How are conductors and insulators alike and different?

1 answer:

8 0

Both of them are substances which comes between the path of electricity but the difference is that one let the electricity to pass that is conductor and other acts as breaker in the connection which is a insulator.

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.

Answer:

Depending on where people are located in the world (Northern hemisphere, Southern hemisphere, etc) depends on the difference in direction (North, South, east, West) which is most likely why it'd look different.

A certain water wave has a wavelength of 25 m and a frequency of 4.0 Hz. What is its velocity?

babymother [125]

Wave speed = frequency * wavelength
Wave speed = 4 * 25
Wave speed = 100 m/s

How do you find the capacitance in this?

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

parallel capacitances add directly

Series capacitances add by reciprocal of sum of reciprocals.

Ceq = [ C ] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C)] + [1 / (1/C + 1/C + 1/C)]

Ceq = [ C ] + [C / 2] + [C / 3]

Ceq = [ 6C/6 ] + [3C / 6] + [2C / 6]

Ceq = 11C/6

Which type of macromolecules a cell brake down food?

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Hope this helps you find the answer

Explanation:

The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them—either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules.
