Aneli [31]3 years ago
8 0

The flask was later developed using new materials such as glass and aluminum; however, Dewar refused to patent his invention. ... The name later became a genericized trademark after the term "thermos" became the household name for such a vacuum-insulated container for liquids.

A negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, as shown below. Which statements describe the charging method
grin007 [14]
<h3>Answer;</h3>
  • <em>The spheres develop opposite charges. </em>
  • <em>Electrons move from Sphere A to Sphere B. </em>
  • <em>The spheres are charged through induction.</em>
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <u><em>When a negatively charged rod is placed near two neutral metal spheres, the spheres will develop opposite charges, because the neutral metal spheres have both negative and positive charges. </em></u>From the basic law of electrostatics unlike charges attracts and like charges repel.
  • Thus, <em><u>the sphere will develop opposite charges, electrons will move from Sphere A to sphere B,</u></em> hence we say that the spheres will be charged by induction such that sphere A will acquire a positive charge while sphere B will acquire negative charge.

What do electric and magnetic fields have in common?
Nastasia [14]

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

Magnetic field are a region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges. Everything is made up of atoms, and each atom has a nucleus made of neutrons and protons with electrons that orbit around the nucleus. Since the orbiting electrons are tiny moving charges, a small magnetic field is created around each atom.

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like pole repel unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge.

Choose the correct statement regarding a compound microscope being used to look at a mite. The eyepiece lens forms a virtual ima
Nata [24]

Answer:

a) True. The image of the mite is virtual

e) True. The image must be within the focal length of the eyepiece len

Explanation:

Let's review the general characteristics of compound microscopes

Formed by two converging lenses

Magnification is

       M = -L/fo   0.25/fe

Where fo is the focal length of the objective lens and fe is the focal length of the ocular lens, L is the tube length

Let's review the claims

a) True. The image of the mite is virtual

b) False. The effect is the opposite of the magnification equation

c) False. The objective lens forms a real image

d) False. As the seal distance increases the magnification decreases

e) True. The image must be within the focal length of the eyepiece len
