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.

Responsible for weather patterns on earth is what convention, radiation, conduction?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Convection. Convection is the transfer of heat energy in a fluid. ... As the rock's temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air. This bubble of air rises into the atmosphere.

A flash of red light and a flash of blue light enter a glass cube perpendicular to its surface at the same time. after passing t
Wewaii [24]

A flash of red light and a flash of blue light enter a glass cube perpendicular to its surface at the same time. after passing through the block, the red light pulse exits first.

For any medium, other than vacuum, the index of refraction for red light is slightly lower (closer to 1 ) than that for blue light. This means that when light goes from vacuum (or air) into glass, the red light deviates from its original direction less than does the blue light. Also, as the light reemerges from the glass into vacuum (or air), the red light again deviates less than the blue light. If the two surfaces of the glass are parallel to each other, the red and blue rays will emerge traveling parallel to each other, but displaced laterally from one another.

what is refractive index?

The ratio between the speed of light in medium to speed in a vacuum is the refractive index. When light travels in a medium other than the vacuum, the atoms of that medium continually absorb and re-emit the particles of light, slowing down the speed light.

Two 3 m long conductors are separated from each other by 5 mm and carry a current of 10 A dc. Calculate the force that one condu
makkiz [27]

Answer:

0.012 N

Explanation:

The formula to apply is that adopted from the Ampere law which is;

F= μ* I₁*I₂*l /2πd   where

F is force that one conductor exerts on the other.

μ = magnetic permeability of free space = 4π×10⁻⁷ T. m/A

I₁ = current in conductor one=10 A

I₂ = current in conductor two= 10 A

l= length of conductor= 3 m

d= distance between the conductors = 5 mm = 0.005 m

Applying the values in the equation

F= 4π×10⁻⁷ *10*10*3 / 2π*0.005

F= 6 * 10⁻⁵ / 0.005

F=0.012 N
