Answer:

b. They orbit around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the ecliptic plane.

Explanation:

All the objects of the solar system revolve around the Sun in a counterclockwise direction. The comet coming from the Oort's cloud will also follow the same kind of orbit. That is why it can't be a property to distinguish an Oort's cloud comet.

All other properties are correct to identify an Oort's cloud comet as the Oort's cloud is a considered a spherical cloud just outside the Solar system.

Answer True or Flase1-Electric potential due to a uniform E field doesn’t change with location.2-The equipotential surfaces asso

TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

$-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}$

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

$V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}$

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.
