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.

How do lines of latitude affect how direct or indirect the Sun’s rays are on the Earth?
IgorLugansk [536]
The technical definition of latitude is the angular distance north or south from the earth's equator measured through 90 degrees. ... Locations at lower latitudes receive stronger and more direct sunlight than locations near the poles. Energy input from the sun is the main driving force in the atmosphere.



The Seasons at Different Latitudes
The seasonal effects are different at different latitudes on Earth. Near the equator, for instance, all seasons are much the same. Every day of the year, the Sun is up half the time, so there are approximately 12 hours of sunshine and 12 hours of night.



When we consider Latitude alone as a control, we know that the low latitudes (say from the Equator to approximately 30 degrees N/S) are the warmest across the year (on an annual basis).

Why electrons flow in a wire when connected to a battery?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The metal atoms in the wire can't move, but their outer electrons can. The force pushes those electrons and they move to further parts of the wire, trying to reach the other end. As the electrons move away, new electrons flow into the wire through the battery to take their place.

As v becomes zero at the highest point, i prefer considering different travelling directions so it will become less complicated.
dont forget to add the total time up .

also to master the skills, write down the "uvsat" may help (thats the way i found it easier to handle problems)
