The direction of the force experienced by the positive charge is upward.
We can use the right-hand rule to understand the direction of the Lorentz force acting on the charge: let's put the thumb in the same direction of the current in the wire (eastward), while the other fingers "wrap themselves" around the wire. These other fingers give the direction of the Lorentz force in every point of the space around the wire. Since the charge is located north of the wire, in that point the fingers are directed upward, so the positive charge experiences a force directed upward.
(if it was a negative charge, we should have taken the opposite direction)
Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Explanation:
If Oxygen has an atomic number of 8, we can conclude that:
- If neutral, it has 8 protons and 8 electrons
- It has 8 neutrons and its atomic mass is 16 (A = 8 + 8)
- It must be located in the group VI A
- Its valence number must be 6
- Its Oxidation number is -2
