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.

Answer:

170N

Explanation:

First add 530N to 150N and you get 680N, then add 400N to 450N and get 850N. So subtract 850N by 680N and you get 170N

Complete the paragraph to compare Uranus and Neptune.
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Uranus and Neptun are outer planets od the Solar system, since they are located after the asteroid belt. All of these outer planets are much larger then the inner ones so they are called the "ice giants". The other reason for this name is that they are very far from the Sun, so their temperature is low. Another feature they have in common is their atmosphere which is composed of gases, including methane, which is responsible for their blue color, since methane absorbs red light. However Neptune is known for very fast winds and storms in its atmosphere which is responsible for its high activity and changes.

So, the blanks should be filled with:

Sun

methane

Neptune

outer planets

What is the speed of alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays ?
Leya [2.2K]
Alpha particles are released by proton rich unstable nuclei. It has no electrons to balance the protons making it positively charged particles moving at very high speeds. Gamma articles are electromagnetic waves of short wavelength and high frequency. It has a speed same as the speed of light. Beta particles are released by neutron rich unstable nuclei. It has a speed of less than the gamma particles.
