Define conductor and insulator, including how the resistance is different in the two, and give at least one example of each.

Physics

Ratling [72]2 years ago

Answer:

Those substances which can conduct electricity are called conductors, while those substances which don't conduct electricity are called insulators.

Resistance is the obstruction provided by the material through which the current passes,so since conductors conduct electricity and insulators don't,so the obstruction i.e resistance provided by the conductor must be less,while insulators being unable to conduct electricity,has very high resistance.

Example of conductor is copper

Example of insulator is plastic

Two insulated wires, each 2.50 m long, are taped together to form a two-wire unit that is 2.50 m long. One wire carries a curren
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

3.46 A

Explanation:

The force (F) exerted on a wire of a particular length (L) carrying current (I) through a magnetic field (B) at an angle (θ) to the magnetic field is given as

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F = 3.13 N

B = 0.360 T

I = ?

L = 2.50 m

θ = 79°

3.13 = (0.360 × I × 2.5 × sin 79°)

0.8835 I = 3.13

I = 3.54 A

But this is the resultant current in this magnetic field.

Since the two wires are conducting current in opposite directions,

Resultant current = 7 - (current in the other wire)

Current in the other wire = 7 - 3.54 = 3.46 A

A deuteron, 21H, is the nucleus of a hydrogen isotope and consists of one proton and one neutron. The plasma of deuterons in a n
Naddik [55]

Answer:

1917723.40119 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of deuteron = (1.637+1.675)\times 10^{-27}=3.312\times 10^{-27}

k = Boltzmann constant = 1.381\times 10^{-23}\ J/K

T = Temperature = 2.94\times 10^8\ K

RMS velocity is given by

V_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3kT}{m}}\\\Rightarrow V_r=\sqrt{\dfrac{3\times 1.381\times 10^{-23}\times 2.94\times 10^8}{3.312\times 10^{-27}}}\\\Rightarrow V_r=1917723.40119\ m/s

The RMS velocity of the deutrons is 1917723.40119 m/s

You throw a rock upward. The rock is moving upward, but it is slowing down. If we define the ground as the origin, the position
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

A. Positive, positive

Explanation:

As we defined the ground is the origin, as long as the rock is above the ground, its position would always be positive.

As for velocity, as long as the rock is moving upwards, its direction is also upward, so its velocity is always positive. The velocity will become negative when the rock falls down.

What is NOT a 21st-century skill that can help a person thrive today?
Soloha48 [4]

Ability to memorize and regurgitate information on tests is the skill that can’t help a person to thrive today in this modern 21st century.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Thriving in this modern 21st century is not as easy as it used to be in the early 20th and 19th centuries.  So there is a need to develop skills like implementing one's knowledge to real-world structures which will sure help a person to understand and explore more.

Statement B also will sure be helpful to survive in modern society and a person can also improve his/her critical thinking, problem solving and other skills to thrive through this century.

But even though memorizing and regurgitating information can help you get good grade it will never be that helpful in other ways, So option D can be concluded as the right answer.

A ray diagram is shown.
Masja [62]

Answer:

Z

Explanation:

The figure represented the ray diagrams produced by a convex (converging lens). The image will appear at the point where the purple ray and the orange ray meet, so at point Z.

As we see from the picture, the image will be:

- Real (because it is behind the lens, and it can be projected on a screen)

- Inverted (the image is upside down)

- Larger than the object (we can see it by noticing that the distance between the point of intersection purple-orange ray and the axis is larger than the size of the object)
