A dielectric material, such as Teflon®, is placed between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor without altering the structure of the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is held fixed. How is the electric field between the plates of the capacitor affected? The electric field becomes infinite because of the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field becomes zero after the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field increases because of the insertion of the Teflon®. The electric field is not altered, because the structure remains unchanged. SubmitRequest Answer Provide Feedback Next

Answer: The electric field decreases because of the insertion of the Teflon.

Explanation:

If the charge on the capacitor is held fixed, the electric field as a consequence of this charge distribution (directed from the positive charged plate to the negative charged one remains unchanged.

However, as the Teflon is a dielectric material, even though doesn't allow the free movement of the electrons as an answer to an applied electric field, it allows that the electrons be displaced from the equilibrium position, leaving a local negative-charged zone close to the posiitive plate of the capacitor, and an equal but opposite charged layer close to the negative plate.

In this way, a internal electric field is created, that opposes to the external one due to the capacitor, which overall effect is diminishing the total electric field, reducing the voltage between the plates, and  increasing the capacitance proportionally to the dielectric constant of the Teflon.

Answer:

Ammonia gas a hazardous gas to our health, when we are exposed to it for a long time. The gas is lighter than air, that means it's high concentration may not be noticed at the point of leakage, because it flows with the wind direction. Ammonia gas detector are used to determine the concentration of the gas at a particular place. We can use the dispersion modelling software program to know the exact position, where we can place the gas detector, which would be where evacuation is needed.

During evacuation, when the concentration of the gas has increased, a self-contained breathing apparatus should be used for breathing, and an encapsulated suit should be worn to prevent ammonia from reacting with our sweat or any other chemical burn. A mechanic ventilation will also be needed in the place of evacuation, so that the ammonia concentration in that area can be dispersed.

Explain the four criteria for proving the correctness of a logical pretest loop construct of the form "while B do S end". And pr
evablogger [386]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The loop invariant has to satisfy some amount of requirements to be of good use. Another complex factor as to why a loop is the question of loop termination. A loop that doesn’t terminate can’t invariably be correct, and in fact the computation in whatever form amounts to nothing. The total axiomatic description of a while construct will have to involve all of the following to be true, in which I is the loop invariant:

P => I

{I and B} S {I}

(I and (not B)) => Q

Then the loop terminates

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Explanation:

For ligation process the 1:3 vector to insert ratio is the good to utilize . By considering that we can take 1 ratio of vector and 3 ratio of insert ( consider different insert size ) and take 10 different vials of ligation ( each calculated using different insert size from low to high ) and plot a graph for transformation efficiency and using optimum transformation efficiency we can find out the insert size.
