A  lightbulb carries more current immediately after it is turned on and the glow of the metal filament is increasing; option A.

<h3>What is current?</h3>

Current refers to the flow of electric charges typically electrons.

Current flowing through a metallic material decreases with increase in temperature of the material.

This is because the resistance of the metal increases with increase in temperature.

Therefore, for a light bulb, the current flow through it will be maximum when it is just turned on because the temperature, and hence the resistance of the  filament is at its lowest.

In conclusion, current flow decreases with increase in resistance.

A certain corner of a room is selected as the origin of a rectangular coordinate system. If a fly is crawling on an adjacent wal
Helga [31]

Answer:

2.59 m

Explanation:

Coordinates of origin = (0, 0)

Coordinates of Point p where the fly reach = (2.3 m, 1.2 m)

Use the distance formula of coordinates to find the distance between the origin and the point P.

d=\sqrt{\left ( x_{2}-x_{1} \right )^{2}+\left ( y_{2}-y_{1} \right )^{2}}

d=\sqrt{\left ( 2.3- 0 \right )^{2}+\left ( 1.2-0 \right )^{2}}

d = 2.59 m

Thus, the distance between the origin and the point P is 2.59 m.

Answer:

h

Explanation:

Coulomb's law, or Coulomb's inverse-square law, is an experimental law[1] of physics that quantifies the amount of force between two stationary, electrically charged particles. The electric force between charged bodies at rest is conventionally called electrostatic force or Coulomb force.[2] The law was first discovered in 1785 by French physicist Charles-Augustin de Coulomb, hence the name. Coulomb's law was essential to the development of the theory of electromagnetism, maybe even its starting point,[1] as it made it possible to discuss the quantity of electric charge in a meaningful way.[3]

The law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitudes of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them,[4]

{\displaystyle F=k_{\text{e}}{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}{\displaystyle F=k_{\text{e}}{\frac {q_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}}}}

Here, ke is Coulomb's constant (ke ≈ 8.988×109 N⋅m2⋅C−2),[1] q1 and q2 are the signed magnitudes of the charges, and the scalar r is the distance between the charges.

The force is along the straight line joining the two charges. If the charges have the same sign, the electrostatic force between them is repulsive; if they have different signs, the force between them is attractive.

Being an inverse-square law, the law is analogous to Isaac Newton's inverse-square law of universal gravitation, but gravitational forces are always attractive, while electrostatic forces can be attractive or repulsive.[2] Coulomb's law can be used to derive Gauss's law, and vice versa. In the case of a single stationary point charge, the two laws are equivalent, expressing the same physical law in different ways.[5] The law has been tested extensively, and observations have upheld the law on the scale from 10−16 m to 108 m.[5]
