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

The electric field due to two point charges is found by: a) finding the stronger field. The net field will just be equal to the
alekssr [168]

Answer:

b)determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

Explanation:

The electric Field is a vector quantity, in other words it has a magnitude and a direction. On the other hand, the electric field follows the law of superposition. The electric field produced by two elements is equal to the sum of the electric fields produced by each element when the other element is not present. in other words, the total electric field is solved determining the electric field due to each charge and adding them together as vectors.

Need Help with this physics question, just a written response
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.
