I don't know about an ounce, but according to the June 2005 issue of Popular Science, a 2 1/2 inch cube of gold can be beaten to the size of a football field. It would, however, cost about $68,000 to do. This is possible because of gold's extraordinary malleability.

What is the application of Gauss's Law in determining the electric field produced by an infinite sheet of charge?

Gauss's Law can be used to determine the electric field produced by an infinite sheet of charge by considering a Gaussian surface that encloses the sheet. The electric field is found to be uniform and perpendicular to the sheet, with a magnitude proportional to the surface charge density.


Why is the electric field of an infinite charged sheet not infinite?

This is a matter of limits. If you are measuring the electric field at a point that is a distance off of an infinite sheet of charge the direction of the electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet due to the symmetry of the situation. We can think of the radius as the distance between a point on the sheet and the normal line to the sheet that passes through the point where the electric field is being considered. If we look at the addition to the electric field from the charge on the sheet as this radius approaches infinity the component of the electric field in the direction of the net electric field will approach 0.P.S. Drawing a diagram of the situation with arrows denoting the directions of force from different parts of the sheet can be very helpful in understanding.


What is the relationship between the surface current density and the magnetic field on a current sheet?

The surface current density on a current sheet is directly proportional to the magnetic field it produces. This means that as the surface current density increases, the strength of the magnetic field also increases.


Can an ounce of gold can be stretch into a wire?

Yes, one ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire that is over 50 miles long due to its malleability. This property makes gold a popular choice for creating intricate jewelry pieces and electrical connectors.


How does a bar magnet interact with iron filings to demonstrate magnetic field lines?

When a bar magnet is placed under a sheet of paper with iron filings on top, the iron filings align along the magnetic field lines of the magnet, showing the direction and strength of the magnetic field.
