Answer:

The correct option is

(e)either (c) or (d) could be correct.

Explanation:

The electric field of a charge radiates out in all directions and the intensity of the electric field strength given by E = F/q₀, diminishes as the lines of force moves further away from the source. The direction of F and E is in the line of potential motion of the source charge in the field.

Equipotential surfaces are locations in the radiated electric that have the same field strength or electric potential. The work done in moving within an equipotential surface is zero and as such since

Work = Force × distance = 0 where distance ≠ 0.

The force acting between two points on an equipotential surface is also zero or the component of the force within an equipotential surface is zero and since there is a force in the electric field, it is acting at right angles to the equipotential surface which could be horizontally to the left or right directions where the equipotential surfaces due to the charge distribution are in the vertical plane.

Therefore it is either horizontally to the left, or horizontally to the right.

What do nuclear fission and nuclear fusion have in common?
adoni [48]

Answer:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy

When you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair. What
Ahat [919]

I feel like the answer would be B. The chair pushes down on the floor becuase the question says when you sit in a chair, your body exerts a downward force on the chair so it would be pushing downward meaning that the chair would also go down making it push onto the floor.
