What happens to current in reverse bias? Reverse bias usually refers to how a diode is used in a circuit. If a diode is reverse biased, the voltage at the cathode is higher than that at the anode. Therefore, no current will flow until the electric field is so high that the diode breaks down. […]
What is the purpose of uncertainty?
What is the purpose of uncertainty? Uncertainty as used here means the range of possible values within which the true value of the measurement lies. This definition changes the usage of some other commonly used terms. For example, the term accuracy is often used to mean the difference between a measured result and the actual […]
What happens during deletion?
What happens during deletion? In genetics, a deletion (also called gene deletion, deficiency, or deletion mutation) (sign: Δ) is a mutation (a genetic aberration) in which a part of a chromosome or a sequence of DNA is left out during DNA replication. Any number of nucleotides can be deleted, from a single base to an […]

What are the basic engine components? An engine is composed of several major components; the block, the crank, the rods, the pistons, the head (or heads), the valves, the cams, the intake and exhaust systems and the ignition system. What components are included in a basic engine block? Engine block components Cylinder blocks. Cylinder liners. […]
Why did Germany lose ww1?
Why did Germany lose ww1? Germany failed to succeed in World War One because of three main reasons, the failure of the Schlieffen plan, nationalism, and the allies’ effective use of attrition warfare. The failure of the Schlieffen plan caused Germanys plan to fight a two front war almost impossible. Who lost most soldiers in […]

What evidence indicates that isostatic rebound has occurred?
What evidence indicates that isostatic rebound has occurred? If the crust has more mass with the thick sediment layers getting deposited or with the formation of vast glaciers, then it sinks down into the mantle until they obtain equilibrium. If the load is decreased by erosion or melting of ice, then the crust gradually rises […]
Which side of the tape measure is CM?
Which side of the tape measure is CM? Above you’ll see a picture of a metric/imperial pocket tape measure. The measurements towards the bottom of the image are metric. In other words they’re in centimetres and milimetres. There are 10mm in each centimetre (shown by the ten spaces between each cm) and 100cm in each […]
Why was the Pure Food and Drug Act passed quizlet?
Why was the Pure Food and Drug Act passed quizlet? 1906 – Forbade the manufacture or sale of mislabeled or adulterated food or drugs, it gave the government broad powers to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs in order to abolish the “patent” drug trade. Still in existence as the FDA. Who enforces the […]
What is the main point of the de Broglie equation?
What is the main point of the de Broglie equation? λ = h/mv, where λ is wavelength, h is Planck’s constant, m is the mass of a particle, moving at a velocity v. de Broglie suggested that particles can exhibit properties of waves. What is the de Broglie wavelength of a heavier particle? The heavier […]
