Points A, B, and C lie along a line from left to right, respectively. Point B is at a lower electric potential than point A. Poi

nt C is at a lower electric potential than point B. Which one of the following statements best describes the subsequent motion, if any, of a positively-charged particle released from rest at point B?
A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.
B) The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point C.
C) The particle will remain at rest.
D) The particle will move at constant velocity in the direction of point A.
E) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point A.

Answer:

A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.

Explanation:

As we know that

potential at points A, B,C and D as V_A, V_B, V_C, V_D  and it is clear from the question that

V_A>V_B>V_C

And we know that flow is always from higher to lower potential (for positive charge due to positive potential energy).

So the charge will accelerate from B toward C.

Hence, the correct option is A.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

The voltage across the resistor is zero, and the voltage across the capacitor is equal to the terminal voltage of the battery.

Explanation:

This is because when a capacitor is charged no current or voltage flows through it so it will have a voltage equal to the terminal voltage of the battery

Chanice drives her scooter 7 kilometers north. she stops for lunch and then drives 5 kilometers and then 1 km east again. what d
lord [1]

Distance covered is given as follows

1). 7 km North

2). 5 km North

3). 1 km East

Now total distance covered will be given as

d = d_1 + d_2 + d_3

d = 7 km + 5 km + 1 km

d = 13 km

Now in order to find the displacement we will show all with their directions

\vec d_1 = 7 + 5 = 12 km towards North

\vec d_2 = 1 km towards East

So total displacement is

\vec d = \vec d_1 + \vec d_2

\vec d = 12 \hat j + 1 \hat i

so net displacement will be

d = \sqrt{12^2 + 1^2} = 12.04 km

so displacement is 12.04 km

A cube that has a volume of 1.00 m³ contains N distinguishable particles.
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

1 P = 0.5

2 P = 0.3

3 P = 0.01

Explanation:

The probability formula is

          P =V^N

Where P is the probability  V is the volume while N is the number of distinguishing particles

So for N = 1 and V = 0.500m^3

           P = (0.500m^3)^1\\

               = 0.5

For  N = 1 and V =  0.300m^3

           P = (0.300m^3)^1

               = 0.3

For   N = 1 and V = 0.0100m^3

     P =(0.0100m^3)^1

         = 0.01
