Answer:

Gold is not used for making electric wires because it is too rare, and too costlier than Copper. Silver and copper are used for making wires. Copper is almost used in electric lines

What are loops of gas on sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together?

love history [14]

So we want to know what are loops of gas on the Sun that link different parts of sunspot regions together. A large and bright gaseous feature that extends from the surface of the Sun that links different parts of sunspot regions together is called Prominence. They are on the Suns surface in the photosphere and they extend outwards into the Corona.

A lamp is 10% efficient.How much electrical energy must be supplied to the lamp each second if it produces 20 J of light energy

k0ka [10]

If it produces 20J of light energy in a second, then that 20J is the 10% of the supply that becomes useful output.

20 J/s = 10% of Supply

20 J/s = (0.1) x (Supply)

Divide each side by 0.1:

Supply = (20 J/s) / (0.1)

<em>Supply = 200 J/s </em>(200 watts)

========================

Here's something to think about: What could you do to make the lamp more efficient ? Answer: Use it for a heater !

If you use it for a heater, then the HEAT is the 'useful' part, and the light is the part that you really don't care about. Suddenly ... bada-boom ... the lamp is 90% efficient !

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The PROTONS in the can attract to the negatively charged object, so then the can becomes polarized and the ELECTRONS in the can attract the positively charged object.

Why you cannot use an elastic measuring tape to measure distance. What problem you may face if you use it

Stells [14]

The problem you would encounter is measuring the height of two different people, a tall one and a short one, and getting the same answer for both of them.

No matter WHAT we're hearing out of the White House these days, you CAN'T bend and stretch your standard measuring devices, or any other 'facts', to make them fit the thing that you're measuring. This does not work. You're always entitled to your own opinions, but you're not entitled to your own facts.

A parallel-plate capacitor connected to a battery becomes fully charged. After the capacitor from the battery is disconnected, t

Valentin [98]

Answer:

C.)The energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a capacitor is given by:

C₁ = ∈A/d...............................(1)

If the distance between the plates is doubled

C₂ = ∈A/2d.............................(2a)

From equations (1) and (2), the relationship between C₁ and C₂ is:

C₂ = C₁/2....................................(2b)

The original Energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

E₁ = Q²/2C₁...............................(3)

On doubling the separation between the capacitance plates

E₂ = Q²/2C₂...............................(4a)

E₂ = Q²/2 * 1/C₂........................(4b)

Putting equation (2b) into (4b)

E₂ = Q²/2 * 2/C₁

E₂ = Q²/C₁.....................................(5)

Comparing equations (3) and (5)

E₂ = 2E₁

Therefore, the energy stored in the capacitor doubles its original value
