The change in potential energy of the proton is  5.6 x 10^{-17} Joule

<h3>What is a Uniform Electric Field ?</h3>

A uniform electric field is where the electric field strength is the same at all points in the field. In the uniform field, the force experienced by a charge is the same no matter where it is placed in the field.

Given that a proton moves a distance 10 cm in a uniform electric field of 3.5 kN C, in the direction of the field.

  • The distance d = 10 cm = 0.1 m
  • Electric field E = 3.5 KN/C
  • Proton charge q = 1.6 x 10^{-19} C

The Work done = Fd

but F = Eq

Recall that Electric field E = F/q = V/d

Where V = potential difference.

Let us first calculate the V

E = V/d

V = Ed

Substitute all the parameters into the formula above

V = 3.5 × 10³ × 0.1

V = 350 v

from F/q = V/d

make F the subject of formula and substitute it in work formula

F = Vq/d

W.D = Vq/d x d

W.D = Vq

Substitute all the parameters into the formula above

W.D = 350 x 1.6 x 10^{-19}

W.D = 5.6 x 10^{-17} J

Work done = Energy = Potential Energy

Therefore, the change in potential energy of the proton is 5.6 x 10^{-17}<em> Joule</em>

Difference between male and female gamete​
Inga [223]

Answer:

The male gamete is smaller in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete is conical from the front while the female gamete is spherical.

The cytoplasm in the male gamete is less in comparison to that of the female gamete.

The male gamete can move with the help of the tail while the female gametes are immobile and do not have any tail or flagella present.

The number of mitochondria present in the sperm is less than the number of mitochondria present in the ovum.

The male gamete has acrosome present in the head region that contains enzymes for dissolving the membranes present around the ovum. The ovum does not contain such digestive enzymes.
