If dirt and grease were good conductors of electrical current, then we could make wire
out of dirt and grease instead of expensive copper. Sadly, they're not. So a coating of
dirt and grease on the wire can have a substantial impact on the connection, and can
even block the flow of current across the connection completely. Moreover, in the case
where the ends of the wires are to be soldered, solder does not adhere to dirty wire.
Answer:
The charge on the third object is − 21.7nC
Explanation:
From Gauss's Law
Φ = Q/ε₀
where;
Φ is the total electric flux through the shell = − 533 N⋅m²/C
Q is the total charge Q in the shell = ?
ε₀ is the permittivity of free space = 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
From this equation; Φ = Q/ε₀
Q = Φ * ε₀ = − 533 * 8.85 x 10⁻¹²
Q = −4.7 X 10⁻⁹ C = -4.7nC
Q = q₁ + q₂ + q₃
− 4.7nC = − 14.0 nC + 31.0 nC + q₃
− 4.7nC − 17nC = q₃
− 21.7nC = q₃
Therefore, the charge on the third object is − 21.7nC
Answer:
<h2>volume= 0.85m^3</h2>
Explanation:
<em>The density of a substance is defined as the mass per unit volume of the substance, the unit is in kg/m^3 and it is represented by the greek letter rho</em>
Step one:
given data
we are told that the density of Co2= 1.98 kg/m3
and the mass of Co2 is= 1.70 kg
we know the relation between mass, volume and density is
make volume subject of formula we have
substitute we have
Answer: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, rather it is converted from one form to another
Explanation:
The principle of conversation of energy explains how energy is conserved in nature by being converted from one form to another such that no energy is created nor destroyed.
Practical examples include:
- electrical pressing iron that converts electrical energy to heat energy
- solar panels that converts solar energy to electrical energy
- Car batteries that converts chemical energy to light energy etc
<h2>
Answer:</h2>
(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C
(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J
<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)
Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;
=> Q = 110A·h
=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h [1 hour = 3600 seconds]
=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s
=> Q = 396000A·s
=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C
Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C
(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;
E = Q x V -----------------(i)
Where;
Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C
V = electric potential = 12V
Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;
E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12
E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J
E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J
Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J
