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.

After getting a haircut, Joey’s barber spins him around in his barber’s chair 2 times per second. Is period or frequency given?
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

This figure given is the frequency; 2 times per second represents frequency.

What is frequency?

  • It is the number of times per seconds something goes past or around another.

 it is expressed as:

            Frequency  = \frac{n}{t}

                  where n is the number of turns

                              t is the time taken

  Therefore, the Barber spinned him 2 times in 1 second.

The period is the inverse of frequency. It is the time taken for a body to go through a point;

              Period  = \frac{t}{n }   = \frac{1}{f}    = \frac{1}{2}s
