Why are conductors better than insulators to carry electric current

1 answer:

5 0

Conductors are better than insulators to carry electric current because they give the electricity the ability to flow freely throughout circuits. This helps the insulator to do its job of containing the electric charge. Examples of this would be a tv plug - the rubber surrounding the TV plug helps to keep the conductors (wires) in place, thus helping to facilitate an electric charge.

Consider the market for paper. Let market demand be given by inverse demand function P d (Q) = 60 − Q, where Q is tons of paper

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

See explaination

Explanation:

Demand for paper is given below:

P(Q)=60-Q,

Number of paper mills=20

The cost curve for firm is given below:

C(Q)=10Q2

The external cost in terms of pollution down river by production of paper is given below:

EC(Q)=10Q2

a. The optimal level of paper production by market can be calcuated by equating MC=P

20Q=P

Q=P/20

b. The optimal level of paper production by market can be calcuated by equating MC=P.

MC=20Q

60-(20Q)=20Q

Q=60/40

Q=1.5

Total quanity by 20 firms will be 1.5*20=30

c. The socially efficient level of paper output is calcuated below:

MC+EC'=20Q+20Q

60-(20Q)=40Q

Q=60/60

Q=1

Total quanity by 20 firms will be 1*20=20

The price will be P=60-20=40

d, The deadweight loss occurs as market price increases and quantity decreases due to the external cost . The deadweight loss is calcuated below:

DWL=(1/2)*change in price* change in quantity

=(1/2)*10*10=50

e. 20 firms merged into one firm to make monopoly firm. The cost function for the monopoly is given below:

Cm(Q)=20*10(Q/20)2

The marginal cost for the monopoly firm will be

MCm=Q

The marginal revenue for the firm is 60-2Q

For optimal output MR is equated to MC

60-2Q=Q

Q=20

P=40.

The monopoly outcome is below the perfect competition outcome and price is higher in comparison to perfect competition. The monopoly outcome is same as socially efficient outcome.

The total surplus for this outcome is sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus and subtraction of external cost

TS=CS+PS-EC

=(1/2)*20*20+(1/2)*40*20-10(20)2

=600-4000=-3400

Due to the external effects the total surplus to the society is negative. In perfect competition this effect is not considered and output produced is high therefore, the external cost will be higher with higher output leading to higher negative social surplus. Generally the monopoly outcome reduces the total social surplus but in case of externality, the monopoly total surplus is higher than the perfect competition.

For the product of the reaction below, which proton is removed irreversibly by NaNH2 base, thus preventing any isomerization of

Serggg [28]

Answer:

The Highly acidic proton joined to one of the carbon in the ALKYNE bond.

(Kindly Check the attachment for the drawing because the solution will need us to draw).

Explanation:

So, let us start by defining some major key terms in this particular Question given above;

(1). ISOMERIZATION: isomerization can simply be defined as the kind is of chemical rearrangement whichay lead to the breaking and the formation of new bonds.

(2). NaNH2 BASE: Sodium amide is a Chemical compound which has a Molar mass of 39.01 g/mol and Heat capacity (C) of 66.15 J/mol K. It is also known as sodamide. It is a good nucleophile.

(3). ALKYNE BOND: it is a C-C joined together by three bonds.

The chemical reaction given in the Question is given in the attachment too.

Therefore, The Highly acidic proton joined to one of the carbon in the ALKYNE bond is removed irreversibly by NaNH2 base.
