Answer:

The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation:

As the power lines  of ground are equal, so its electrical field is perpendicular to the ground and the equipotential surface is cylindrical. Therefore, if we put the position fluorescent tube parallel to the ground so the both ends of the tube lie on the same equipotential surface and the difference is zero when its  potential.

And the ends of the tube must be on separate equipotential surfaces to optimize potential. The surface near the power line has a greater potential value and the surface farther from the line has a lower potential value, so the tube must be placed perpendicular to the floor to maximize the potential difference.

Lynna [10]

The potential difference between points a and b is zero.

<h3>Total emf of the series circuit</h3>

The total emf in the circuit is the sum of all the emf in the circuit.

emf(total) = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3.0 V

<h3>Potential difference</h3>

The potential difference between two points, a and b is calculated as follows;

V(ab) = Va - Vb

V(ab) = 1.5 - 1.5

V(ab) = 0

Thus, the potential difference between points a and b is zero.

Im sorry i dont understand pls helpp -w-

Temperature is related to a physical change of a substance because it determines the state of the object via cooling, heating or freezing. To make the concept clear, hear are some examples:-
1. Chocolate melts and turns into liquid form. This is a physical change
2. Water freezes via cooling and forms ice which is in a solid state. This is another physical change

Hope this helped and have a nice day : )

Darya [45]

The kinetic energy will be greatest at the bottom of the swing motion.

The potential energy will be greatest at the highest position of the swing.

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object or system due to the position or placement of its parts. However, it is not affected by the external environment of the object or system. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is the energy of the particles of an object or system in motion.

In an oscillating pendulum, the potential energy and gravitational kinetic energy are constantly changing. The potential and kinetic energies are maximal at extreme and intermediate positions, respectively.
