For a point charge, how does the potential vary with distance from the point charge, r?

a constant

b. r.

c. 1/r.

d. $1/r^2$ .

e. $r^2$ .

Answer:

The correct option is C

Explanation:

Generally for a point charge the electric potential is mathematically represented as

$V = \frac{k Q }{r }$

Here we can deduce that the electric potential varies inversely with the distance i.e

$V \ \alpha \ \frac{1}{r}$

A circuit consists of one 330 ohm resistor in series with two other resistors (470 ohms and 220 ohms) connected in parallel. Wha

umka21 [38]

Answer:

power drain on an ideal battery, P = 0.017 W

Given:

$R_{1} = 330\ohm$

$R_{2} = 470\ohm$

$R_{3} = 220\ohm$

Since, $R_{2} = 470\ohm$ and $R_{3} = 220\ohm$ are in parallel and this combination is in series with $R_{1} = 330\ohm$ , so,

Equivalent resistance of the circuit is given by:

$R_{eq} = \frac{R_{2}R_{3}}{R_{2} + R_{3}} + R_{1}$

$R_{eq} = \frac{470\times 220}{470 + 220} + 330$

$R_{eq} = 149.85 + 330 = 479.85 \ohm$

power drain on an ideal battery, P = $\frac{V^{2}}{R_{eq}}$

P = $\frac{2.9^{2}}{479.85}$

P = 0.017 W

Iron oxide reacts with aluminum to give aluminum oxide and iron. What kind of chemical reaction is this?

galben [10]

The answer is C. replacement

This would be an example of a replacement type of reaction. As the iron is replaced with the aluminum in the reaction.

a sound has a frequency of 230 hz. what is the velocity of this sound if it has a wavelength of 46 cm?

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

V=f×λ

Where,

V is the velocity of the wave measure using m/s.

f is the frequency of the wave measured using Hz.

λ is the wavelength of the wave measured using m.

transform 46 cm in m = 0.46m and there u have it

A wave can be described as

rewona [7]

A wave can be described as the disturbance of particles in an area. Think about it this way: particles (matter) carry energy. For all the laws of physics to work, this energy must be "traded" somehow. This happens by miniscule vibrations in the particles, which are apparent disturbances. This creates a wave, and therefore a wave is, indeed, a disturbance.<span />

Why was Alessandro Volta's battery important to the evolution of electromagnetics and on the present

Sonbull [250]

Alessandro Volta's battery was a simple and reliable source of electric current, which allowed scientists to study electricity better than they could with previous sources, such as the Leyden jar, and allowed the development of new technology powered by electricity.
