Answer:
Radiation effects on electrical equipment depend on the equipment and on the type of ionizing radiation to which it is exposed.
First, beta radiation has little, if any, effect on electrical equipment because this type of ionizing radiation is easily shielded. The equipment housing and the construction of the parts within the housing will protect the equipment from beta-radiation (high-energy electrons) exposure.
Gamma radiation is penetrating and can affect most electrical equipment. Simple equipment (like motors, switches, incandescent lights, wiring, and solenoids) is very radiation resistant and may never show any radiation effects, even after a very large radiation exposure. Diodes and computer chips (electronics) are much more sensitive to gamma radiation. To give you a comparison of effects, it takes a radiation dose of about 5 Sv to cause death to most people. Diodes and computer chips will show very little functional detriment up to about 50 to 100 Sv. Also, some electronics can be "hardened" (made to be not affected as much by larger gamma radiation doses) by providing shielding or by selecting radiation-resistant materials.
Some electronics do exhibit a recovery after being exposed to gamma radiation, after the radiation is stopped. But the recovery is hardly ever back to 100% functionality. Also, if the electronics are exposed to gamma radiation while unpowered, the gamma radiation effects are less.
Ionizing radiation breaks down the materials within the electrical equipment. For example, when wiring is exposed to gamma rays, no change is noticed until the wiring is flexed or bent. The wire's insulation becomes brittle and will break and may cause shorts in the equipment. The effect on diodes and computer chips is a bit more complex. The gamma rays disrupt the crystalline nature of the inside of the electronic component. Its function is degraded and then fails as more gamma radiation exposure is received by the electronic component.
Gamma rays do not affect the signals within the device or the signals received by the device. Nonionizing radiation (like radio signals, microwaves, and electromagnetic pulses) DO mess with the signals within and received by the device. I put a cheap electronic game in my microwave oven at home. It arced and sparked and was totally ruined. I didn’t waste any more of my time playing that game.
Hope this helps.

The reaction of removing CO2
using LiOH is the following:
2 LiOH + CO2 -----> Li2CO3
+ H2O
By solving the amount of CO2
the LiOH can scrub:
(3.50 × 10^4 g LiOH) (1 mol LiOH/
24 g LiOH) ( 1 mol CO2 / 2 mol LiOH) ( 44 g CO2 /1 mol CO2) = 32, 083.33 g CO2
it can scrub
<span>Since number of astronaut = 32,
083.33 g / 9 (8.8 × 10^2) = 4 astronaut</span>
Answer:
The Phosphorylated glucose(glucose +inorganic phosphate), with the energy supplied from ATP hydrolysis formed glucose 6- phosphate, which is later converted to 2 molecules of fructose 6-phosphate- this is phosphorylation.And represented the fate of glucose -6-phosphate.
The fructose 6-phosphate are converted to triose phosphate- which is a 2-molecules of 3C compound. The latter is oxidized by NAD→ NADH+ to form intermediates in the glycolytic pathways .
These intermediates are converted to ribose 5-phosphates in the presence of transketolase and transaldolase enzymes.And they are finally converted to pyruvate in the glycolytic pathway with the production of 2ATPs per molecule of glucose.
Basically the phosphate pathway reaction is very slow due to enzyme catalysis.
Answer:
Explanation:
sp² hybridization is found in those compounds having double bond .
Out of the given compounds only C₂H₂Cl₂ has double bond so this compound contains carbon with sp² hybridization .
Rest have sp³ hybridization because they are saturated compounds .
Answer:
Independent: sizes of nails
Dependent: number of paper clips
Controlled: Battery, wire and type of nails
Explanation:
An independent variable is a variable which when changes does not the effect the results of the experiment. It does not depends upon the dependent variable.
A dependent variable is defined as a variable which is affected when the independent variable is changed by the researcher or the experimenter. It depends greatly upon the independent variable.
While a controlled variable is that variable whose value is not changed in an experiment. It contains all the constants.
In the context,
the independent variable are : sizes of nails
the dependent variables are : number of paper clips
the Controlled variables are: Battery, wire and type of nails
