What is used for the Thermite Reaction?
Show Hint
The thermite reaction is a highly exothermic process used for welding and in incendiary devices. It typically involves a finely powdered metal (usually aluminum) and a metal oxide (commonly iron(III) oxide). The key is that the reducing metal must be more reactive than the metal in the oxide.

- An oil drop of radius \(1 \, \mu{m}\) is held stationary under a constant electric field of \(3.65 \times 10^4 \, {N/C}\) due to some excess electrons present on it. If the density of the oil drop is \(1.26 \, {g/cm}^3\), then the number of excess electrons on the oil drop approximately is:
