Why do bats die near wind turbines? When a wind turbine’s blades move, they cause a drop in nearby air pressure. If a bat flies too close to a turbine, this drop in air pressure can damage its lungs. They found that each wind turbine kills around 5 birds and 12 bats every year! How […]

How does physics help us in our daily lives? Physics generates fundamental knowledge needed for the future technological advances that will continue to drive the economic engines of the world. Physics contributes to the technological infrastructure and provides trained personnel needed to take advantage of scientific advances and discoveries. What is physics in everyday life […]

What is the full form of laser? Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation What are the uses of laser technology? Lasers are widely used for laser material processing in manufacturing, e.g. for cutting, drilling, welding, cladding, soldering (brazing), hardening, surface treatment, marking, engraving, micromachining, pulsed laser deposition, lithography, etc. What is Laser What are […]

What happens to torque if field is non-uniform? An electric dipole always experiences a torque when placed in uniform as well as non-uniform electric field. But in non-uniform electric field, dipole will also experience net force of attraction. So the electric dipole in non-uniform electric field experiences both torque and force. What is meant by […]

Why do we use 8.314 as the value for R? R = 8.314 is actually the more important value because it is expressed in SI units (note that 1 J = 1 Pa * m^3= 1 N/m^2 * m^3 = 1 N * m). What does R mean in chemistry? R group: An abbreviation for […]

Do neurons allow us to think? In short, our nervous systems detect what is going on around us and inside of us; they decide how we should act, alter the state of internal organs (heart rate changes, for instance), and allows us to think about and remember what is going on. To do this, it […]

What is the SI unit of only current? ampere Can I use 110v in USA? It will be just fine, as long as your electricity is running to US spec. It really can be anywhere from 110V to 120V +/- 5%. Can I plug 120V into 110v? In the US, 110V isn’t a standard voltage. […]

What is the charge on the 2uf capacitor? Answer. Answer :- No charge flows in 2uf capacitor at steady state. In steady state there is no charge which flows in capacitor. What is charge of 3 uF capacitor in steady state? In the circuit shown, the charge on the 3uF capacitor at steady state will […]

What is the most efficient cycle for a steam power plant? The Rankine cycle is the ideal cycle for vapor power plants; it includes the following four reversible processes: 1-2: Isentropic compression Water enters the pump as state 1 as saturated liquid and is compressed isentropically to the operating pressure of the boiler. What are […]

What is the moral of the story of an hour? The moral of the story undermines the famous saying “the truth shall set you free”; Mrs. Mallard finds freedom in the false belief that her husband is dead, and dies when she faces the truth. What causes Mrs Mallard’s heart to fail at the end […]
