Consider an unknown charge that is released from rest at a particular location in an electric field so that it has some initial

electric potential energy. In what direction will the charge move in regards to its potential energy?
A) a positive charge will move to regions of lower potential energy, but a negative charge will move to regions of higher potential energy
B) a charge will move to regions of lower potential energy, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
C) a negative charge will move to regions of lower potential energy, but a positive charge will move to regions of higher potential energy
D) a charge will move to regions of higher potential energy, regardless of whether it is positive or negative.
E) both positive and negative charges can move toward either higher or lower potential energy

Answer:

b)

Explanation:

If the charge is released at rest in an electric field, it will move along the electric field, going to regions of higher electric potential if it is a negative charge (against the field direction) and towards lower potential regions if it is positive (along the field). This means that the charge will gain kinetic energy, energy that only can come from a decrease in the electric potential energy.

For a positive charge: ΔEp = q*ΔV < 0 (as ΔV < 0)

For a negative charge: ΔEp = (-q) *ΔV < 0 (as ΔV > 0)

Alisiya [41]
ONE CAN perform this by doing an ideal experiment
by creating an isothermal system
its like you supply heat to a body and that body is present at very low temperature the amount of heat you supply is equal to the amount of heat lost by that body due to difference in the temperature of the body and the surrounding. heating curve will be constant as there is no change in the internal energy of the system ..

Two 800 cm^3 containers hold identical amounts of a monatomic gas at 20°C. Container A is rigid. Container B has a 100 cm^2 pis
Vikki [24]

Answer:

1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B

2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below

3) The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Explanation:

Given that;

Temperature = 20°C = 293 K

mass of piston = 10 kg

Area = 100cm³

Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L

ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol

1)

Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B

2)

Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,

3)

Initial  pressures in containers A and B

PV = nRT

P = RT/V

we substitute

P = (8.3 × 293) /  0.8

P = 2431.9 / 0.8

P = 3039.87 J/liters

Therefore, The Initial  pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters

4)

Given that;

power = 25 W

time t = 15s

the final volume of container B = ?

we know that;

work done = power × time

work done = 25 × 15 = 375

Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )

so we substitute

375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )

( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87

V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336

V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8

V₂ = 0.92336 Litres

V₂ = 923.36 cm³

Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?​
andrezito [222]
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.
