Why do we say that in metal conductors , electrons move but protons don’t.?please help

Answer:

Explanation:

As with all atoms known, electrons moves in discrete energy levels round a well defined orbit.

Protons are restricted to the nucleus of an atom. They occupy this small and massive position along with the neutrons.

Metals, have a large dense cloud of electrons.

  • Every atom is made up of three fundamental particles.
  • Protons, neutrons and electrons are these particles.
  • Protons are positively charged and they occupy the tiny nucleus. Neutrons are found in the nucleus with them. They do not carry any charge.
  • It is correct to infer their position as being fixed.
  • Electrons occupies the bulk of the volume of the atom.
  • They orbit round the tiny nucleus.

Therefore, it is safe to conclude that in metal conductors, electrons move but protons do not just like in every other atom.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impedence of the circuit = peak voltage / peak current

= 5.8 / 51 x 10⁻³

= 113.725 ohm.

1 / wC =113.725

w = 1 / (113.725 x 22 x 10⁻⁹ )

= 10⁹ / 2.5 x 10³

=10⁶ / 2.5

40 x 10⁴

frequency n = 40 x 10⁴ / 2 x 3.14

6.37 x 10⁴ Hz.

b ) charge on the capacitor = 1 C

V = Q / C

= Charge / capacitor

= 1 / 22 x 10⁻⁹

4.54 x 10⁷ V.

How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Decreases

Explanation:

"Effort" usually refers to the applied force.  An inclined plane decreases the force required while increasing the distance that the force is exerted over.  So even though there's less force needed, the amount of work stays the same.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Reflective

Explanation:

The radiation pressure of the wave that totally absorbed is given by;

P_{abs}= \frac{I}{C}

and While the radiation pressure of the wave totally reflected is given by;

P_{ref}= \frac{2I}{C}

Now compare the two-equation you can clearly see that the pressure due to reflection is larger than absorption therefore the sail should be reflective.
