The figure shows a positive charge placed in a uniform electric field. Is the force exerted on the +1 C charge directed up or do
wn?

Answer:
DOWN
Explanation:
When a positive charge is placed in uniform or nonuniform electric field then due to the Electric field present in that region the charge will experience electrostatic force on itself.
This electrostatic force is given as
here we know
q = charge
E = electric field
Now if charge is positive then force on the charge is always in the direction of electric field but if charge is negative then force is exactly opposite to electric field direction.
So here it will have force in the direction of electric field which is DOWN

Answer:
B = 0.8 T
Explanation:
It is given that,
Radius of circular loop, r = 0.75 m
Current in the loop, I = 3 A
The loop may be rotated about an axis that passes through the center and lies in the plane of the loop.
When the orientation of the normal to the loop with respect to the direction of the magnetic field is 25°, the torque on the coil is 1.8 Nm.
We need to find the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop. Torque acting on the loop is given by :
B is magnetic field
So, the magnitude of the uniform magnetic field exerting this torque on the loop is 0.8 T.
Answer:
154° at 195 km/h
Explanation:
The helicopter is moving south at 175 km/h, relative to the wind.
But the wind is moving east at 85 km/h, relative to the ground.
This means that the helicopter is moving south east relative to the ground.
Every hour, the helicopter will move 175 km to the south and 85 km to the east, relative to the ground.
This means that we can determine the speed and direction of the helicopter using a right triangle and simple trigonometry.
Refer to the triangle b1.
The distance traveled by the helicopter in 1 hour is denoted by d.
d is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can calculate d to be 195 km (rounded to 3 s. f.)
Hence the helicopter is traveling at 195 km/h relative to the ground.
To calculate the direction we use,
tan (x) = opposite/adjacent = 85/175
So the angle x is,
= 25.9°
Relative to the North, the helicopter is moving at 180° - 25.9° = 154° (rounded to 3 s. f.)
