A positively charged body exerts an electric field that causes a positively charged particle to move away from it. If work is do
ne to push this particle towards the body, what form of energy will the particle have? a. mechanical energy
b. electric potential energy
c. heat energy
d. kinetic energy
The energy required to move a charge against the electric field is known as the electric potential energy. As in above case positively charged body is exerting an electric field on the positive charge. As the same charges repel so the charge tend to move away. In order to push it towards the body we need a work done. As it is hard to push the positive charged particle towards the positive electric field. So in the cases like these particle occupies the electric potential energy.
gives a number of images formed by reflection from the mirrors inclined to one another. Designers and artists use kaleidoscope to get ideas for new patterns to design wallpapers, jewellery and fabrics.
The images show two different types of Galapagos tortoises that scientists believe descended from the same species. The first type (left) are found on islands that have high vegetation and few grasses. The second type (right) are found on an island that has large amounts of grasses and low-lying shrubs. What explains the type of turtle found on the islands with high vegetation?
