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

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

an electric current of 285.0 ma flows 674. milliseconds. Calculate the amount of electric charge transported. Be sure your answe
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

<em>The amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C</em>

Explanation:

Electric Charge: This is defined as the product of electric current and time in an electric circuit, The S.I unit of electric charge is Coulombs (C)

Q = It..................... Equation 1

Where Q = Electric charge, I = electric current, t = time.

<em>Given:</em> I = 285 mA, t = 674 milliseconds.

<em>Conversion: (i) Convert from 285 mA to A = (285/1000) A = 0.285 A</em>

<em>       (ii) convert from 674 milliseconds to seconds = (674/1000) s = 0.674 s          </em>

Substituting these values into equation 1

Q = 0.285 × 0.674

<em>Q = 0.192 C</em>

<em>Therefore the amount of electric charge transported = 0.192 C</em>

<em></em>

1. Do you think that hand signals are important in officiating games? why?​
alex41 [277]

Yeah, hand signals are important in officiating games. The hand signals are given by the referee who first signals the fault and then indicates which team has won the point. A point is indicated by one finger at the side of the court to indicate the winner of the rally.

The conducting path between the right hand and the left hand can be modeled as a 9.0-cm-diameter, 140-cm-long cylinder. The aver
Crank

Answer:

The potential difference is 121.069 V

Solution:

As per the question:

Diameter of the cylinder, d = 9.0 cm = 0.09 m

Length of the cylinder, l = 40 cm = 1.4 m

Average Resistivity, \rho = 5.5\ \Omega-m

Current, I = 100 mA = 0.1 A

Now,

To calculate the potential difference between the hands:

Cross- sectional Area of the Cylinder, A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2} = 6.36\times 10^{- 3}\ m^{2}

Resistivity is given by:

\rho = R\frac{A}{l}

R = \rho \frac{l}{A}

R = 5.5\times \frac{1.4}{6.36\times 10^{- 3}} = 1210.69\ \Omega

Now, using Ohm's Law:

V = IR

V = 0.1\times 1210.69 = 121.069\ V
