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.

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled

Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

$C=kC_0$

where

k is the dielectric constant

$C_0$ is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

$C_0=1.2 nF$ is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

$C=3.0 nF$ is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

$k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5$

The main difference between a series and a parallel circuit is that

ale4655 [162]

C) is correct

series circuit - in the same path : current flow on one path so they are equal on each component and equal to the source's. voltage on each components may be different.

parallel circuit - between same nodes : voltage of the components are equal and equal to the source's. current on each components may be different.
