ANSWER and EXPLANATION

We want to identify if there will be an electric field and a magnetic field around the two sticks electrified by charges of opposite signs.

An electric field is a physical field that surrounds electrically charged particles and exerts a force on other charged particles in the surrounding.

This implies that the presence of electric charges on both sticks generates electric fields on them. Since the two charges are opposite, the electric force acting on them will be attractive.

Hence, there is an electric field.

A stationary charged object produces an electric field, as explained above, but will only produce a magnetic field if there is a motion of the object.

Hence, except the two sticks are caused to move, there will be no magnetic field around them.

Answer:

The ball will be attracted to the negatively charged plate. It'll touch and pick up some electrons from the plate so that the ball becomes negatively charged. Immediately the ball is repelled by the negative plate and is attracted to the positive plate. The ball gives up electrons to the positive plate so that it is positively charged and suddenly attracts to the negative plate again, flies over to it and picks up enough electrons to be repulsed by negative plate and again to the positive plate and that continues.

Waves in a fish bowl jostled by the Thingamajigger move to the sides at an average velocity of 0.50 m/s. If they occur once ever
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.125 m

Explanation:

In this problem, we have:

v = 0.50 m/s is the average velocity of the wave

T = 0.25 s is the period of the wave

We can find the frequency of the wave, which is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.25 s}=4 Hz

The problem is asking us to find the distance between two crests of the wave: this is equivalent to the wavelength. The wavelength is related to the average velocity and the frequency by the formula:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Substituting the numerical values, we find

\lambda=\frac{0.5 m/s}{4 Hz}=0.125 m
