The liquid in a thermometer is sometimes colored alcohol but can also be a metallic liquid called mercury. Mercury and alcohol expand when heated and shrink when cooled. Inside the glass tube of a thermometer, the liquid has no place to go but up when the temperature is hot and down when the temperature is cold. That's how a thermometer that uses liquid to measure temperature.

A rule of thumb is that liquid expands when heated, so when liquid is in a given space one can measure how far the liquid moves when it gets heated.

When two or more capacitors are connected in series across a potential difference:

34kurt

Answer:

A) and B) are correct.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at the attached picture. Now

The total voltage across both capacitors is the same as the sum of the voltage from each device, that statement is true for any electrical device connected in series. So a) is TRUE

The equivalent capacitance is going to be: $\frac{1}{C_{total}}=\frac{1}{C_1} +\frac{1}{C_2}$

And that value can be mathematically proven that is always less than any of the values of each capacitor. So b is TRUE

And through both capacitors flow the same current, but the amount of charge depends on the value of the capacitors, so only could be the same if the capacitors are the same value. Otherwise, don't. C) not always, so FALSE

Answer: C. Metal transfers heat away from the skin by conduction, creating the sensation of coolness.

Explanation: The skin releases heat into the metal bowl since there is a difference in temperature between the two objects. So heat is taken away from the hand abd transfers into the metal bowl by conduction creating a cooler sensation.
