3. A force is exerted on a positively-charged particle that moves the particle in the direction opposite to that of an electric

field. Which one of the following statements concerning the work performed in this movement is true? a) The work done on the particle has a positive sign. b) No work is done on such a charged particle, if it is moved in a direction that is parallel or anti-parallel to an electric field. c) The work done on the particle has a negative sign. d) One cannot answer this question without knowing the kind of particle involved

Answer:

a) The work done on the particle has a positive  sign.

Explanation:

When a positive charge is placed in a electric field , a force is exerted by electric field along the direction of the electric field . But the external force is acting on it so that displacement is opposite to the field . That means the external force is acting opposite to electric force on the charged particle.

The displacement is along the external force applied so both force and displacement are positive . Hence work done is positive .

Work done by electric field is negative , because displacement and electric force are opposite.

Two resistors with values of 6.0 ohms and 12 ohms are connected in parallel. This combination is connected in series with a 2.0
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

4A

Explanation:

According to ohm's law;

E = IRt where;

E is the source voltage = 24volts

I is the total current flowing in the circuit = ?

Rt is the total effective resistance in the circuit.

To find Rt, we will resolve the resistors in parallel first.

Since 6ohms and 12ohms resistors are in parallel, their effective resistance will give;

1/R = 1/6+1/12

1/R= 2+1/12

1/R = 3/12

3R = 12

R = 4ohms.

This resistor will now be in series with the 2.0ohms resistor to finally have;

Rt = 4+2

Rt = 6ohms

From the ohms law formula;

I = E/Rt

I = 24/6

I = 4Amperes

The total current in the circuit is 4A

This same currents will flow in the 2ohms resistor since same current flows in a series connected resistors.

yarga [219]

Answer:

a. metallic bond

b. the valence electrons from the s and p orbitals of the interacting metal atoms delocalize. That is to say, instead of orbiting their respective metal atoms, they form a “cloud” of electrons that surrounds the positively charged atomic nuclei of the interacting metal ions.

c. due to the presence of free electrons in its outer energy levels
