Yes that's true they do.

A sample of gas will change its shape and size, to take on the exact shape and size of whatever container you put it in.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

she must increase the current by factor of 7

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a steady current flowing in a very long straight wire encircles the wire.In order to solve the question, we use this formula,

B= μo I/(2πr)

where,

'μo' represents permeability of free space i.e 4π*10-7 N/A2

B=magnetic field

I= current

r=radius

->When r= 1cm=> 0.01m

B1 = μo $I_{1$ /(2π x 0.01)

->when r=7cm =>0.07m

B2 = μo $I_{2}$ /(2π x 0.07)

Now equating both of the magnetic fields, we have

B1= B2

μo $I_{1$ /(2π x 0.01)= μo $I_{2}$ /(2π x 0.07)

$I_{1$ / $I_{2}$ = 0.01/0.07

$I_{1$ / $I_{2}$ = 1/ 7

Therefore, she must increase the current by factor of 7

Two bulbs are connected in parallel across a source of EMF = 8.0V with a negligible internal resistance. One bulb has a resistan

Sonja [21]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.18Ω

(b) 3.18Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Let the two bulbs be A and B

Given;

$R_{A}$ = Resistance in bulb A = 3.0Ω

$R_{B}$ = Resistance in bulb B = 2.5Ω

Since the two bulbs are connected in parallel;

i. their effective resistance ( $R_{X}$ ) is given by

$\frac{1}{R_{X}}$ = $\frac{1}{R_{A} }$ + $\frac{1}{R_{B} }$ ---------------(i)

Substitute the values of $R_{A}$ and $R_{B}$ into equation (i)

=> $\frac{1}{R_{X}}$ = $\frac{1}{3.0}$ + $\frac{1}{2.5}$

Solve for $R_{X}$

$R_{X}$ = 1.36Ω

ii. voltage (potential difference), V, across them is the same;

Therefore we can get the total current (I) that will flow through them if the voltage to be supplied is 2.4V.

Use the Ohm's law;

V = I x R -----------------(ii)

Where;

V = voltage across them = 2.4V

I = total current flowing through them

R = their effective resistance = $R_{X}$ = 1.36Ω

Substitute these values into equation (ii) as follows;

2.4 = I x 1.36

I = 2.4 / 1.36

I = 1.76A

(a) Now get the value of R

Since the voltage across the two bulbs is 2.4V out of the 8.0V supplied by the source, then the remaining (8.0 - 2.4 = 5.6)V will pass across the resistor R.

Also, since the two bulbs make a series connection with the resistor R, the same total current (I = 1.76A) that flows through these bulbs will flow through the resistor R.

Therefore, to get the value of R, we use the relation

V = I x R ------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = voltage across the resistor = 5.6V

I = current through the resistor = 1.76A

<em>Substitute these values into equation (iii)</em>

=> 5.6 = 1.76 x R

=> R = 5.6 / 1.76

=> R = 3.18Ω

Therefore, the value of R to be chosen in order to supply each bulb with a voltage of 2.4V is 3.18Ω

(b) The potential difference and voltage across refer to the same thing. Therefore, the value of R that would make the potential difference across each of the bulbs be 2.4V is the same as the one calculated in (a) which is 3.18Ω

which of the following statements best explains how consumers determine growth in technological areas

Mrac [35]

If these were the missing choices:

a) Consumers fill out questionnaires concerning their need for new products.

b) Consumers vote for politicians who decide which kind of research to support

c) Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy

d) Consumers influence the decisions of private foundations by deciding where to donate money.

My answer would be: c) <span>Consumers decide what to buy and what not to buy</span>

Every growth is based on the demand of the people. If a good or service is needed then its demand will increase. If a good or service is not needed then its demand will decrease until such time that said good or service will be eliminated.

Why do atoms like carbon and nitrogen not like to make ions, while sodium and chlorine do?

krok68 [10]

Atoms like carbon and nitrogen do not form ions because the electronegativity of these atoms are not that high nor very low which means electrons are fairly stable in the atom. While chlorine has very high electronegativity and for sodium very low, atoms tend to receive or release electrons.
