Answer:

An ion.

Explanation:

Atoms can gain or lose electrons and become ions, which are atoms that have a positive or negative charge, because they have unequal numbers of protons and electrons.

Points A [at (2, 3) m] and B [at (5, 7) m] are in a region where the electric field is uniform and given by E = (4i+3j)N/C. What

kkurt [141]

Answer:

- 144 V

Explanation:

A = (2, 3) m = 2 i + 3 j

B = (5, 7) m = 5 i + 7 j

Displacement vector = AB = B - A = (3 i + 4 j) m

Electric field, E = (4 i + 3 j ) N/C

V = - E . AB

V = - (4 i + 3 j) . (3 i + 4 j)

V = - (12 + 12) = - 144 V

What happens to the charge on the conductive sphere when it is connected to a source of charge such as the electrostatic voltage

hichkok12 [17]

Answer and Explanation:

The charge on the conductive sphere spreads out non-uniformly over the surface of the sphere.

Normally, the charge on such spherical surface stay on this surface uniformly, but the presence of a voltage source tampers with that dynamic.

Light travels through a liquid at 2.25e8 m/s. What is the index of refraction of the liquid?

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water

Explanation:

Solution:-

- The index of refraction of light in a medium ( n ) determines the degree of "bending" of light in that medium.

- The index of refraction is material property and proportional to density of the material.

- The denser the material the slower the light will move through associated with considerable diffraction angles.

- The lighter the material the faster the light pass through the material without being diffracted as much.

- So, in the other words index of refraction can be expressed as how fast or slow light passes through a medium.

- The reference of comparison of how fast or slow the light is the value of c = 3.0*10^8 m/s i.e speed of light in vacuum or also assumed to be the case for air.

- so we can mathematically express the index of refraction as a ratio of light speed in the material specified and speed of light.

- The light passes through a liquid with speed v = 2.25*10^8 m/s :

$n = c / v\\\\n = \frac{ 3*10^8 }{2.25*10^8} \\\\n = 1.33$

- The index of refraction of the liquid is n = 1.33 equivalent to that of water.
