Oliga [24]4 years ago

To oversimply things, you can imagine current as the electrons passing through a certain point, example the wire or motor. However, the electrons won't move unless a force is applied on them to make them move. Voltage is this force, which is why it's also called electromotive force or e.m.f. Voltage, and more specifically voltage difference provides the force that pushes the electron, or current, through the circuit.

If a woman needs an amplification of 1.0 ✕ 105 times the threshold intensity to enable her to hear at all frequencies, what is h
Damm [24]

Answer:

50 dB.

Explanation:

given,

Amplification needed by the woman,I= 1 x 10⁵ I₀

where as I₀ is the threshold frequency

overall hearing loss of the woman= ?

Using the equation of sound intensity level

\beta(dB) = 10 log(\dfrac{I}{I_0})

\beta(dB) = 10 log(\dfrac{1\times 10^5\ I_0}{I_0})

\beta(dB) = 10 log(1\times 10^5)

\beta(dB) = 50\ dB

The overall hearing loss of woman is equal to 50 dB.

FALSE - Water is a good conductor.

Carbon: bonds with other atoms through strong shared electrical bonds 
TRUE - Carbon shares covalent bonds with other atoms.

The main factors that determine the speed of a wave in any particular medium are _____.
vodka [1.7K]

It all depends on what kind of wave, and what kind of medium.

For mechanical waves, like sound and earthquakes, the speed
is determined by the mechanical properties of the medium, like
density and stiffness.

For electromagnetic waves, like radio and light, the speed is
determined by the electrical properties of the medium, like
magnetic permeability and electrostatic permittivity.

That's a big part of the reason why sound and light travel
at different speeds through air, water, and jello.
