The electrostatic potential energy, U, of one point charge q at position d in the presence of an electric field E is defined as the negative of the work W done by the electrostatic force to bring it from the reference position d to that position
Thus, to double the electric potential energy U we need to reduce the distance of separation by half (1/2) because they are inversely proportion
Answer:
Explanation:
In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.
Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.
Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.
Answer:
14.36m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum
m1u1 + m2u2 = v(m1 + m2)
68×17 + 76×12= v(68+76)
1156+912 = 144v
2068 = 144v
v = 2068/144
=14.36 m/s
