Is it feasible to describe the distinction between a conductor and an insulator using a semiconductor as an example? Why not use a graph to explain the arguments you're making?
My physics class has turned to online due to the COVID-19 and I am having trouble with some of the word problems my teacher gave me to work on.
She presented me with: I am contemplating a career change. If I had 500g of stolen gold jewelry, how much energy would I have to add to it to melt it (so that it was not longer recognizable)? Pretend that it is pure gold.
Would you be able to show me how to accomplish this problem so I can see the steps?
Thank you for your time.
