How do you tell if an egg is boiled by spinning? Tip: Just place the egg on a hard surface, like the counter, and spin it like a top. As it’s spinning, grab it with your fingers ever-so-briefly and immediately let go. If it keeps spinning, it’s raw. If it stops dead, it’s boiled. How […]

What are the similarities and differences between electric and magnetic forces acting on a charged particle? Electric forces are created by and act on, both moving and stationary charges; while magnetic forces are created by and act on only moving charges. Electric monopoles exist. Magnetic monopoles don’t* exist. This is the reason that Maxwell’s laws […]

What is the maximum torque that the loop can experience? Torque on the loop can be found using τ=NIABsinθ τ = N I A B sin ⁡ . Maximum torque occurs when θ = 90º and sin θ = 1. What is the magnetic dipole moment of current carrying coil? The magnetic dipole moment of […]

Is rain water an acid or alkali? Not all rain can be considered pure water. Pure water is neither alkaline nor acidic. As rain falls from the atmosphere the impurities it collects changes the pH of the rain water, making it slightly acidic. How can we keep rain water clean? 5 Ways to Properly Store […]

What is cell surface charge? The surface charge can have either a negative or positive electrical state, which is determined by the balance between negatively charged and positively charged nanoparticles at the surface. The cell membrane surface of living cells has a different electric potential to the interior of cell, namely membrane potential. Are cells […]

Which statement best describes the effect that stress has on the immune system? Stress can lead to increased vulnerability to infections and immune deficiency disorders:best describes the effects that stress has on the immune system. Which of the following symptoms is considered a physical effect of stress? Chest pain is considered to be the physical […]

What is the most common type of wasted energy in the home? Leaving the Lights On One of the most obvious energy-wasting habits is leaving the lights on, and it’s also one of the easiest habits to fix. By simply turning off the lights when you leave a room or your home, you will save […]

Is Earth a closed system? The Earth is a closed system for matter That is a list of all basic elemental materials on our planet. Because of gravity, matter (comprising all solids, liquids and gases) does not leave the system. It is a closed box. So the chemical matter we have on Earth will always […]
