A polythene rod may be charged by rubbing it with a cloth while being held in the hand but a metal rod cannot be charged in a si

milar way. Explain why
Physics
1 answer:
Kamila [148]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

This is because polythene rod is an insulator , therefore when it is rubbed with a cloth , electrons move easily therefore making it charged but

Metal rod is a conductor, it conduct heat . Therefore, their atoms have electrons that is constantly in motion. Therefore rubbing it with a cloth will make any difference in making it charged because it have very huge number of stable electrons which will not allow more electrons to move through them.

Fittoniya [83]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

1st drop; Motor

2nd drop; Electricity

A device that uses electricity and magnetism to create motion is called a <u>motor</u>. In a reverse process, a device that uses motion and magnesium can be used to create <u>electricity</u>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Motors are device which use electricity and magnetism to create motion.</u></em> They pass alternating current through opposing pairs of magnets to create a rotating magnetic field which creates a magnetic field in the rotor of a motor, making it to spin around.
  • <em><u>Electric motors work in a reverse process by using motion and magnetism to generate electricity. </u></em>When a coil or loops of wire are exposed to a changing magnetic field, an electrical current arises or is induced.

When you whirl a can at the end of a string in a circular path, what is the direction of the force that acts on the can
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Toward the centre of the circular path

Explanation:

The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).

In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
