Answer:

Alternating

Explanation:

It is alternating because it is easy to distribute long distance.

Direct current is found in batteries and have large voltage drop over distance.

Answer:

The answer is

A. Pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

Explanation:

 The question is incomplete, here is a complete question with full options

You are caulking a window. The caulk is rather thick and, to lay the bead correctly, the exit nozzle is small. A caulking gun uses a plunger which is operated by pulling back on a handle. You must squeeze the handle very hard to get the caulk to come out of the narrow opening because:_________.

A. pressure is distributed uniformly throughout the fluid and the area of the plunger is much larger than the area of the opening.

B. viscous drag between the walls of the tip and the caulk causes the caulk to swirl around chaotically.

C. Newton’s third law requires most of the energy in the caulk to be used to push back on the plunger rather than moving it through the tip.

D. the high density of the caulk impedes its flow through the small opening.

Since the caulk is thick and the exit nozzle is small, the pressure needed to deliver the caulk will be very high as pressure is uniformly distributed at the plunger side at every part of the caulk, hence very high pressure is needed to deliver the caulk which is why the handle needed the very hard squeeze

A point charge q is located at the center of a spherical shell of radius a that has a charge −q uniformly distributed on its sur
muminat

Answer:

a) E = 0

b) E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

Explanation:

The electric field for all points outside the spherical shell is given as follows;

a) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

From which we have;

E \cdot  A =  \dfrac{{\Sigma Q}}{\varepsilon _{0}} = \dfrac{+q + (-q)}{\varepsilon _{0}}  = \dfrac{0}{\varepsilon _{0}} = 0

E = 0/A = 0

E = 0

b) \phi_E = \oint E \cdot  dA =  \dfrac{\Sigma q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon _{0}}

E \cdot  A  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0}}

E  = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot A} = \dfrac{+q }{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot 4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2}

By Gauss theorem, we have;

E\oint dS =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

Therefore, we get;

E \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0}}

The electrical field outside the spherical shell

E =  \dfrac{q}{\varepsilon _{0} \cdot (4 \cdot \pi \cdot r^2) }= \dfrac{q}{4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} \cdot r^2 }=  \dfrac{q}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} )\cdot r^2 }

k_e=  \dfrac{1}{(4 \cdot \pi \cdot \varepsilon _{0} ) }

Therefore, we have;

E =  \dfrac{k_e \cdot q}{ r^2 }

The first transistor, made of gold, plastic, and germanium (a metallic
Citrus2011 [14]

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was about the size of adult's fingernail.

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The first transistor made of gold, plastic and germanium was invented in Bell laboratories. It is termed as point contact transistor. As it is made like a pointed arrow with both the sides covered with layer of gold foil. The germanium is used at the tip, just like the base and the gold foil ends as collector and emitter.

The size of this transistor is about the size of adult's fingernail. It is very small in size and it was one of its kind. Due to this small size and the working capacity by the point contact, it is termed as point contact transistor.
