How do electrons flow through a wire

1 answer:

7 0

Every atom has electrons. When you add new electrons to the wire, they will be passed on to an atom. The electrons keep passing from atom to atom until it reaches the light source, basically. It's kinda like that one song "100 jugs of milk" or whatever it's called. Each atom passes the atom next to it an electron.

How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?

pishuonlain [190]

Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality.
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave.
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.

Force F acts between a pair of charges, q1 and q2, separated by a distance d. For each of the statements, use the drop-down menu

lora16 [44]

The initial force between the two charges is given by:

$F=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}$

where k is the Coulomb's constant, q1 and q2 the two charges, d their separation. Let's analyze now the other situations:

1. F

In this case, q1 is halved, q2 is doubled, but the distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = \frac{q_1}{2}\\q_2' = 2 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(\frac{q_1}{2})(2q_2)}{d^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=F$

So the force has not changed.

2. F/4

In this case, q1 and q2 are unchanged. The distance between the charges is doubled to 2d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = q_1\\q_2' = q_2\\d' = 2d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{q_1 q_2)}{(2d)^2}=\frac{1}{4} k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=\frac{F}{4}$

So the force has decreased by a factor 4.

3. 6F

In this case, q1 is doubled and q2 is tripled. The distance between the charges remains d.

So, we have:

$q_1' = 2 q_1\\q_2' = 3 q_2\\d' = d$

So, the new force is:

$F'=k \frac{q_1' q_2'}{d'^2}= k \frac{(2 q_1)(3 q_2)}{d^2}=6 k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}=6F$

So the force has increased by a factor 6.

Why was the concern over global cooling replaced with a concern over global warming?

velikii [3]

<span>During 1970s, same observations were seen as what we have observed today pertaining to our climate. Journals were discussing that there would be warming because of greenhouse gases emissions. Also, it was observed between the years 1970 to 1990 that there was a steady surface temperature increase. Due to this, people are now fixated with global warming rather than on global cooling.</span>

What does Pascal's Law state? what are the implications of Pascal's law?

dybincka [34]

Answer:

Pascal's Law states that the pressure applied to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally to all points in the fluid and act in all directions of the container. ... Therefore, it can rightly be said that since the liquid does not flow, it definitely has equal pressure acting on it at all the points.
