We introduce an electron in a homogeneous electric field. Can we have a net torque on the electron? Please explain.

Answer:

  No

Explanation:

As we know that force on charge given as

F = q E

E=Electric filed

F=Force

q=Charge

Torque = Force x Distance between force

For producing torque two charge is required one single charge can not produce torque.So when we placed an electron in homogeneous field then it did not experience any net torque.

So answer is No.

Think about the way optical fibers are designed. why are the ends of the fibers glowing very brightly while the sides of the fib
Effectus [21]

Answer:

D. because the light is reflected back into the fiber along its sides

Explanation:

The fiber is constructed in a way that the light is bent/reflected/refracted toward the center core of glass. So, from the center core, there is a layer above it that has a different propagation than the core, and above that the same thing. To give you a real world visual example, if you look down in a pool of water, then stick a straight stick into it, you see that the straight stick appears to bend. That is what is happening to the light as it travels through a different medium (air to water). This same effect is incorporated in the fiber optic cable construction.

Which statement is correct? (2 points)
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

When a neutral atom looses an electron to another neutral atom, two charged atoms are created.

Explanation:

On the off chance that one of the two unbiased particle looses an electron, it turns out to be emphatically (charge: +1), in light of the fact that the electron conveys a charge of - 1. Thus, the other atom which acknowledges the electron turns out to be adversely charged (charge: - 1). And in the end, we will have two charged atoms.

A person is pushing a box. The net external force on the 60-kg box is stated to be 90 N. If the force of friction opposing the m
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

b.1.5m/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=60kg

Net external force applied on the box=90 N

Friction force =30N

We have to find the acceleration of the box.

We know that

Net external force=ma

Substitute the values then we get

90=60a

a=\frac{90}{60}=1.5m/s^2

Hence, option b is true.
