Answer:

initially- with positive potential differences - the current is directly proportional to the p.d. However, as the current through the filament increases, the heating effect caused in the lamp also increases and so the temperature of the filament rises. This increase in the filament's temperature also increases the resistance of the filament. As a result the rate of increase of the current decreases and a greater change in the potential difference is required to cause a change in the current. This can be seen on the curve as the gradient becomes more shallow (greater resistance). This same pattern is repeated when a negative potential difference is applied across the filament

particle of mass 59 g and charge 51 µC is released from rest when it is 32 cm from a second particle of charge −14 µC. Determine

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The initial acceleration of the 59g particle is $1062.7\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Explanation:

Newton's second laws relates acceleration (a), net force(F) and mass (m) in the next way:

$F=ma$ (1)

We already know the mass of the particle so we should find the electric force on it to use on (1), the magnitude of the electric force between two charged objects by Columb's law is:

$F=k\frac{\mid q_{1}q_{2}\mid}{r^{2}}$
