Answer:

A positive ion is formed by the removal of electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms.

A negative ion is formed by the addition of electron(s) to an atom or group of atoms.

Explanation:

A positive ion, also known as cation is formed by the removal of electron(s) from an atom or group of atoms until there are fewer electrons than protons. It positive ion because it contains more proton than electron.

A negative ion, also known as anion is formed when an atom or group of atoms gains electron(s) until there are more electrons than protons. It negative ion because it contains more electron than proton.

What’s the voltage of a battery in a circuit with resistance of 3 ohms and current of 5 amps?

alexira [117]

Answer: The correct answer is-15 Volts.

Explanation-

Voltage of a battery can be defined as the difference in electric potential that lies between the positive and negative terminals of a battery.

It can be calculated using Ohm's law, which states that the electric potential difference between two points on a circuit is equal to the product of the current that flows between the two points (I) and the total resistance that sis present between the two points. It can be mathematically depicted as-

ΔV = I • R

Putting the value of 'I' and 'R', we get-

ΔV = 5 X 3

= 15 V

A baseball bat hits a baseball with a force of 100 newtons. What is the force and its direction exerted by the ball on the bat?

Brut [27]

Answer:

The force exerted by the ball on the bat has a magnitude of 100 N and its direction is exactly opposite to that of the force exerted by the bat on the ball.

Explanation:

Recall that Newton's third law tells us that : "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."

Therefore if the bat acts on the ball with a force of 100 N, the ball acts on the bat with a similar magnitude of force (100 N) but direction opposite to the original force.

An American traveler in China carries a transformer to convert China's standard 220 V to 120 V so that she can use some small ap

Arisa [49]

Answer:

(a) The ratio of turns in the primary and secondary coils of her transformer is 1.833

(b) The ratio of input to output current is 0.55

(c) To increase the output voltage, you can either increase the number of turns in the secondary coil (step-up) or increase the input current. Therefore, the Chinese person has to increase the input current of the transformer to achieve an increased output voltage that can power her 220 V appliances.

Explanation:

Given;

input voltage, $V_p$ = 220 V
