What are the difference between conductor and insulator? ​

Physics
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 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.

A pharmacist attempts to weigh 100 milligrams of codeine sulfate on a balance with a sensitivity requirement of 4 milligrams. Ca
ira [324]

Answer:

4 %

2 ) 3.42 %

Explanation:

Sensitivity requirement of 4 milligram means it is not sensitive below 4 milligram or can not measure below 4 milligram .

Given , 4 milligram is the maximum error possible .

Measured weight = 100 milligram

So percentage maximum potential error

= (4 / 100)  x 100

4 %

2 )

As per measurement

weight of 6 milliliters of water

= 48.540 - 42.745 = 5.795 gram

6 milliliters of water should measure 6 grams

Deviation = 6 - 5.795 = - 0.205 gram.

Percentage of error =(.205 / 6 )x 100

= 3.42 %

The table below describes some features of methods used to generate electricity. What is method 3?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

dam/hydro power

Explanation:

estuary is the place where rivers meet the ocean, there are a lot of currents there (waves...) so it likely means thery use a dam or some sort of way of collecting electricity from the motion of the water there. many birds live in estuaries because of being able to find fish to feed from

A garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end ,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\

Therefore the flow is:

V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]
