Answer:
Charge on each is 2 x 10⁻¹⁰.
Explanation:
We know that Force between two point charges is given b the Coulomb's law as:
F = kq₁q₂/r^2
k = 9 x 10^9
r = 3.00 cm
= 0.03 m
q₁ = q₂
F = 4.00 x 10^-7
Rearranging the formula, we get:
F = k q²/r²
q² = Fr²/k
q² = 4 x 10⁻⁷ x 0.03²/(9x10⁹)
q² = 4 x 10⁻²⁰
q = 2 x 10⁻¹⁰
As there is force of repulsion between the charges, the charges must be both positive or both negative.
Answer:
5.56 A
Explanation:
From the question,
Q = it.............. Equation 1
Where Q = charges, i = current, t = time.
Make i the subject of the equation
i = Q/t.............. Equation 2
Given: Q = 200 coulombs, t = 0.6 minutes = (0.6×60) seconds
Substitite these values into equation 2
i = 200/(0.6×60)
i = 5.56 A
Hence the magnitude of the current flowing through the circuit is 5.56 A
Miniature circuit breakers is called the developed form of fuse because MCBs are more sensitive to current than fuses. They immediately detect any abnormality and switch off the electrical circuit automatically. This prevents any permanent damage to electrical appliances and human beings
Fixed volume and shape
-Particles are locked into place
Not easily compressible
-Little free space between particles
Does not flow easy
-Particles cannot move past each other
Answer:
1) Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is 1.
2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth
3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.
4). Heat moves to the core
5) The process repeats as cycle.
Explanation:
Mantle convection is the gradual slow creeping of movement of the Earth's mantle which is as a result of convection current which transfer heat from the interior to the surface of the Earth .
The process of mantle convection start with
1. Lithospheric plates move in the asthenosphere due to rising and sinking of materials is and thus form the two component of the mantle.
2) The decomposition of radioactive elements causes heat in the interior part of the Earth. This is as a result of accretion which is associated to sea flooding
3) Heat slowly rises to the mantle and creates convection current.
4). Heat moves to the core, cools down by conduction and convection of heat.
5) The process repeats as cycle.
