Lightning occurs when there is a flow of electric charge (principally electrons) between the ground and a thundercloud. The maxi

mum rate of charge flow in a lightning bolt is about 20,000 C/s this lasts for 100 μs or less.
1.How much charge flows between the ground and the cloud in this time? (Q= ? C)
2.How many electrons flow during this time? (n_e = ? )

Answer:

1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons

Explanation:

r = Rate of flow of charge = 20000 C/s

t = Time taken = 100 μS

Charge is given by

Q=rt\\\Rightarrow Q=20000\times 100\times 10^{-6}\\\Rightarrow Q=2\ C

The charge that flows between the ground and the cloud in this time is 2 C

Number of electrons is given by

n_e=\dfrac{Q}{e}\\\Rightarrow n_e=\dfrac{2}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow n_e=1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons

The number of electrons is 1.25\times 10^{19}\ electrons

Answer:

(a) You can tell that have the same strength because they have attracted the same amount of paper clips.

(b) Iron is used in electromagnets because steel retained magnetic properties after the power was turned off, but in the iron, the paper clips dropped off right away.

C'est quoi le lien entre l'atmosphere et les plantes?
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

Les plantes produisent de l'oxygène et ont contribué à faire de la Terre une planète habitable. Grâce au processus de photosynthèse pendant la journée, les plantes absorbent le dioxyde de carbone de l'air, le convertissent en sucre et libèrent de l'oxygène dans l'atmosphère.

Les plantes consomment du dioxyde de carbone - un gaz à effet de serre important - au cours du processus de photosynthèse. La réduction du dioxyde de carbone dans l'atmosphère a un effet de refroidissement indirect. Les plantes refroidissent également l'atmosphère car elles libèrent de la vapeur d'eau lorsqu'elles deviennent chaudes, un processus similaire à la transpiration.

la température, l'humidité et l'intensité lumineuse autour de la plante; la concentration de dioxyde de carbone dans l'air autour des feuilles. La relation est inverse; autrement dit, à mesure que la concentration de CO2 augmente, le nombre de stomates produits diminue, et vice versa.
