1. What is static electricity?​

Physics
1 answer:
cluponka [151]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

<h3>a stationary electric charge, typically produced by friction, which causes sparks or crackling or the attraction of dust or hair.Static electricity has several uses, also called applications, in the real world. One main use is in printers and photocopiers where static electric charges attract the ink, or toner, to the paper. Other uses include paint sprayers, air filters, and dust removal. Static electricity can also cause damage.Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.</h3>

One of the factors that determines the ? of a capacitor is the frequency measured in hertz.
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The reactance of the capacitor

Explanation:

In an AC circuit containing different elements (capacitors, resistors and inductors), we cannot simply calculate the equivalent resistance of the circuit, so another quantity is used, which is called reactance.

For a capacitor, the reactance is given by:

X=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}

where:

f is the frequency of the AC current in the circuit

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

The reactance has a similar meaning to that of the resistance for a DC current. In fact, we notice that:

- When f=0 (which means we are in regime of DC current, because the current never changes direction), the reactance is infinite. This is correct: in a DC circuit, the capacitor does not let current pass through it, so it like it has infinite resistance (=infinite reactance)

- When f tends to infinite, the reactance becomes zero: in such situation, the current in the circuit changes direction so quickly that the capacitor has no enough time to "block" the current in the circuit, so it like it has almost zero resistance (zero reactance).

The terminals of a battery are connected across two resistors in series. The resistances of the resistors are not the same. Whic
Vesna [10]

Answer:

(c) The current in each resistor is the same.

Explanation:

When two resistors are connected in series, we have the following:

- The resistors are connected such that the current passing through the two resistors is the same

- The voltage of the battery is equal to the sum of the voltage drops across each resistor

- the equivalent resistance of the circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R = R1 + R2

So, let's analyze each statement:

(a) The resistor with the smaller resistance carries more current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(b) The resistor with the larger resistance carries less current than the other resistor. --> FALSE. The current through the two resistors is the same.

(c) The current in each resistor is the same. --> TRUE.

(d) The potential difference across each resistor is the same. --> FALSE: the potential difference across each resistor is given by

V=RI

where I (the current) is the same for both resistors, while R (the resistance) is not, so V is also different for the two resistors.

(e) The potential difference is greatest across the resistor closest to the positive terminal --> FALSE. According to

V=RI

the potential difference depends only on the value of the resistance, so it doesn't matter which resistor is connected to the positive terminal.

An airplane maintains a speed of 585 km/h relative to the air it is flying through as it makes a trip to a city 815 km away to t
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

a)   t = 1.47 h    b) t = 1.32 h

Explanation:

a)  In this problem the plane and the wind are in the same North-South direction, whereby the vector sum is reduced to the scalar sum (ordinary). Let's calculate the total speed

     v = v_{f}f - v_{w}

     v = 585 -32.1

     v = 552.9 km / h

We use the speed ratio in uniform motion

     v = x / t

     t = x / v

     t = 815 /552.9

     t = 1.47 h

b)  We repeat the calculation, but this time the wind is going in the direction of the plane

      v=  v_{f}f - v_{w}

      v 585 + 32.1

      v = 617.1 km / h

      t = 815 /617.1

      t = 1.32 h

A student constructs a simple constant volume gas thermometer and calibrates it using the boiling point of water, 100°C, and the
just olya [345]

Answer:

The pressure corresponding to the absolute zero temperature is 0.997atm.

Explanation:

To solve this question, you draw a straight vertical line with the boiling point temperature and pressure on top of the line and the freezing point temperature and pressure on the lower part. The absolute temperature somewhere in the middle of the line with the pressure to be obtained.

So, we have;

0- (-19) / 100 - (-19) = P - 0.9267 / 1.366 - 0.9267

19 / 119 = P - 0.9267 / 0.4393

Cross multiply, we have

19 * 0.4393 = 119(P -0.9267)

8.3467 = 119P - 110.2773

119P = 118.624

P = 0.997 atm

So at 0°C, the pressure of the thermometer is 0.997atm.
