Intensity: The rate of energy flow per unit area of an electromagnetic wave has an average value of 0.695 W/m2. The wave is incident at right angles upon a rectangular area measuring 1.5 m by 2.0 m. How much total energy falls upon this rectangle each minute? (?0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ? m2, ?0 = 4? × 10-7 T ? m/A, c = 3.0 × 108 m/s)
A. 130 J B. 160 J C. 190 J D. 220 J E. 250 J
Three pith balls supported by insulating threads hang from a support. We know that ball X is positively charged. When ball X is brought near balls Y and Z without touching them, it attracts Y and repels Z. Since pith is an insulating material, we can conclude that
a. Y has a negative charge. b. Z has a negative charge. c. Y has a positive charge. d. Z has a positive charge. e. Z is neutral (has no net charge.)
