Electrical resistance is an objects ability to resist or oppose current which means its resistance is defined as ohms since that is the person who discovered it. And an experiment to study this would be a multimeter in a circuit testing current and change the material of the wire allowing you to see the change in current due to change in resistance

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]
The technical definition of latitude is the angular distance north or south from the earth's equator measured through 90 degrees. ... Locations at lower latitudes receive stronger and more direct sunlight than locations near the poles. Energy input from the sun is the main driving force in the atmosphere.



The Seasons at Different Latitudes
The seasonal effects are different at different latitudes on Earth. Near the equator, for instance, all seasons are much the same. Every day of the year, the Sun is up half the time, so there are approximately 12 hours of sunshine and 12 hours of night.



When we consider Latitude alone as a control, we know that the low latitudes (say from the Equator to approximately 30 degrees N/S) are the warmest across the year (on an annual basis).

What will change the velocity of a periodic wave?
Georgia [21]
If it's a mechanical wave, then its speed depends on the physical characteristics of the medium.

If it's an electromagnetic wave, then its speed depends on the
electrical characteristics of the medium.

Either way, the properties of the medium determine the wave speed.
You want to change the speed ?  You have to change the properties
of the medium.

A uniformly charged ball of radius a and charge –Q is at the center of a hollowmetal shell with inner radius b and outer radius
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

<u>r < a:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{a^3}

<u>r = a:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi a^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

<u>a < r < b:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}

<u>r = b:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi b^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

<u>b < r < c:</u>

E = 0

<u>r = c:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{c^2}

<u>r < c:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}

Explanation:

Gauss' Law will be applied to each region to find the E-field.

\int \vec{E}d\vec{a} = \frac{Q_{encl}}{\epsilon_0}

An imaginary sphere is drawn with radius r, which is equal to the point where the E-field is asked. The area of this imaginary sphere is multiplied by E, and this is equal to the charge enclosed by this imaginary surface divided by ε0.

<u>r<a:</u>

Since the ball is uniformly charged and not hollow, then the enclosed charge can be found by the following method: If the total ball has a charge -Q and volume V, then the enclosed part of the ball has a charge Q_enc and volume V_enc. Then;

\frac{Q}{V} = \frac{Q_{encl}}{V_{encl}}\\\frac{Q}{\frac{4}{3}\pi a^3} = \frac{Q_{encl}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3}\\Q_{encl} = \frac{Qr^3}{a^3}

Applying Gauss' Law:

E4\pi r^2 = \frac{-Qr^3}{\epsilon_0 a^3}\\E = -\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Qr}{a^3}\\E = \frac{r}{4\pi a^3}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

The minus sign determines the direction of the field, which is towards the center.

<u>At r = a: </u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi a^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}

<u>At a < r < b:</u>

The imaginary surface is drawn between the inner surface of the metal sphere and the smaller ball. In this case the enclosed charge is equal to the total charge of the ball, -Q.

<u />E4\pi r^2 = \frac{-Q}{\epsilon_0}\\E = -\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}<u />

<u>At r = b:</u>

<u />E = -\frac{1}{4\pi b^2}\frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}<u />

Again, the minus sign indicates the direction of the field towards the center.

<u>At b < r < c:</u>

The hollow metal sphere has a net charge of +2Q. Since the sphere is a conductor, all of its charges are distributed across its surface. No charge is present within the sphere. The smaller ball has a net charge of -Q, so the inner surface of the metal sphere must possess a net charge of +Q. Since the net charge of the metal sphere is +2Q, then the outer surface of the metal should possess +Q.

Now, the imaginary surface is drawn inside the metal sphere. The total enclosed charge in this region is zero, since the total charge of the inner surface (+Q) and the smaller ball (-Q) is zero. Therefore, the Electric region in this region is zero.

E = 0.

<u>At r < c:</u>

The imaginary surface is drawn outside of the metal sphere. In this case, the enclosed charge is +Q (The metal (+2Q) plus the smaller ball (-Q)).

E4\pi r^2 = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_0}\\E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{r^2}

<u>At r = c:</u>

E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0}\frac{Q}{c^2}

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p
kherson [118]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

F=2.64*10^{-16}N
