**** Welcome to another round of Questions of The Week!
Please read the Introduction and requirements, changes may have been made.
A member of the Awards Committee will post questions, at a random day/time.
The competing member and “ Sir Roy ” may make one post per question thread to answer the questions and the member’s winning entry must have all parts of the questions answered completely in that one post. Editing your one answer post allowed will result in disqualification.
Any disregard to the above and divulging the correct answers or giving hints/references will cause a disqualification.
First correct answers (as judged by the Awards Committee or Poster of the Questions) wins.
The lucky winner will get a case of “Now that you’ve had a Home Inspection Books” shipped to them at their address on file. Make sure your Address on File with Inachi is correct.
Winners of the Questions of The Week shall request their prize by emailing fastreply@nachi.org and submitting their Mailing address for shipping.
Allow 2 weeks for delivery.
A very special THANK YOU to KENTON SHEPARD who helped with the shingle question!
GOOD LUCK! ~ GO!

EXTRA CREDIT ~ if answered correctly with all the other questions, the winner will receive the famous revered INSPECTORSAURUS T-Shirt (if you do not have one)
Please do not just answer this one separately & ruin the fun, only answer if all questions have been answered.

Oh, I can’t say
I have to let you go, baby
And run away

Separation** of charge creates
b) Voltage (Current needs a connection, not separation. A capacitor has separated plates/fields that can hold a voltage.)
With asphalt shingles, properly installed staples have holding power comparable to that of nails
True (trick question, staples may have more holding power)
Pheromones are used by insects for mating, aggregation, feeding, trail following, and recruitment
The force existing between two infinite parallel conductors is inversely proportional to a) The distance between the two conductors (should be the inverse square of the distance, but hey…)
a) Diamond / c) Circle (probably knew this decades ago, the only one I had to look up)
And there it is we have a winner!
John Paul, you were the only one to nail question number 1
Congratulations to John Paul Lucas de Oliveira for winning this weeks QOTW.
Great job!
Follow the directions to obtain your books.
Thanks all for coming by, hope to see you next time.
Separation of charge creates
a) Current
b) Voltage
c) Resistance
d) Friction
e) Cotton Candy
b
Explanation: An electric force called voltage is created by separation of charge where as an electric fluid called current is created by motion of charge

_______ are used by insects for mating, aggregation, feeding, trail following, and recruitment
pheromones
~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
The force existing between two infinite parallel conductors is inversely proportional to ________
a) The distance between the two conductors
b) Current in one of the conductors
c) The product of the current in the two conductors
d) Radius of the conductors
a
Explanation: When current is flowing in two different conductors, the force between the two conductors is directly proportional to the product of the current in the two conductors and inversely proportional to the distance between the two conductors
