Answer:

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

(2) 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Explanation:

Given;

initial charge on the plastic rod, q₁ = 15nC

final charge on the plastic rod, q₂ = - 5nC

let the charge acquired by the plastic rod = q

q + 15nC = -5nC

q = -5nC - 15nC

q = -20 nC

Thus, the plastic rod acquired excess negative charge from the metal sphere.

Hence, electrons transferred from sphere to rod

B) electrons transferred from sphere to rod.

2) How many charged particles were transferred?

1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ C = 1 electron

20 x 10⁻⁹ C = ?

= 1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons

Thus,1.248 x 10¹¹ electrons were transferred

Using 0.500 g of nichrome, you are asked to fabricate a wire with uniform cross-section. The resistance of the wire is 0.673 Ω.
mojhsa [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Nichrome, m = 0.5 g

The resistance of the wire, R = 0.673 ohms

Resistivity of the nichrome wire, \rho=10^{-6}\ \Omega -m

Density, d=8.31\times 10^3\ kg/m^3

(A) The length of the wire is given by using the definition of resistance as :

Volume,

V=A\times l\\\\A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\Since, V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{m}{d}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.31\times 10^3}\\\\V=6.01\times 10^{-8}\ m^3

Area,

A=\dfrac{V}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}....(1)

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}\\\\l=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\l=\dfrac{0.673\times 6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l\times 10^{-6}}\\\\l=0.201\ m

(b)  Equation (1) becomes :

A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{l}\\\\A=\dfrac{6.01\times 10^{-8}}{0.201}\\\\\pi r^2=3\times 10^{-7}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 10^{-7}}{\pi}} \\\\r=3.09\times 10^{-4}\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.

A soap bubble, when illuminated at normal incidence with light of 463 nm, appears to be especially reflective. If the index of r
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

the minimum thickness the soap film can be if it is surrounded by air is 85.74 nm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

wavelength of light; λ = 463 nm = 463 × 10⁻⁹ m

Index of refraction; n = 1.35

Now, the thinnest thickness of the soap film can be determined from the following expression;

t_{min = ( λ / 4n )

so we simply substitute in our given values;

t_{min = ( 463 × 10⁻⁹ m ) / 4(1.35)

t_{min = ( 463 × 10⁻⁹ m ) / 5.4

t_{min = ( 463 × 10⁻⁹ m ) / 4(1.35)

t_{min = 8.574 × 10⁻⁸ m

t_{min = 85.74 × 10⁻⁹ m

t_{min = 85.74 nm

Therefore, the minimum thickness the soap film can be if it is surrounded by air is 85.74 nm
