When an object with a negative charge is moved from point A to point B through an external electrical field, it gains electrical

potential energy. When an object with positive charge is moved from point A to point B though the same field, it loses electrical potential energy. Which of the following statements is true? Select all that apply.
A:Because the positive and negative charges cancel out, the potential difference between A and B is zero (that is, VB = VA).

B:The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

C:The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

D: The negatively charged object moves through a positive potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA > 0).

E:The positively charged object moves through a positive potential difference from A and B (that is, VB - VA > 0).

Explanation:

As per the problem,

           \Delta U = (V_{B} - V_{A})(-q) > 0

When q > 0 then -q is a negative charge . Since, change in potential energy (\Delta U) increases.

or,     (V_{A} - V_{B})q > 0

or,      V_{A} > V_{B}

Therefore, both positive and negative charge will move from V_{A} to V_{B} and as V_{B} < V_{A} so both of them move through a negative potential difference.

Thus, we can conclude that the true statements are as follows.

  • The positively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).
  • The negatively charged object moves through a negative potential difference between A and B (that is, VB - VA < 0).

A charge of 7.00 mC is placed at opposite corners corner of a square 0.100 m on a side and a charge of -7.00 mC is placed at oth
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

4.03\times10^{7}N[/tex], 135°

Explanation:

charge, q = 7 mC = 0.007 C

charge, - q = - 7 mC = - 0.007 C

d = 0.1 m

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at D is FD.

F_{D}=\frac{kq^{2}}{DC^{2}}

F_{D}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1^{2}}=4.41 \times 10^{7}N

The direction of FD is along C to D.

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at B is FB.

F_{B}=\frac{kq^{2}}{BC^{2}}

F_{B}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1^{2}}=4.41 \times 10^{7}N

The direction of FB is along C to B.

Let the force on charge placed at C due to charge placed at A is FA.

F_{A}=\frac{kq^{2}}{AC^{2}}

F_{D}=\frac{9 \times10^{9}\times 0.007 \times 0.007}{0.1 \times\sqrt{2} \times 0.1 \times\sqrt{2}}=2.205 \times 10^{7}N

The direction of FA is along A to C.

The net force along +X axis

F_{x}=F_{A}Cos45-F_{D}

F_{x}=2.205\times10^{7}Cos45-4.41\times10^{7}=-2.85\times10^{7}N

The net force along +Y axis

F_{y}=F_{B}-F_{A}Sin45

F_{y}=4.41\times10^{7}-2.205\times10^{7}Sin45=2.85\times10^{7}N

The resultant force is given by

F=\sqrt{F_{x}^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(-2.85\times10^{7})^{2}+(2.85\times10^{7})^{2}}

F = 4.03\times10^{7}N

The angle from x axis is Ф

tan Ф = - 1

Ф = -45°

Angle from + X axis is 180° - 45° = 135°

The Surface Pressure at Leh, Ladakh is 800 mb. Now, assuming that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m increase in he
Basile [38]

We have that the sea level pressure for Leh area is 1150mb mathematically given as

Ps= 1150 mb

<h3> Sea level pressure</h3>

Question Parameters:

Ladakh is 800 mb.

<u>assuming </u>that Leh is at an altitude of 3500 m and every 100 m

increase in height with respect to sea level corresponds to 10 mb pressure,

Generally, for 3500m the pressure change will be 350 mb.

Therefore,  here for the sea level <em>pressure</em> we need to add,

Ps=800+350

Ps= 1150 mb
