Answer:

For a positive point charge, the lines radiate outward. While, for a negative point charge, the lines converge inward.

Explanation:

The electric field produced by a single point charge has a radial shape and follows an inverse square law. The magnitude is given by

$E=k\frac{q}{r^2}$

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the magnitude of the charge

r is the distance from the charge

The direction of the field depends on the sign of the charge. In particular, we have:

For a positive charge, the direction of the field is out of the charge
FOr a negative charge, the direction of the field is towards the charge

This is due to the fact that the direction of the field shows the direction of the force that a positive test charge would experience in this field. Therefore, since a positive test charge would feel a repulsive force in the field produced by a positive charge, then the direction of the field is outward; on the other hand, a positive test charge would feel an attractive force in the field produced by a positive charge, therefore the direction of the field is inward.

Two resistors R1 = 3 Ω and R2 = 6 Ω are connected in parallel. What is the net resistance in the circuit?

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

"2Ω" is the net resistance in the circuit.

Explanation:

The given resistors are:

R1 = 3Ω

R2 = 6Ω

The net resistance will be:

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{R_1} +\frac{1}{R_2}$

On substituting the values, we get

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{6}$

On taking L.C.M, we get

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{2+1}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{3}{6}$

⇒ $\frac{1}{R_{net}} =\frac{1}{2}$

On applying cross-multiplication, we get

⇒ $R_{net}=2 \Omega$

Why is Pluto now called a dwarf planet

zvonat [6]

Before Pluto was discovered, it was predicted. Astronomers had observed that massive objects can affect the orbits of its neighbors, and, after seeing deviations in the orbits of Uranus and Neptune, assumed something substantial existed beyond their orbits.
When Pluto was spotted, it was thought to be the predicted object and was identified as a ninth planet.
A few decades later, astronomers started discovering more and more objects around other stars and didn’t know whether to call them planets or not. There appeared to be a need to define what a planet means, and that led to what some people consider Pluto’s demotion to a dwarf planet.
The International Astronomical Union decided that full-sized planets must orbit the sun, have a round shape, and have cleared their orbits of other objects. Pluto fulfills the first two criteria, but not the third.
It still goes around the sun, it’s round enough, it’s got moons, and behaves like a planet, but the idea is that Pluto did not form the same way as the rest of the planets. Pluto’s orbit is both eccentric and inclined more than the rest of the planets by about 17 degrees. That’s suggests something is different about this object.
This debate about whether to call it a planet or not is silly, because it doesn’t matter to Pluto what you call it. It is an interesting object, goes around the sun, and shows geology and an atmosphere.
There’s a tendency to define objects based on what they are now, but nothing is constant in the universe. There are some issues with the nomenclature, and a definition today may not apply to the same object tomorrow.
