Which best describes the electric field created by a positive charge?
2 answers:
Answer:
Its rays point away from the charge.
Explanation:
The electric field due to a point charge is given by :
Where
k is the electrostatic constant
q is the point charge
r is the distance from charge particle
It is clear that the electric field is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the distance from charge particle.
There are two types of charged particle i.e. negative and positive charge. For a positive charge, the direction of electric field points away from it and for a negative charge, the direction of electric field points towards it.
Hence, the correct option is (c).

Answer:
Change in potential energy = 7350 Joules
Explanation:
It is given that,
Side of cube, a = 0.5 m
Density of cube,
The cube is lifted vertically by a crane to a height of 3 m
We know that, density
So, m = d × V (V = volume of cube = a³)
m = 250 kg
We have to find the change in potential energy of the cube. At ground level, the potential energy is equal to 0.
Potential energy at height h is given by :
PE = 250 kg × 9.8 m/s² ×3 m
PE = 7350 Joules
So, change in potential energy of the cube is 7350 Joules.
