Chapter 23, Problem 4A
What is condensation, and why is it also a warming process?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
To Explain: Condensation and that it is a warming process.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Condensation is a process to convert the vapors into liquid.
When heat is absorbed by the surface, the vapors get converted into liquid. As some heat from the surface is absorbed, this process is a warming process.
Conclusion:
The process of changing vapours phase into liquid phase is known as condensation. It is a warming process as the heat is taken by the surface.

Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why.
