How are electric circuits and systems for carrying water in buildings similar?
Voltage can be compared to the total pressure of the water, current is the speed of the water flowing thru te tubes and resistance is the thickness and length of the tubes. The longer and thinner the tubes the higher the resistance and the slower is the flow, but the final pressure at the end of the tube will be the same as the input pressure provided no water is drained from the system.
First twenty elements and their poperties?
ElementsUseHydrogenHydrogen is the lightest element. It is by far the most abundant element in the universe and makes up about 90% of the universe by weight. Hydrogen as water (H2O) is absolutely essential to life and it is present in all organic compounds. Hydrogen is the lightest gas. Hydrogen gas was used in lighter-than-air balloons for transport but is far too dangerous because of the fire risk (Hindenburg). It burns in air to form only water as waste product and if hydrogen could be made on sufficient scale from other than fossil fuels then there might be a possibility of a hydrogen economyheliumTo float blimps; By divers; In supermarket laser beamslithiumTo form alloy with aluminum in aircraft manufacture; Anode in small batteries; Treatment for bipolar patientsberylliumWindow for X-ray tubes; To form an alloy with copperboronIn nuclear reactors; In transistors in high-tech industrycarbonIn industry for abrasive purposes; In lead pencils; For fuel in industry and the homenitrogen,To freeze foods and biological specimens; In industry as a blanketing gas; In making ammoniaoxygen,Life; Various industrial and aerospace usesfluorine,To produce uranium hexafluoride; In nuclear research; In water suppliesneonStore signssodiumModerator in nuclear reactors; In light-measuring devices; Numerous uses for its compoundsmagnesiumAlloy with aluminum in manufacturing; In flash bulbs; In pharmaceuticalsaluminumIn high-voltage transmission lines: In various reflectors; In airplane wings; In alloyssiliconMicroelectronics industry; In making glass, ceramics, solar cells, and microphonesphosphorusMaking phosphoric acid for fertilizers; In detergents; In television tubessulphurTo form sulphur dioxide and sulphuric acid; For bleaching textiles and wood pulp; For preserving food; In making fertilizersChlorineFor bleaching; In manufacture of polymersargonTo fill incandescent light bulbs and fluorescent bulbs; In welding; In Geiger counterspotassiumFor plant fertilizers; In storage batteries; As a preservativecalciumIn mortar, concrete, and gypsum; In production of iron; Marble structures
