The electric field is defined as the electric force per unit of charge. The direction of the field is taken as the direction of the force it would exert on a positive test load. An electric field is always directed from its positive charge to the negative. Under this condition if the terrestrial electric field is pointing towards the ground, the terminal that is pointing is the negative and that of its surface is the positive. This implies that the sign of the charge of the electric field of the soil will be negative.

uysha [10]

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Mathematically, it is given by :

F\propto \dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

F=G \dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}...............(1)

Where m₁ and m₂ are masses

r is the distance between them

It is clear from equation (1) that :

1. The gravitational force between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

2. The gravitational force between two objects is proportional to the product of the masses of the two objects.

Hence, this is the required solution.

A metal rod A and a metal sphere B, on insulating stands, touch each other. They are originally neutral. A positively charged ro
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The sphere is positively charged

Explanation:

This is because when the positively charged rod is brought near the metal rod A, the electrons in metal rod A and sphere B are attracted towards it into metal rod A while the positive charges in the are repelled into sphere B. So, when the charged rod is withdrawn, and metal rod A and sphere B are separated, metal rod A is now negatively charged, but sphere B is positively charged.

So, sphere B is positively charged.
