What are the difference between conductor and insulator? ​

Physics
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

  • A conductor allows energy e.g. electric charge or heat to pass through it easily. While an insulator does not let electric current or heat to travel through it.
  • Insulators have strong molecular bonds. While molecular bonds are very weak in conductors.
  • Insulators have very low conductivity. While in conductors, it is very high.
  • Insulators have a very high resistance and therefore the electrons are held together very firmly. The conductors, on the other hand, have a very low resistance.
  • Insulators do not have any electric field, neither inside nor on the surface. While in conductors, it is found on the surface and continues to be zero in the inner part of the conductor.

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

When light propagates through two adjacent materials that have different optical properties, some interesting phenomena occur at
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

First, the different indices of refraction must be taken into account (in different media): for example, the refractive index of light in a vacuum is 1 (since vacuum = c).  The value of the refractive index of the medium is a measure of its "optical density":  Light spreads at maximum speed in a vacuum but slower in others  transparent media; therefore in all of them n> 1. Examples of typical values ​​of  are those of air (1,0003), water (1.33), glass (1.46 - 1.66) or diamond (2.42).

The refractive index has a maximum value and a minimum value, which we can calculate the minimum value by means of the following explanation:

The limit or minimum angle, α lim, is defined as the angle of refraction from which  the refracted ray disappears and all the light is reflected. As in the maximum value of  angle of refraction, from which everything is reflected, is βmax = 90º, we can  know the limit angle (the minimum angle that we would have to have to know the minimum index of refraction) by Snell's law:

 βmax = 90º ⇒ n 1x sin α (lim) = n 2 ⇒ sin α lim = n 2 / n 1

Explanation:

When a light ray strikes the separation surface between two media  different, the incident beam is divided into three: the most intense penetrates the second  half forming the refracted ray, another is reflected on the surface and the third is  breaks down into numerous weak beams emerging from the point of incidence in  all directions, forming a set of stray light beams.

A point charge with a charge q1 = 4.00 μC is held stationary at the origin. A second point charge with a charge q2 = -4.10 μC mo
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

W = -0.480 J

Explanation:

given,

q₁ = 4 μC

q₂ = -4.10 μC

W = kq_1q_2(\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b})

b = \sqrt{(0.27-0)^2+(0.27-0)^2}

b = 0.381

k = 8.99 × 10⁹ Nm²/C²

W = 8.99\times 10^9\times 4\times 10^{-6}\times (-4.1 \times 10^{-6})(\dfrac{1}{0.17}+\dfrac{1}{0.381})

W = [-147.436\times (5.88-2.62)\times 10^{-3}]J

W = -0.480 J

Work done by the electric force W = -0.480 J
