which electric field is 2.45 N/C

We know that electric field due to linear charge is equal to

$E=\frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon _0r}$ , here $\lambda$ is linear charge density and r is distance of the point where we have to find the electric field

So $2.45=\frac{1.44\times 10^{-10} }{2\times 3.14\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times r}$

r = 1.06 m

So distance of the point where electric filed is 2.45 N/C is 1.06 m

Why does the chord of an electric heater not glow while the heating element does

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

The heating element of the heater is made up of alloy which has very high resistance so when current flows through the heating element, it becomes too hot and glows red. But the resistance of cord which is usually of copper or aluminum is very low so it does not glow.

A mixture of nitrogen and xenon gases, at a total pressure of 836 mm Hg, contains 2.80 grams of nitrogen and 24.9 grams of xenon

larisa86 [58]

Answer: Partial pressure of nitrogen and xenon are 288mmHg and 548 mmHg respectively.

Explanation:

The partial pressure of a gas is given by Raoult's law, which is:

$p_A=p_T\times \chi_A$
