A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels, to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat, may be used as part of motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical

What is the critical angle of light traveling from benzene (n=1.501) into air?
Taya2010 [7]
The critical angle formula should be: sin^-1(1/n) 

 where "n" is 1.501 into the air

<span>The critical angle of light travelling from benzene, happens because the larger angles of incidence from the inside of the benzene has experienced the total internal reflection. </span>

Describe the composition of humus and why it is an effective organic fertilizer
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

soil additive

Explanation:

Soil Additive

The three main components of humus are fulvic acid, humic acid and humin. The spongy nature of humus helps it to trap and hold water, this particular property also helps to aerate the soil as humus expands and contracts with available water.

What is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic?
Montano1993 [528]
In physical chemistry, the terms body-centered cubic  (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) refer to the cubic crystal system of a solid. Each solid is made up simple building blocks called lattice units. There are different layouts of a lattice unit.

It is better understood using 3-D models shown in the picture. A BCC unit cell has one lattice point in the center, together with eight corner atoms which represents 1/8 of an atom. Therefore, there are 1+ 8(1/8) = 2 atoms in a BCC unit cell. On the other hand, a FCC unit cell is composed of half of an atom in each of its faces and 1/8 of an atom in its corners. Therefore, there are (1/2)6 + (1/8)8 = 4 atoms in a FCC unit cell.
