How do you make a simple electromagnet? Electromagnets can be created by wrapping a wire around an iron nail and running current through the wire. The electric field in the wire coil creates a magnetic field around the nail. In some cases, the nail will remain magnetised even when removed from within the wire coil. […]
What is the charge on each plate of the capacitor?
What is the charge on each plate of the capacitor? Capacitors do not store charge. Capacitors actually store an imbalance of charge. If one plate of a capacitor has 1 coulomb of charge stored on it, the other plate will have −1 coulomb, making the total charge (added up across both plates) zero. Can there […]
What are some interesting facts about the Alpine biome?
What are some interesting facts about the Alpine biome? It is cold, snowy and windy. It is usually below freezing at night. Alpine biomes are located on mountains. They are below the snow line…. Quick Facts Location on mountains; above 10,000 feet Area of coverage 16% of earth’s surface 31,510,000 square miles (81,610,000 square kilometers) […]
What causes altocumulus?
What causes altocumulus? Altocumulus clouds usually form by convection in an unstable layer aloft, which may result from the gradual lifting of air in advance of a cold front. The presence of altocumulus clouds on a warm and humid summer morning is commonly followed by thunderstorms later in the day. What is the characteristic of […]
How do I know if my refrigerator condenser is bad?
What do you mean by hydraulic?
What do you mean by hydraulic? Hydraulics (from Greek: Υδραυλική) is a technology and applied science using engineering, chemistry, and other sciences involving the mechanical properties and use of liquids. In its fluid power applications, hydraulics is used for the generation, control, and transmission of power by the use of pressurized liquids. Where are hydraulic […]
What are 3 products of the light-dependent reactions?
What are 3 products of the light-dependent reactions? The products of the light-dependent reactions, ATP and NADPH, have lifespans in the range of millionths of seconds, whereas the products of the light-independent reactions (carbohydrates and other forms of reduced carbon) can survive for hundreds of millions of years. What is importance of light? It seems […]
What does it mean when an object does not slip?
What does it mean when an object does not slip? It means the object moves uniformly in one direction along the surface, with no angular velocity about the object’s own center of mass. What does it mean when a ball rolls without slipping? Rolling without slipping is a combination of translation and rotation where the […]
What percentage of drug research is funded by the government?
What percentage of drug research is funded by the government? For the first time in the post–World War II era, the federal government no longer funds a majority of the basic research carried out in the United States. Data from ongoing surveys by the National Science Foundation (NSF) show that federal agencies provided only 44% […]
Is parsec is a unit of Time?
Is parsec is a unit of Time? Unfortunately, like the similarly misused ‘light-year’, the parsec is a unit of length, not of time. A parsec is equal to about 3.26 light-years or roughly 31 trillion kilometres (19 trillion miles). The unit has its origins in one of the first methods of determining the distance to […]
