How many outlets can a 15 amp breaker hold? 10 outlets Why is daisy chaining dangerous? Daisy chaining is a term that refers to the practice of plugging a power strip into another power strip. This is dangerous because an excessive amount of power is being drawn from one single wall outlet, which means the […]
What are the three primary Colours as proposed by the trichromatic theory?
What are the three primary Colours as proposed by the trichromatic theory? The Young–Helmholtz theory of color vision is the best known trichromatic theory. Subsequent studies determined that there are three different retinal cone photopigments with peak sensitivities roughly corresponding to the three primary colors of trichromatic theory: blue, green, and red. How well does […]
What happens if base-emitter junction is reverse biased?
What happens if base-emitter junction is reverse biased? If you reverse bias the diode, the diode cuts off. Now, the base-emitter junction in a transistor is going to essentially turn the transistor on or off. Now, the base-collector junction will not have that same power, but the base-emitter junction will determine whether the transistor is […]
Which organ is responsible for oxidizing 90% of consumed alcohol?
Which organ is responsible for oxidizing 90% of consumed alcohol? Alcoholic liver disease—As the chief organ responsible for the breakdown of alcohol, the liver is particularly vulnerable to alcohol metabolism’s effects. More than 90 percent of people who drink heavily develop fatty liver, a type of liver disease. Which alcohol is easiest on your liver? […]
Why do plasma balls make you smell?
Why do plasma balls make you smell? If a hand is placed close to the globe it produces a faint smell of ozone, as the gas is produced by high voltage interaction with atmospheric oxygen. Some globes have a control knob that varies the amount of power going to the center electrode. What happens if […]
What should I expect at a developmental assessment?
What should I expect at a developmental assessment? Your assessment will be tailored to your child’s age and suspected problem or delay. In general, you can expect that you’ll spend time answering a host of detailed questions about your child’s growth, physical movements, behavior, play, and interactions with family members and the rest of the […]
Is sand a good thermal insulator?
Is sand a good thermal insulator? Saturated sand has a thermal conductivity in the range of 2-4 W/m-K which causes the sand layer thickness to go astronomical. Thus it can be shown that sand is a good replacement for fiberglass pipe insulation in underground, direct buried applications. It’s easier to install and costs less. Does […]
Does benzene absorb UV light?
Does benzene absorb UV light? Note that both benzene and naphthacene absorb light in the near ultraviolet but that the latter does so much more intensely. A solution of naphthacene will absorb almost 100 times as much light at 250 nm. as a solution of benzene of the same molar concentration. Can light break bonds? […]
What would happen if there was no moon?
What would happen if there was no moon? The moon affects the angle of the Earth’s tilt. The moon influences life as we know it on Earth. It influences our oceans, weather, and the hours in our days. Without the moon, tides would fall, nights would be darker, seasons would change, and the length of […]
