: Suppose somebody, using the same apparatus which you used, measured I = 45.5 ma, and V = 8.2 volts on some resistor. Using you

r recorded uncertainties for the 50 ma and 10-volt scales, what would be the maximum % uncertainty in R if it were calculated from the Ohm’s Law Equation (1)? Use calculus methods to answer this question if you can.

Answer:

R = (18 ± 2) 10¹ Ω

ΔR = 2 10¹ Ω

Explanation:

Ohm's law relates voltage to current and resistance

           V = i R

            R = \frac{V}{i}V / i

the absolute error of the resistance is

           ΔR = | | \frac{dR}{DV} | \ \Delta V + | \frac{dR}{di} | \ \Delta i

the absolute value guarantees the worst case, maximum error

           ΔR = \frac{1}{i} \Delta V+ \frac{V}{i^2} \Delta i

The error in the voltage let be approximate, if we use a scale of 10 V, in general the scales are divided into 20 divisions, the error is the reading of 1 division, let's use a rule of direct proportion

          ΔV = 1 division = 10 V / 20 divisions

          ΔV = 0.5 V

The current error must also be approximate, if we have the same number of divisions

           Δi = 50 mA / 20 divisions

           Δi = 2.5 mA

       

let's calculate

          ΔR = \frac{1}{45.5 \ 10^{-3}} \ 0.5 + \frac{8.2}{(45.5 \ 10^{-3})^2 } \ 2.5 \ 10^{-3}

          ΔR = 10.99 + 9.9

          ΔR = 20.9 Ω

The absolute error must be given with a significant figure

          ΔR = 2 10¹ Ω

the resistance value is

          R = 8.2 / 45.5 10-3

          R = 180 Ω

the result should be

          R = (18 ± 2) 10¹ Ω

Describe the quantum mechanical model of the atom and several observations which support this model.
PIT_PIT [208]

This means that we shouldn't imagine electrons as single objects going around the atom. Instead, all we know is the probability of finding an electron at a particular location. What we end up with is something called an electron cloud. An electron cloud is an area of space in which an electron is likely to be found. It's like a 3-D graph showing the probability of finding the electron at each location in space. Quantum mechanics also tells us that a particle has certain numbers (called quantum numbers) that represent its properties. Just like how materials can be hard or soft, shiny or dull, particles have numbers to describe the properties. These include a particle's orbital quantum numbers, magnetic quantum number, and its spin. No two electrons in an atom can have exactly the same quantum numbers. Orbital quantum numbers tell you what energy level the electron is in. In the Bohr model, this represents how high the orbit is above the nucleus; higher orbits have more energy. The first orbit is n=1, the second is n=2, and so on. The magnetic quantum number is just a number that represents which direction the electron is pointing. The other important quantum mechanical property, called spin, is related to the fact that electrons come in pairs. In each pair, one electron spins one way (with a spin of one half), and the other electron spins the other way (with a spin of negative one half). Two electrons with the same spin cannot exist as a pair. This might seem kind of random, but it has effects in terms of how magnetic material is. Materials that have unpaired electrons are more likely to be magnetic

An eccentric inventor attempts to levitate a cork ball by wrapping it with foil and placing a large negative charge on the ball
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

because of the idea that like charges get repulsion as a force.

Explanation:

because you wrap the ball with foil, the negative charges will leave the foil and go into the ball by induction. This leaves the foil as a positively charged particle since its electrons left it for the ball, making the ball a negatively charged particle. but if you bring the negative charge near the foil, the electrons will transfer from that and go into the foil, making it negatively charged. Now, because the ball and the foil have the same charge, they repel. the foil flies off.
