Answer:

A. Air

Explanation:

A thermal insulator is a material that does not let the heat trasmitting through it, or it transmits heat not very efficiently.

Generally, the lower the density of the material, the better insulator the material is: this is because in materials with very low density, particles are very spread apart, so they cannot collide with each other, and so the vibrations of the particles (which determine how hot a substance is) cannot be transmitted very efficiently.

In the options listed in this problem, air is the material with lowest density, therefore it is the best thermal insulator among them.

The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The permittivity of rubber is  \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  magnitude of the point charge is  q_1 =  70 \ nC  =  70 *10^{-9} \  C

      The diameter of the rubber shell is  d = 32 \ cm  =  0.32 \ m

       The Electric field inside the rubber shell is  E =  2500 \ N/ C

The radius of the rubber is  mathematically evaluated as

              r =  \frac{d}{2} =  \frac{0.32}{2}  =  0.16 \ m

Generally the electric field for a point  is in an insulator(rubber) is mathematically represented as

         E =  \frac{Q}{ \epsilon }  *  \frac{1}{4 *  \pi r^2}

Where \epsilon is the permittivity of rubber

    =>     E  *  \epsilon  *  4 * \pi *  r^2 =  Q

   =>      \epsilon  =  \frac{Q}{E *  4 *  \pi *  r^2}

substituting values

            \epsilon  =  \frac{70 *10^{-9}}{2500 *  4 *  3.142 *  (0.16)^2}

            \epsilon  = 8.703 *10^{-11}

Whats the Independent and Dependent Variables
astra-53 [7]
The independent variable is the type of fuel used and the dependent variable is the speed of the race car. The independent variable could be changed through the experimental process to see its relation with the dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is the result of the independent variable changes.</span>

The magnetic field is 0.0 2M from the wire is 0.1 T what is the magnitude of the magnetic field 0.0 1M from the same wire
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

0.2 T

Explanation:

Magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from wire since the distance is halved therefore magnetic field will be doubled.
