Answer:

The electric field can cause the electrons to move around. Through this influence on electrons, we can give a net direction to the motion of the electrons. This is how we generate an electric current

A conductor is an object that conducts electricity through it, the mechanism of conduction of electricity is that, the electrons present in the atoms of the conductor are in rapid motion, and when we apply some potential difference across it by using cell, battery or anything, it causes those electrons to move in a particular direction and we know electrons have negative charge on it which , so the movement of charge ( electrons ) through a conductor causes electric current.

So, from above we conclude that conduction of electric current through a conductor is only possible due to free electrons present in the conductor's atoms.

Question 10 of 34

labwork [276]

Julia walks from the park, which is six blocks east of her house, to the store, which is three blocks east of her house. Julia walks for 5 minutes. This walk's average speed will be 1.2 blocks per minute. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is displacement?</h3>

Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the two points. Distance is the horizontal length covered by the body. While displacement is the shortest distance between the two points.

Displacement is a vector quantity .its unit is m.

The average velocity on this walk will be;

$\rm v_{avg}= \frac{d}{t} \\\\ \rm v_{avg}= \frac{6 \ block+ 3 \ block }{5 \ minute } \\\\ v_{avg}=1.4 \ block /min$

Hence option B is correct.

How many million kilometers is one astronomical unit.

Andrews [41]

Answer:

150 million kilometres

Explanation:

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun and equal to 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) or 8.3 light minutes.

Which of the following describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow?

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

I think the correct answer is the second option. A circuit describes a closed conducting loop through which an electrical current can flow. It is a path that an electrical current could flow. A circuit could be a closed one or an open circuit. A closed circuit would be a circuit where the current could flow continuously. An open circuit would be a type of circuit where the flow current would only go once and stopped at a particular point since the current has nowhere to go. For a circuit to work, an electric supply should be available to supply the electric current.

Consider the hydrogen atom. How does the energy difference between adjacent orbit radii change as the principal quantum number i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:

$E=-E_0 \frac{1}{n^2}$

where

$E_0 = 13.6 eV$ is a constant

n is the level number

We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2})$

We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=-13.6 eV(1-\frac{1}{4})=-13.6 eV(\frac{3}{4})=-10.2 eV$

While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9})=-13.6 eV(\frac{5}{36})=-1.9 eV$

And so on.

So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.
