How do you test an overloaded circuit? How to Check for an Electrical Circuit Overload Turn off all appliances and wall switches and unplug all lamps and appliances plugged into the circuit. Locate the circuit panel, often found in the basement or garage of most homes. Power on the wall switches one at a time […]

What is binding energy used for? Binding energy, amount of energy required to separate a particle from a system of particles or to disperse all the particles of the system. Binding energy is especially applicable to subatomic particles in atomic nuclei, to electrons bound to nuclei in atoms, and to atoms and ions bound together […]

What solution turns red litmus blue its pH is likely to be? Base turns red litmus blue and acid turns blue litmus red. Therefore the pH of solution is in base range which is from 7 to 14. Only option D has pH in this range thus the solution having pH 10 turns red litmus […]

How do you strengthen a magnet? Place your weak magnet within the magnetic field of a much stronger magnet. Setting it right next to the magnet will produce the best result. The stronger magnet will actually help realign electrons that have spun out of axis since it’s creation. Stroke the weak magnet with your larger, […]

What makes an eco resort Eco? Essentially, an eco-friendly or environmentally friendly hotel is one that is built or operated in such a way as to minimise both the carbon footprint of the business operation as well as the carbon footprint of those who work and stay there.

What type of ozone is bad? Stratospheric ozone is “good” because it protects living things from ultraviolet radiation from the sun. Ground-level ozone, the topic of this website, is “bad” because it can trigger a variety of health problems, particularly for children, the elderly, and people of all ages who have lung diseases such as […]

Can you get a shock from an earth wire? You would get an electric shock if the live wire inside an appliance, such as a cooker, came loose and touched the metal casing. However, the earth terminal is connected to the metal casing so that the current goes through the earth wire instead of causing […]

Can you diffract a human? Since Plank’s constant is on the order of 10-34, the de Broglie wavelength is virtually undetectable for large amounts of matter. There is much evidence of matter possessing such a de Broglie wavelength. Well, theoretically, since all matter possess wave-like properties, so do humans, and cats, and whatever you please. […]

What are the characteristics of mid-ocean ridges? Principal characteristics. Oceanic ridges are found in every ocean basin and appear to girdle Earth. The ridges rise from depths near 5 km (3 miles) to an essentially uniform depth of about 2.6 km (1.6 miles) and are roughly symmetrical in cross section. They can be thousands of […]
