What is the significance of the direction of an electric field line at some point on the line?

Physics
1 answer:
Lemur [1.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer with Explanation:

The direction of the electric field line at any point gives us the direction of the electric force that will act on a positive charge if placed at the point. We know that if we place a charge in an electric field it will experience a force, as we know that force is a vector quantity hence it requires both magnitude and direction for it's complete description. The direction of this electric force that acts on a charge is given by the direction of the electric field in the space. In case the charge is negatively charged electric force will act on it in the direction opposite to the direction of electric field at the point.

What is the direction of the force for a negative charge moving downward in a magnetic field pointing to the left?
velikii [3]

Answer: A

Out of the screen

Explanation:

Using right hand rule, the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane form by the magnetic field of a charged particle and its speed. Which will be into the screen.

But the negative charged particle moves in the opposite direction of the positive charged particle. Therefore, the magnetic force direction will be out of the screen

In 0.60 seconds, a projectile goes from 0 to 610 m/s. What is the acceleration of the projectile?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: a=1016.66 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration a is expressed in the following formula:

a=\frac{V_{f}-V_{o}}{t}

Where:

V_{f}=610 m/s is the final velocity of the projectile

V_{o}=0 m/s  is the initial velocity of the projectile

t=0.6 s is the time

Solving:

a=\frac{610 m/s-0 m/s}{0.6 s}

a=1016.66 m/s^{2} This is the acceleration of the projectile

What is maxwell’s theory about atoms?
Inga [223]
To put it another way, stationary states are the same as time-independent currents. Moreover, such currents are not sources of radiation, according to Maxwell's theory. The atom will remain in its natural state and will not collapse due to a shortage of energy.
