Answer with explanation :

The negative sign means that the potential energy decreases by the movement of the electron.

negative charge at rest in an electric field moves toward the region of an electric field , so that its potential energy will diminish and change into the kinetic energy of motion. The total energy remains constant.

Positive charges will move downhill because of convention. It is to stay in accordance with other potential theories, particularly gravity, where the "charge" is mass, that moves downwards in the gravitational potential field expressed by ϕ(r)=−GM|r|ϕ(r)=−GM|r|. In an electronic system, howbeit, positive charges are fixed in their position within a component (e.g., a wire), therefore instead of the mobile,the negative charges, electrons, move uphill.

We are given an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 5.09 x 10^14 Hz and travelling through a transparent medium. If the medium was vacuum, the speed of the wave would be equal to the speed of light. Otherwise, the main factor that would determine the speed of the wave is its wavelength.

How long does it take for the speed of light and sound to travel around the world
irina [24]

-- Light travels straight, not around in a circle. But if it did, it would cover
a distance equal to the length of the equator in about <em>0.13 second</em>.

-- At the speed of sound (in air at standard temperature and pressure),
it would take about <em>32.6 hours </em>to cover the same distance.

Q¹=0,07Mc Q²=2C r=1,08 cm F=.......?
Nostrana [21]
The force (F) of attraction or repulsion between two point charges (Q1 and Q2) is given by the following rule:
F = <span>(k * q1 * q2) / (r^2)  where:
</span>q1 and q2 are the charges
k is coulomb's constant = 9 x 10^9<span> N. m</span>2/ C<span>2
</span>r is the distance between the two charges.

Applying the givens in the mentioned equation, we find that:
F = (9 x 10^9<span> x 0.07 x 10^6 x 2) / (0.0108)^2 = 1.08 x 10^19 n </span>
