How is the direction of current defined by convention

Physics
1 answer:
ddd [48]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

romanna [79]

Answer: 3.2 * 10^-3 C

Explanation: In order to solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force given by:

F=k*q^2/ d^2 where he consider the same charge for each point

so, we have

q^2= F*d^2/k= 1.137* (10 C*9*10m)^2/9*10^9 N*m^2/C^2)=3.2 * 10^-3 C.

What is the weight of a 48 kg girl on Earth? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]
Remember, in order to calculate the weight on earth, we need to multiply the mass of the object with the force of Gravity (9.8 m/s^2 on earth)

so, her weight would be: 
48 x 9.8 = 470.4 >>>>>>> Will be 470 if we round it to the nearest whole number.

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

t=\frac{d}{s}

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s

t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}

t=3.6 \ s

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.
