What happens when an insulator is placed in an electric field? When an insulator, also called the dielectric, is placed in an electric field, it gets polarised. The polarised dielectric reduces the effective electric field. Can an insulator have an electric field? We define a conductor as a material in which charges are free to […]
What is the highest bouncing ball?
What is the highest bouncing ball? Skyball What is the most bouncy thing in the world? The SkyBall is a softball-sized toy that bounces higher than nearly any other ball ever made. Filled with a combination of compressed air and helium, the SkyBall can bounce as high as 75 feet! What is the bounciest trampoline? […]
What is secondary pollutants give examples?
What is secondary pollutants give examples? Examples of a secondary pollutant include ozone, which is formed when hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) combine in the presence of sunlight; NO2, which is formed as NO combines with oxygen in the air; and acid rain, which is formed when sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides react with […]
What is a dense person like?

An example of dense is someone who doesn’t understand what “turn left” means. What do you call a dense person? @Awen_ArBover dense usually […]
How many billion years did it take for humans to appear on Earth?
How many billion years did it take for humans to appear on Earth? Recognizable humans emerged at most 2 million years ago, a vanishingly small period on the geological scale. The earliest undisputed evidence of life on Earth dates at least from 3.5 billion years ago, during the Eoarchean Era, after a geological crust started […]

What is energy stored in capacitor?
What is energy stored in capacitor? Energy stored in a capacitor is electrical potential energy, and it is thus related to the charge Q and voltage V on the capacitor. We must be careful when applying the equation for electrical potential energy ΔPE = qΔV to a capacitor. Remember that ΔPE is the potential energy […]
Does oxygen follow octet rule?
Does oxygen follow octet rule? Octet rule: The concept that compounds containing carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine are more stable if these atoms have eight valence electrons. When one of these atoms has less than eight valence electrons it has an open octet. Every carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and fluorine atom in this molecule has a […]
What happens when the retina detects light?
What happens when the retina detects light? When a photon reaches your eye it passes through the transparent cornea and then through the lens which refracts and focuses the light onto your retina, where the light is selectively detected and absorbed by special photoreceptor cells: the rods and cones. Why do doctors shine a light […]
What is the definition of system approach?
What is the definition of system approach? Systems approach is based on the generalization that everything is inter-related and interdependent. A system is composed of related and dependent element which when in interaction, forms a unitary whole. A system is simply an assemblage or combination of things or parts forming a complex whole. What word […]
