A positively charged light metal ball is suspended between two oppositely charged metal plates on

Physics

Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago

Answer:

The positively charged ball moves between both charged plates till the plates and the ball all become neutral.

Check Explanation for more.

Explanation:

Let the ball be in square brackets, and the plates in normal brackets.

(+) [+] (-)

From the law that like charges repel and unlike charges attract.

The positive ball would go first to the negatively charged plate. After which, the ball would hold more negative charges overall than before.

Because the ball is now more negatively charged, it then travels towards the positive plate. In the same manner, the ball would transfer negative electrons to the positive plate.

So, when leaving the positive plate, the ball would be more positive and be drawn towards the negative plate once more. In doing so, it would make the negative plate more positive.

Then, the ball again holds more negative electrons and is drawn towards the positive plate once more.

This back and forth process continues until the once-positive and once-negative plates become neutral, that is, they are discharged.

The ball hanging on the insulated thread becomes neutral too at this point.

Hope this Helps!!!

If you are using a wrench to loosen a very stubborn nut, you can make the job easier by using a "cheater pipe." This is a piece
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

The cheater pipe extends the wrench in  radial direction, providing a larger momentum for the force you exert.

For a given force the torque exerted with the cheater pipe is larger.

Mathematically we can write that

τ = r×F and τ'= r'×F

now since r'> r

⇒ F'>F

The Surface Pressure at Leh, Ladakh is 800 mb. Now, assuming that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m increase in he
Basile [38]

We have that the sea level pressure for Leh area is 1150mb mathematically given as

Ps= 1150 mb

<h3> Sea level pressure</h3>

Question Parameters:

Ladakh is 800 mb.

<u>assuming </u>that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m

increase in height with respect to sea level corresponds to 10 mb pressure,

Generally, for 3500m the pressure change will be 350 mb.

Therefore,  here for the sea level <em>pressure</em> we need to add,

Ps=800+350

Ps= 1150 mb

How can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
I am absolutely sure that the way how can a moving coil galvanometer can be made into a dc ammeter is of course by connecting a. low resistance across the meter. You should remember that you must connect <span>a shunt resistor straight across the galvanometer. Do hope this answer will help you! Regards.</span>
