Answer: The magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field.

Explanation:

According to Ohm's law, the current flowing between two points in the circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference at a constant temperature.

The electric potential is the amount of work done in moving a unit positive charge from reference point to a particular point in a electric field. And the electric field is equal to the negative potential gradient.

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric current is directly proportional to the potential difference of the electric field.

Two facing surfaces of two large parallel conducting plates separated by 8.5 cm have uniform surface charge densities such that

elena-s [515]

Answer:

positive plate

E = 5.764 KV / m

W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

E_k = 490 eV

Explanation:

part a

The potential difference between two plates = 490 V

Distance between two plates = 8.5 cm

Answer: The positive plate is at higher potential because of convention.

part b

Electric Field between the plates

E = V / d

E = 490 / 0.085 = 5.764 KV / m

Answer: Electric Field between the plates E = 5.764 KV / m

part c

Work done by electric field

W = V*q

W = 490 * 1.602*10^-19

W = 7.85 * 10^-17 J

or W = 490 eV

Answer: Work done by electric field W = 490eV or 7.85 * 10^-17 J

part d

Potential Energy of an electron gained:

E_p = m_e * g * d / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 9.109*10^-31* 9.81 * 0.085 / (1.602*10^-19)

E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV

Very very small E_p approximately 0

Answer: Potential Energy of an electron gained E_p = 4.74 *10^(-12) eV or 0.

part e

Kinetic Energy of an electron gained:

W - E_p = E_k

E_k = 490eV - 4.74*10^(-12)eV

E_k = 490 eV

Answer: Kinetic Energy of an electron gained E_k = 490 eV

What’s the difference between gravitational force & gravitational field strength?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by a unit mass. Gravitational force is the amount of force acting on a body. It is the product of field strength times the mass under consideration. Gravitational pull is just a more colloquial name for gravitational force.

when an object falls to the ground, only the object moves down but the earth's motion is not noticeable.why?

vlada-n [284]

Both the object and earth pulls each other towards itself but since the mass and pulling force of objects are very small the pulling force of objects are negligible.
