What is the difference between conductor and insulator

Physics
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are three types of material as per the condition of charge flow

1) Conductor

2) Insulator

3) Semiconductor

1) Conductors

As we know that conductors are those which offer very small resistance to the flow of charge

Resistivity of the conductors are very small

2) Insulators

These type of materials offer large resistance to the flow of charges and it will not pass the current through it

So resistivity of the insulators are large as compared to conductors

How are science and technology the same
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Science is the study of the natural world by collecting data through a systematic process called the scientific method. And technology is where we apply science to create devices that can solve problems and do tasks. Technology is literally the application of science

Suppose astronomers discover a type-M star with a very large luminosity. What type of star is it likely to be
lianna [129]

Answer: A red supergiant

Explanation:

Red supergiants are the stars that have a supergiant luminosity which has a class of either K or M spectral type. In terms of volume, they are regarded as the largest stars on Earth even though they are not the most luminous.

Red supergiants are formed when a star collapses after the hydrogen fuel that the star has in its core runs out and

then fusion begins when the outer shells of hydrogen gets hot.

when the mass of an object is increased it would decrease its acceleration in the force is left alone
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

This analysis can be easily deduced by means of Newton's second law which tells us that the sum of the forces or the total force on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = total force [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

We must clear the acceleration value.

a=\frac{F}{m}

We see that the term of the mass is in the denominator, so that if the value of the mass is increased the acceleration decreases, since they are inversely proportional.

A laser source has a bandwidth of 30GHz (a) Calculate the coherence length of the source b) What is the time separation of secti
abruzzese [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Bandwidth of a laser source, f=30\ GHz=30\times 10^9\ Hz

(b) Let t is the time separation of sections of sections of the light wave that can still interfere. The time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{30\times 10^9}

T=3.33\times 10^{-11}\ s

(a) Let h is the coherence length of the source. It is given by :

l=c\times T

c is the speed of light

l=3\times 10^8\times 3.33\times 10^{-11}

l = 0.0099 m

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which of the following statements is true about earth's magnetic poles
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer: b) they are the areas where Earth's magnetic field is weakest

Explanation:

According to classical physics, a magnetic field always has two associated magnetic poles (north and south), the same happens with magnets. This is because for <em>classical physics</em>, naturally, magnetic monopoles can not exist.  

In this context, Earth is similar to a magnetic bar with a north pole and a south pole. This means, the axis that crosses the Earth from pole to pole is like a big magnet.  

Now, by convention, on all magnets the north pole is where the magnetic lines of force leave the magnet and the south pole is where the magnetic lines of force enter the magnet.  Then, for the case of the Earth, the north pole of the magnet is located towards the geographic south pole and the south pole of the magnet is near the geographic north pole.  

Being the magnetic poles the places where the Earth's magnetic field is weakest. And it is for this reason, moreover, that the magnetic field lines enter the Earth through its magnetic south pole (which is the geographic north pole).
