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

1 answer:

8 0

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)

Calculate the electric potential energy in a capacitor that stores 4.0 10-10 C of charge at 250.0 V

Arada [10]

Q = C.v
v = Q/C
v = 4 × 10^(-10)/250
= 4 × 10^(-10)/2.5 × 10^2
= 1.6 × 10^(-12) volt

A 20kg object acceleration by a force of 200N with coefficient of kineticfriction is 0.4 what is acceleration of the object?

Schach [20]

Answer:

Given - M = 20 kg

k = 0.4

F = 200 N

To find -  acceleration

Solution - 

F= kMA

200 = 0.4 * 20 * acceleration

200 = 8 * a

a = 8/200

a = 0.04 m s²

The SI unit of power is the

fgiga [73]

Power is measured in watts. A watt is the power that it takes to do one joule ofwork in one second. It can be found using the formula P=Wt. (In this formula, W stands for "work.")Large amounts of energy can be measured in kilowatts (1kW=1×103W), megawatts (1MW=1×106W), or gigawatts (1GW=1×109W). This is helpful This is confusingThe watt is named James Watt, who invented an older unit of power: the horsepower.

How are light waves used to bring far away objects into view and how does the eye translate them?

adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

When focused light is projected onto the retina, it stimulates the rods and cones. The retina then sends nerve signals are sent through the back of the eye to the optic nerve. The optic nerve carries these signals to the brain, which interprets them as visual images.
