A scientific theory is an explanation of an aspect of the natural world that can be repeatedly tested and verified in accordance with the scientific method, using accepted protocols of observation, measurement, and evaluation of results. Where possible, theories are tested under controlled conditions in an experiment.

miv72 [106K]

A conductor that is conducting current generates a magnetic field everywhere around it. This magnetic field exerts force on the compass's magnetic needle, causing the needle to deviate.

Definition of Maxwell's rule

A current-conducting conductor creates a magnetic field everywhere around it. The magnetic needle of the compass experiences force from this magnetic field, which causes the needle to veer.

Equation for deflection

We have so far established that the total flux of electric field out of a closed surface is just the total enclosed charge multiplied by 1/ε0, ∫→E⋅d→A=q/ε0. This is Maxwell's first equation. It represents completely covering the surface with a large number of tiny patches having areas d→A.

Gwar [14]

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field in the positive x direction with magnitude 850 N/C. The change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.50m is -3.40 × 10⁻¹⁶ J (Option B)

<h3 /><h3>How is the change in electric potential energy of the proton-field system calculated?</h3>

Work done on the proton =Negative of the change in the electric potential energy of the proton field
In the given case, W = -qΔV
-W = qΔV
= qEcosθ
Therefore, work done on the proton = -e(8.50× $10^2$ N/C)(2.5m)(1)
= -3.40× $10^-^1^6$ J
Any change in the potential energy indicates the work done by the proton.
Therefore the positive sign shows that the potential energy increases when the proton does the work.
The negative sign shows that the potential energy decreases when the proton does the work.
