Which substance is important in making plastics?

Suppose that an electromagnetic wave which is linearly polarized along the x−axis is propagating in vacuum along the z−axis. the wave is incident on a conductor which is placed at z > 0 region of the space. the conductor has conductivity σ, magnetic permeability µ and electric permittivity ε. (a) find the characteristic time for the free charge density which dissipates at the conductor. (b) write the maxwell equations and derive the wave equation for a plane wave propagating in a conductor. (c) find the attenuation distance at which the incident amplitude reduces to e ^−1 of its initial value. (d) find the electric and magnetic fields inside the conductor. 8 (e) find the power loss per area of the incident electromagnetic wave at the surface of conductor.

Does heating a metal wire increase or decrease its electrical resistance? why?

Determine the moment of the force f about an axis extending between a and c. express the result as a cartesian vector. a is at the origin, c is at (4,3,0) and f = (4i + 12j -3k) lb coming out of b (4,3,-2).
