<h2>Answer: free electrons</h2>

<u>Plasma</u> is known as the 4th state of matter and is itself ionized gas. In this sense, ionization consists of the production of ions, which are <u>electrically charged atoms or molecules due to</u><u> the excess or lack of electrons</u><u> with respect to a neutral atom or molecule. </u>

That is why in this process there are always<u> free electrons</u>. Therefore in heating gas to create plasma can yield  free electrons, and the correct option is D.

Answer:

D) free electrons.      

Explanation:

Plasma is the fourth state of matter where in matter exists in ionized form. When a gas is heated such that electrons separate from the atom and positive ion is formed along free electrons, a plasma is said to be created. Example: Sun is a ball of plasma. Thus, heating a a gas to create plasma can yield free electrons. Option D is correct.

The emf induced in a coil that is rotating in a magnetic field will be at a maximum at which moment?
adelina 88 [10]
TLDR: It will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

This is an example that requires you to investigate the properties that occur in electric generators; for example, hydroelectric dams produce electricity by forcing a coil to rotate in the presence of a magnetic field, generating a current.

To solve this, we need to understand the principles of electromotive forces and Lenz’ Law; changing the magnetic field conditions around anything with this potential causes an induced current in the wire that resists this change. This principle is known as Lenz’ Law, and can be described using equations that are specific to certain situations. For this, we need the two that are useful here:

e = -N•dI/dt; dI = ABcos(theta)

where “e” describes the electromotive force, “N” describes the number of loops in the coil, “dI” describes the change in magnetic flux, “dt” describes the change in time, “A” describes the area vector of the coil (this points perpendicular to the loops, intersecting it in open space), “B” describes the magnetic field vector, and theta describes the angle between the area and mag vectors.

Because the number of loops remains constant and the speed of the coils rotation isn’t up for us to decide, the only thing that can increase or decrease the emf is the change in magnetic flux, represented by ABcos(theta). The magnetic field and the size of the loop are also constant, so all we can control is the angle between the two. To generate the largest emf, we need cos(theta) to be as large as possible. To do this, we can search a graph of cos(theta) for the highest point. This occurs when theta equals 90 degrees, or a right angle. Therefore, the electromotive potential will reach a maximum when the angle between the area vector and the magnetic field vector are perpendicular to one another.

Hope this helps!

A 15.0 Ohms resistor is connected in series to a 120V generator and two 10.0 Ohms resistors that are connected in parallel to ea
Nostrana [21]

Hi there! :)

Reference the diagram below for clarification.

1.

We must begin by knowing the following rules for resistors in series and parallel.

In series:
R_T = R_1 + R_2 + ... + R_n

In parallel:
\frac{1}{R_T} = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2} + ... + \frac{1}{R_n}

We can begin solving for the equivalent resistance of the two resistors in parallel using the parallel rules.

\frac{1}{R_{T, parallel}} = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10}\\\\\frac{1}{R_{T, parallel}} = \frac{2}{10} = \frac{1}{5}\\\\R_{T, parallel} = 5\Omega

Now that we have reduced the parallel resistors to a 'single' resistor, we can add their equivalent resistance with the other resistor in parallel (15 Ohm) using series rules:
R_T = 15 + 5\\\\\boxed{R_T = 20 \Omega}

2.

We can use Ohm's law to solve for the current in the circuit.

i = \frac{V}{R_T}\\\\i = \frac{120}{20} = \boxed{6 A}

3.

For resistors in series, both resistors receive the SAME current.

Therefore, the 15Ω resistor receives 6A, and the parallel COMBO (not each individual resistor, but the 5Ω equivalent when combined) receives 6A.

In this instance, since both of the resistors in parallel are equal, the current is SPLIT EQUALLY between the two. (Current in parallel ADDS UP). Therefore, an even split between 2 resistors of 6 A is <u>3A for each 10Ω resistor</u>.

4.

Since the 15.0 Ω resistor receives 6A, we can use Ohm's Law to solve for voltage.

V = iR\\\\V = (6)(15) = \boxed{90 V}

A car is accelerated from 40 m/s to 48 m/s in 6.5 seconds. What is the magnitude of the car’s
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

AVerage acceleration is the cjange in velocity with time

a = v-u/t

v is the final velocity = 48m/s

u is the initial velocity = 40m/s

t is the time = 6.5s

a = 48-40/6.5

a = 8/6.5

a = 1.23m/s²

Hence the magnitude of the car’s  average acceleration during this period is 1.23m/s²

Two tuning forks, 254 Hz. and 260 Hz., are struck simultaneously. How many beats will be heard?
Lisa [10]

The longer you continue to listen, the more beats will be heard.

They'll occur at the rate of (260Hz - 254Hz) = 6 Hz .

A tennis ball is tossed up off a building with a velocity of 22m/s. It takes 6.4s to reach the ground. How high is the building
Amanda [17]
The height of the tennis ball,relative to the ground is H=h max+h-->h max-the maximum height that the tennis ball reaches relative to the roof of the building; h-the height of the building;h max =v0^2/2g=24,2m(g=10m/s^2).H=gt^2/2=>24,2+h=gt^2/2=>h=gt^2/2-24,2=180,6m
