Answer:

The lines of force run circles around the wire.

Explanation:

The region around a magnetic material or a moving charge particle is called magnetic field. The direction of magnetic field line is given by right hand thumb rule.

The thumb denotes the direction of electric current, then the curled finger will show the direction of magnetic field.

For a straight wire, the direction of magnetic field lines are circular.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

The answer to this is C. The reason being is because if you were to use a compass then it would be making circular motions towards the middle of the wire.

Which two factors decrease as the kinetic energy of the particles in an object decrease
Ostrovityanka [42]

The particle temperature and the valency of the atom in the particles are the two parameters that decrease with the kinetic energy of the particles in an item.

<h3>What is temperature?</h3>

Temperature directs to the hotness or coldness of a body. In clear terms, it is the method of finding the kinetic energy of particles within an entity. Faster the motion of particles more the temperature.

Because an item possesses kinetic energy when it is moving, anything that prevents that motion will reduce the kinetic energy of the object.

A valence electron is an electron in the outermost shell associated with an atom that can experience the innovation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed. Both atoms contribute one valence electron to create a shared pair.

More the valence electron more the motion of atoms results in more kinetic energy,

Hence the two factors decrease as the kinetic energy of the particles in an object will be the particle temperature and the valency of the atom in the particles.

To learn more about the temperature refer to the link;

4. A cinder block is sitting on a platform 20 m high. It has a mass of 4 kg. The block has energy. Calculate it.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the block is at rest in an elevated position, we can assume that it only has potential energy.

U=mgh is the formula for potential energy where U=potential energy, m= mass, g=acceleration due to gravity, and h=height.

Plug in known variables....

U=4kg*9.8m/s^2*20m

U=784 joules of potential energy or letter A.

How would you change the distance between two charged particles to increase the electric force between them by a factor of 16
Naily [24]

The electrostatic force between two charges is inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them.

So if you want to multiply the force by, say, ' Q ',
you need to multiply the distance by  ( 1 / √Q ) .

We want to multiply the force by 16, so we need to
multiply the distance by    ( 1 / √16 )  =  ( 1 / 4 ) .

The distance should be changed to  1/4  of what it is now.

Atmospheric pressure and density at the top of Mount Everest ​
Art [367]

The summit of Mount Everest has an average pressure around 30 kPa. ... A barometer also measures variations in atmospheric pressure. As altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, the density of air decreases, and the pressure of the air decreases as well.
