Explain why gases are good insulators?

Physics
1 answer:
Zepler [3.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:Gases do not conduct heat as well as liquids and are therefore good insulators. Gases consist of widely spread out particles, and it takes contact to conduct heat. ... They are insulators if they are not ionized and there are no free charged particles there that can carry electric current.

Which happens to the magnetic field of a wire when you change the direction of the current in the wire?
SVEN [57.7K]
Nothing will happen to the magnetic field.
BUT If you're talking about the magnetic force , then when changing the current direction , the direction of the magnetic force will be reversed.

(You'ld like to know :
-Changing direction of current ONLY , reverses the direction of magnetic force.
-Changing direction of Magnetic field only (poles of magnet) , reverses the direction of magnetic force.
-Changing the direction of both , magnetic field and current , doesn't effect direction of magnetic force.)

N.B : Magnetic Force is experienced only when direction of current is PARALLEL to direction of magnetic field .

--> Flemming Left Hand Rule is used to know direction of magnetic force.

Hope This Helps.

A machine exerts a 100 N force to the right over a 5.00 meter length in 4.00 seconds. Calculate the power output of this machine
bixtya [17]

125 W is the power output of this machine.

Answer:

Explanation:

Power is defined as the amount of work done on the system to move that system from its original state within the given time interval. So it can be determined by the ratio of work done with time interval. As work done is the measure of force required to move a system to a certain distance. Work done is calculated as product of force with displacement.

So in the present case, the force is given as 100 N, the displacement is given as 5 m and the time is given as 4 s, then power is

Power = \frac{Work done}{Time}

As Work done = Force acting on the machine × Displacement

So Power = \frac{(Force * Displacement)}{Time}

Power = \frac{(100*5)}{4}=125 W

So, 125 W is the power output of this machine.
