Why are conductors and insulators both required to construct the electrical wiring in our home

Physics
1 answer:
alisha [4.7K]2 years ago

Conductors are materials with many free electrons, so they allow electrical current to flow through them. Therefore, conductors are required in order to bring electricity to every room of the house.

Insulators, instead, are materials with few or no free electrons, so electrical currents do not flow through them. In the electrical wiring of the houses, they are used in order to isolate the conductive elements of the wire from other conductive materials (in fact, if the conductive elements touch other conductive elements of the house, part of the current would be dissipated)

slega [8]

Hi there!

Angular momentum is equivalent to:

\large\boxed{L = I\omega}

L = angular momentum (kgm²/s)

I = moment of inertia (kgm²)

ω = angular velocity (rad/sec)

Plug in the given values for moment of inertia and angular speed:

L = (0.028)(40) = \boxed{1.12 kgm^2/s}

A circular coil 14.0 cm in diameter and containing nine loops lies flat on the ground. The Earth's magnetic field at this locati
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a)T = 2.9*10^{-5} N-m

b) north edge will rise up

Explanation:

torque on the coil is given as

T = NIABsin\theta

where N is number of loop =  9 loops

i is current = 7.80 A

-B -earth magnetic field = 5.00*10^{-5} T

A- area of circular coil

A = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

A =\frac{\pi .14^{2}}{4}

A =0.015 m2

PUTITNG ALL VALUE TO GET TORQUE

T = 9*7.8*0.015*5*10^{-5} sin{90-56}

T = 2.9*10^{-5} N-m

b) north edge will rise up

What is the correlation between wire guage and electromagnet strength
CaHeK987 [17]
<span>Whenever I have problems with the magnetic field strength of an electromagnet people tell to use a finer wire, I have some, its thickness is not more then the thickness of a hair, but whenever I use it, I have difficulty in connecting it with the battery because it's so thin it easily breaks off, and when I turn on the switch, it burns up instantly, maybe I am not using enough length of it.</span>
