The correct answer is: Option (C) <span>A positive charge crosses an equipotential line toward the source charge.

Explanation:
The red circles drawn are the equipotential circles. It means that on the line of the circle the work that YOU have done from bringing the positive test charge from infinity to every point on the line of the circle is same. Imagine you are moving towards the source charge from very far away. The more you move towards the source charge the more you will experience the force on you due to the increasing electric field near the charge and the more POSITIVE work you do. It means the work increases and in Electromagnetism that work is translated as the voltage. Hence a</span> positive charge crosses an equipotential line toward the source charge with the increase in voltage. Therefore the correct option is (C).

Explanation:

In order from highest to lowest energy, the sections of the EM spectrum are named: gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, infrared radiation, and radio waves. Microwaves (like the ones used in microwave ovens) are a subsection of the radio wave segment of the EM spectrum.

Why were epicycles necessary in ptolemy’s model of the universe?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

epicycles were orbits within orbits used to explain discrepancies between expected and observed planetary movement, including the appearance of planets slowing down, speeding up, and moving backward.

A 5-cm-high peg is placed in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 20 cm.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the magnification formula.

Magnification = Image distance(v)/object distance(u) = Image Height(H1)/Object Height(H2)

M = v/u = H1/H2

v/u = H1/H2...1

3) Given the radius of curvature of the concave lens R = 20cm

Focal length F = R/2

f = 20/2

f = 10cm

Object distance u = 5cm

Object height H2= 5cm

To get the image distance v, we will use the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u+1/v

1/v = 1/10-1/5

1/v = (1-2)/10

1/v =-1/10

v = -10cm

Using the magnification formula

(10)/5 = H1/5

10 = H1

H1 = 10cm

Image height of the peg is 10cm

4) If u = 15cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/15

1/v = 3-2/30

1/v = 1/30

v = 30cm

30/15 = H1/5

15H1 = 150

H1/= 10cm

5) if u = 20cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/20

1/v = 2-1/20

1/v = 1/20

v = 20cm

20/20 = H1/5

20H1 = 100

H1 = 5cm

6) If u = 30cm

1/v = 1/f-1/u

1/v = 1/10-1/30

1/v = 3-1/30

1/v = 2/30

v = 30/2 cm

v =>15cm

15/30 = Hi/5

30H1 = 75

H1 = 75/30

H1 = 2.5cm

A long, thin rod parallel to the y-axis is located at x = - 1 cm and carries a uniform positive charge density λ = 1 nC/m . A se

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The electric field at origin is 3600 N/C

Solution:

As per the question:

Charge density of rod 1, $\lambda = 1\ nC = 1\times 10^{- 9}\ C$

Charge density of rod 2, $\lambda = - 1\ nC = - 1\times 10^{- 9}\ C$

Now,

To calculate the electric field at origin:

We know that the electric field due to a long rod is given by:

$\vec{E} = \frac{\lambda }{2\pi \epsilon_{o}{R}$

Also,

$\vec{E} = \frac{2K\lambda }{R}$ (1)

where

K = electrostatic constant = $\frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_{o} R}$

R = Distance

$\lambda$ = linear charge density

Now,

In case, the charge is positive, the electric field is away from the rod and towards it if the charge is negative.

At x = - 1 cm = - 0.01 m:

Using eqn (1):

$\vec{E} = \frac{2\times 9\times 10^{9}\times 1\times 10^{- 9}}{0.01} = 1800\ N/C$

$\vec{E} = 1800\ N/C$ (towards)

Now, at x = 1 cm = 0.01 m :

Using eqn (1):

$\vec{E'} = \frac{2\times 9\times 10^{9}\times - 1\times 10^{- 9}}{0.01} = - 1800\ N/C$

$\vec{E'} = 1800\ N/C$ (towards)

Now, the total field at the origin is the sum of both the fields:

$\vec{E_{net}} = 1800 + 1800 = 3600\ N/C$
