Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!
Answer:
1) energy = 15.6 kWh, 2) total_cost = $ 2.03
Explanation:
1) The energy dissipated is the product of the power and the time of use In a month it was used t = 6.5 h and the power of the toaster is
P = 2400 W = 2,400 kW
energy = P t
energy = 2,400 6.5
energy = 15.6 kWh
using rounding to a decimal
energy = 15.6 kWh
2) The cost of energy is unit_cost = $ 0.13 / kWh
so the total cost
total_cost = energy unit_cost
total_cost = 15.6 0.13
total_cost = $ 2.028
rounding to two decimal places
total_cost = $ 2.03
Wave speed = (frequency) x (wavelength)
= (266 /sec) x (1.3 meters)
= 345.8 meters/sec
this atom has nine electrons
Explanation:
since electrons are found outside the nucleus of an atom and they are negatively charged
