Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E=4.99\times 10^6\ N/C

The relation between the electric force and the electric field is given by :

F=qE

Where

q is the charge

(a) Charge on the electron, q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Electrostatic force,

F=-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 4.99\times 10^6

F=-7.98\times 10^{-13}\ N  

(b) If an electron is missing, the net charge remains the same only sign changes.

So, force becomes, F=7.98\times 10^{-13}\ N  

Hence, this is the required solution.

leva [86]

Answer:

b. Both stars will have the same shift.

Explanation:

It's a very simple problem to solve. Star 1 is approaching toward Earth with a speed v, so let's assume that the change in Doppler Shift is +F and Star 2 is moving away so the change in Doppler shift is -F. But it's time to notice the speed of both stars and that is same but only directions are different. speed is the main factor here. The magnitude of both shifts is F as we can see and + and - are showing there direction of motion. So, because of same amount of speed, both stars will have same shift magnitude. (Just the directions are different)

The generation of a magnetic field by an electric current is___ .
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

Electromagnetic induction

Explanation:

The process of generating electric current with a magnetic field. It occurs whenever a magnetic field and an electric conductor move relative to one another so the conductor crosses lines of force in the magnetic field.

How does laser works ?<br>​
erastova [34]

Explanation:

Lasers produce a narrow beam of light in which all of the light waves have very similar wavelengths. The laser's light waves travel together with their peaks all lined up, or in phase. This is why laser beams are very narrow, very bright, and can be focused into a very tiny spot.
