Answer:

Sixty percent of all active volcanoes occur at the boundaries between tectonic plates. Most volcanoes are found along a belt, called the “Ring of Fire” that encircles the Pacific Ocean. Some volcanoes, like those that form the Hawaiian Islands, occur in the interior of plates at areas called “hot spots.”

Explanation:

Volcanoes are found around tectonic plates because the convection currents move the plates. Where convection currents diverge near the Earth's crust, plates move apart. Where convection currents converge, plates move towards each other, plates converge and the plates move together, also known as ridge push, therefore mountains and volcanoes are formed

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

Net flux through the surface is zero.

Explanation:

Recall that the net electric flux through a closed surface depends on the net charge enclosed inside that surface.

In our case, there are two point charges of exactly opposite charge (net charge - zero), which are located inside the Gaussian surface of radius "2 a" centered at the origin - both charges are located at a distance "a" from the origin of coordinates, therefore inside the Gaussian surface.

Then the net flux through the surface is also ZERO.

Technician A says test lights are great for quick tests on non-computerized circuits. Technician B says you can use a test light

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

that technician A is right

Explanation:

The test lights are generally small bulbs that are turned on by the voltage and current flowing through the circuit in analog circuits, these two values are high and can light the bulb. In digital circuits the current is very small in the order of milliamps, so there is not enough power to turn on these lights.

From the above it is seen that technician A is right

Yuri [45]

Answer:

the question is incomplete, the complete question is

"A circular coil of radius r = 5 cm and resistance R = 0.2 ? is placed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of the coil. The magnitude of the field changes with time according to B = 0.5 e^-t T. What is the magnitude of the current induced in the coil at the time t = 2 s?"

2.6mA

Explanation:

we need to determine the emf induced in the coil and y applying ohm's law we determine the current induced.

using the formula be low,

$E=-\frac{d}{dt}(BACOS\alpha )\\$
