A very large sheet of insulating material has had an excess of electrons placed on it to a surface charge density of –3.00nC/m2

. (a) As the distance from the sheet increases, does the potential increase or decrease? Can you explain why without any calculations? Does the location of your reference point matter? (b) What is the shape of the equipotential surfaces? (c) What is the spacing between surfaces that differ by 1.00 V?

Answer: sheet of charge

Explanation:

a )

Since the charge is negative , potential will be negative near it . At a far point potential will be less negative. So potential will virtually increase on going away from the sheet . At infinity it will become almost zero. Electric field will be towards the plate , so potential will decrease towards the plate.

b ) The shape of equi -potential surface will be plane parallel to the sheet of charge because electric field will be perpendicular to the sheet of charge and almost uniform near the sheet of charge.   The equi- potential surface is always perpendicular to electric field.

C ) Electric field which is almost uniform near the sheet of charge is equal t the following

E = σ / ε₀ where  σ is charge density of surface and  ε₀ is permittivity of medium whose value is 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

E = 3 x 10⁻⁹ / 8.85 x 10⁻¹²

= .3389 x 10³

= 338.9 V / m

spacing between 1 V

= 1 / 338.9 m

= 2.95 X 10⁻3 m

= 2.95 mm.

Why do most carnivores live in forest? given reason ​
kotegsom [21]

\huge\purple{Hi!}

most carnivore live in forest because

  1. They are highly dependent on flesh for their food and therefore their food is easily available in forests.
  2. Small animals live in forests that make it the ideal habitat for carnivores.
  3. Carnivores help in maintaining the herbivore population at a healthy level, by hunting.
  4. It all helps in keeping ecosystems in balance.

Assume four 1 kohm resistors are connected so that they form a square. what is the equivalent resistance if the resistance is me
borishaifa [10]
If the resistors are arranged in a shape of a square, then they are in a series type of circuit. This circuit arrangement is a non-branching, one-way flow of electrons. The total resistance in a series circuit is the summation of the individual resistances, If you place the ohmmeter (measures resistance) on two non-adjacent sides, then, you are measuring the resistance of two of the resistors.

Resistance = 2(1 kΩ) = 2 kΩ

Check all that are true about waterfalls
Lerok [7]
Waterfalls are created when a river flows following a descending rapid slope. The waterfall, then, flows from the source (where it starts) to the mouth (where it ends).
Waterfalls are created when the erosion of the rocks at the bottom of the slope is more powerful than the erosion of the rocks on the top.
After many years the water is able to erode the rocks on the top as well, and the waterfall slowly disappears.

Therefore the options that apply are:
b) waterfalls move towards their mouth;
c) the top or cap rock is resistant to erosion;
<span>f) waterfalls indicate a youthful river </span>
