yuradex [85]

A) Rubber stops charges from flowing. This protects people by stopping electricity from flowing.

Explanation:

The statement that best describes the point of wrapping rubber around the copper wire is that the rubber stops charges from flowing. This prevents people from getting electrical shocks by stopping the flow of electricity.

A rubber is an insulator.
Insulators are substances that prevents the flow of electricity.
The lack free mobile electrons or ions that makes them conductors.
When they are wrapped round a conductor such as copper wire, they will halt the flow of charges.
Copper is a conductor of both heat and electricity. It has free mobile electrons.

When a certain air-filled parallel-plate capacitor is connected across a battery, it acquires a charge of magnitude 172 μC on ea

crimeas [40]

Answer:

k = 2.279

Explanation:

Given:

Magnitude of charge on each plate, Q = 172 μC

Now,

the capacitance, C of a capacitor is given as:

C = Q/V

where,

V is the potential difference

Thus, the capacitance due to the charge of 172 μC will be

C = $\frac{(172\ \mu C)}{V}$

Now, when the when the additional charge is accumulated

the capacitance (C') will be

C' = $\frac{(172+220)\ \mu C)}{V}$

or

C' = $\frac{(392)\ \mu C)}{V}$

now the dielectric constant (k) is given as:

$k=\frac{C'}{C}$

substituting the values, we get

$k=\frac{\frac{(392\ \mu C)}{V}}{\frac{(172)\ \mu C)}{V}}$

or

k = 2.279

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i

Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up
