Answer:

(B) Vertically upward

Explanation:

r = Side of triangle = 14 cm

q = Charge = -2.5 nC

Electrical force is given by

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times (2.5\times 10^{-9})^2}{0.14^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.86671\times 10^{-6}\ N

For the top charge

Net force on both charges is given by

F_n=2Fcos\theta\\\Rightarrow F_n=2\times 2.86671\times 10^{-6}\times cos30\\\Rightarrow F_n=4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

The net force acting on the top charge is 4.96529\times 10^{-6}\ N

Here the forces are symmetrical hence, the net force is along +y axis i.e., upward

A charge alters the space around it. What is this alteration of space called?
iogann1982 [59]

Answer: electric field

Explanation: when a charge is placed in space, it alters the space around it by creating an electric field.

This electric field has the ability to exert a force (f) on any test charge(q) placed within this vicinity.

This is the reason why a charge can either attract or repel another charge.

What quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.
