Why should you blank a spectrometer prior to taking absorbance readings?

When the magnetic domains in a material can be aligned, but eventually drift out of alignment, the material is

Emagnitude of the electrical force acting between a +2.4 ×  10–8  c charge and a +1.8 ×  10–6  c charge that are separated by 0.008 m is    n, rounded to the tenths place.

Aspecified volume of space contains an electric field for which the magnitude is given by e=e0cos(ωt). suppose that e0 = 20 v/m and ω = 1.0 × 107 s−1. part a what is the maximum displacement current through a 0.80 m2 cross-sectional area of this volume? express your answer with the appropriate units. idisp,max i d i s p , m a x = nothing nothing request answer part b how would this area have to be oriented relative to the electric field to get this maximum displacement current?
