Why are water storage tanks usually built on towers or hilltops??

Because when you open the faucet, you want the water to
rush out with pressure, not just dribble or ooze out. The
water has to be supplied to the user with pressure. Either
you supply it from a height, or else you'll need to use pumps
to make the pressure.

How long( in hours, will it take for 500 000 C of charge to flow through a diode if it requires

Alina [70]

Answer:

277.78 hours

Explanation:

The formula for calculating the amount of charge is expressed as;

Q = It

I is the current

t is the time

Given

I =0.05A

Q = 50,000C

Required

Time t

Recall that: Q = It

t = Q/I

t = 50,000/0.05

t = 1,000,000secs

Convert to hours

1,000,000secs = 1,000,000/3600

1,000,000secs = 277.78 hours

Hence it will take 277.78 hours for the charge to flow through the diode

Consider one such cell where the magnitude of the potential difference is 65 mV, and the inner surface of the membrane is at a h

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: W = $1.04.10^{-20}$ J

Explanation: Since the potassium ion is at the outside membrane of a cell and the potential here is lower than the potential inside the cell, the transport will need work to happen.

The work to transport an ion from a lower potential side to a higher potential side is calculated by

$W=q.\Delta V$
