What effects does salt water have on the frequency Ku?
Asked by Wiki User
Salt water can affect the frequency at which electromagnetic waves, including Ku-band signals used in communication, can propagate. The high conductivity of salt water absorbs and attenuates higher frequencies more than lower frequencies, which can result in increased signal loss and reduced range for Ku-band transmissions over salt water compared to freshwater.
Can Magnets be used to cause centrifugal force?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes a central magnet rotating with an array of magnetic material surrounding it spun at the relative speed so as not to defeat the magnetic field would create a centrifugal arrangement if that is the query.
Is a blow dryer a part of static electricity?
Asked by Wiki User
No, a blow dryer does not produce static electricity. Static electricity is generated when two objects rub against each other, creating a charge imbalance. A blow dryer simply dries hair using heated air.
What is ten to the eighth power hertz frequencies associated with?
Asked by Quantum7
A frequency of 10^8 Hertz is associated with radio waves in the FM broadcasting range, typically used for commercial radio stations. This frequency range allows for the transmission of audio signals over long distances using electromagnetic waves.
What would be the acceleration of a positive test charge placed at this midpoint?
Asked by Wiki User
The acceleration of a positive test charge placed at the midpoint of a dipole is zero because the electric fields from the opposite charges in the dipole cancel out at that point. This is the point where the electric field is uniform and the force on the test charge is zero.
Is a metal rod easy to charge with static electricity?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, metal is a good conductor of electricity and therefore does not tend to hold a charge well. It is harder to build up a significant static charge on a metal rod compared to other materials like plastics or rubber.
Is static eletricity a very small lightning bolt?
Asked by Wiki User
No, static electricity is a buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object. It occurs when certain materials rub against each other, causing electrons to be transferred and creating an imbalance of positive and negative charges. A lightning bolt is a sudden discharge of atmospheric electricity in the form of a flow of electrons between two charged regions.
Does the Particle Model explain Refraction?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, the Particle Model can explain refraction by considering light as a stream of particles (photons) that change speed and direction when passing through different mediums, causing the bending of light rays.
What is the name of the path followed by water drop?
Asked by Wiki User
The path followed by a water drop is called its trajectory. This trajectory is influenced by external factors such as gravity, air resistance, and surface tension.
What is direction of the electric fields field near the earth's surface?
Asked by Wiki User
The electric field near the Earth's surface typically points vertically downward, towards the Earth. This is because the Earth's surface is negatively charged and repels negative charges, causing the electric field to point towards the surface.
How much voltage is produced in thunder?
Asked by Wiki User
Lightning can produce voltage on the order of hundreds of millions to billions of volts. Thunder itself is the sound caused by the rapid expansion and heating of air surrounding a lightning bolt, not directly related to voltage production.
Does static electricity light up in the dark?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, it actually does so very often. It is called lightening. Lightning is a static discharge.
Additionally, if you have ever run an electric generator without correctly grounding it, you may see a static discharge between it and a grounded object. If this occurs at night, it will be very bright.
Do fridge magnets waste electricity?
Asked by Wiki User
Fridge magnets do not consume electricity on their own, so they do not waste electricity. They are simply decorative items that stick to the front surface of the refrigerator using a magnetic force.
Asked by Wiki User
The force of repulsion between the alpha particle and the gold nucleus can be calculated using Coulomb's law, given by F = k * (q1 * q2) / r^2, where k is the Coulomb constant, q1 and q2 are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them. Given the charges of an alpha particle and a gold nucleus, and the distance of 1pm, the force of repulsion can be calculated to be extremely large due to the proximity of the particles and the high charges involved.
To electricity and magnetism What do we mean when we say that the object is been grounded?
Asked by Wiki User
When an object is grounded, it means that it is connected to the Earth through a conductor, such as copper wire, to allow charges to move freely between the object and the Earth. This helps to prevent the buildup of excess charge on the object and protects against electrical shock or damage from static electricity.
What is the difference between mr and gmr in magnetism?
Asked by Sravaneee
MR (magnetoresistance) refers to the change in electrical resistance of a material in response to an applied magnetic field. GMR (giant magnetoresistance) is a specific type of magnetoresistance that occurs in layered structures, where the resistance changes significantly due to the alignment of the magnetic moments within the layers. In other words, GMR is a more pronounced effect compared to general magnetoresistance.
Is electrostatic charge and static electricity the same thing?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, electrostatic charge and static electricity are essentially the same thing. Both terms refer to the accumulation of electric charge on an object through friction or induction, resulting in an imbalance of positive and negative charges on its surface. This imbalance can lead to static electric interactions like sparks or shocks.
What is a magnetic field will be produced at some point in space if the electric field at the point?
Asked by Wiki User
If there is a fluctuating electric field at a point in space, it will induce a magnetic field at that point according to Maxwell's equations. The changing electric field will generate a magnetic field that curls around the direction of the electric field changes. This relationship between electric and magnetic fields is described by Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.
How did Oersted discover the relationship between an electricity and magnetism?
Asked by Wiki User
Hans Christian Oersted discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism in 1820 when he observed that an electric current flowing through a wire caused a nearby compass needle to deflect. This observation demonstrated that an electric current produces a magnetic field.
Does rubber boots stop you from getting hit by lightning?
Asked by Wiki User
No, rubber boots do not prevent you from being struck by lightning. Lightning can travel through the ground and can still reach you even if you are wearing rubber boots. It is important to seek appropriate shelter during a lightning storm to stay safe.
Why a metal rod shows no charge when rubbed on other object?
Asked by Wiki User
When a metal rod is rubbed on another object, such as a cloth, any excess electrons or charges are quickly neutralized by the metal's ability to conduct electricity and redistribute the charges evenly throughout the rod. This process, called grounding, prevents the metal rod from holding a net charge.
Why 2 magnetic fields cannot cross each other?
Asked by Wiki User
the tangent at any point on an electric field line gives the direction of the field at that point . so if field lines intersect then electric field at will have more than1 direction which is impossible
Is nichrome wire a good conductor of heat and electricity?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, nichrome wire is a good conductor of electricity due to its high electrical resistance. However, it is not a good conductor of heat as it has a relatively high specific heat capacity compared to other metals.
Asked by Wiki User
Wearing clothing made from natural materials, using a humidifier in your home, and regularly moisturizing your skin can help reduce static electricity buildup in your body in a dry climate. Avoiding synthetic materials and grounding yourself by touching a grounded object before touching metal surfaces can also help dissipate static charges.
How does Tennyson create sympathy for the Lady of Shallot?
