Which way does current always flow?

Physics
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Electrons move through the wires in the opposite direction.

Explanation:

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery.

The charges of two particles are as follows: Q1=2 x 10 -8 C and Q2 = 3 x 10 -7 C. Find the magnitude of the force between these
Fantom [35]

Answer:

F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N

Explanation:

First, we will find the distance between the two particles:

r = \sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^2+(y_{2}-y_{1})^2+(z_{2}-z_{1})^2}\\

where,

r = distance between the particles = ?

(x₁, y₁, z₁) = (2, 5, 1)

(x₂, y₂, z₂) = (3, 2, 3)

Therefore,

r = \sqrt{(3-2)^2+(2-5)^2+(3-1)^2}\\r = 3.741\ m\\

Now, we will calculate the magnitude of the force between the charges by using Coulomb's Law:

F = \frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^2}\\

where,

F = magnitude of force = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ Nm²/C²

q₁ = magnitude of first charge = 2 x 10⁻⁸ C

q₂ = magnitude of second charge = 3 x 10⁻⁷ C

r = distance between the charges = 3.741 m

Therefore,

F = \frac{(9\ x\ 10^9\ Nm^2/C^2)(2\ x\ 10^{-8}\ C)(3\ x\ 10^{-7}\ C)}{(3.741\ m)^2}\\

<u>F = 3.86 x 10⁻⁶ N</u>

A 0.15 g honeybee acquires a charge of 22 pC while flying. The electric field near the surface of the earth is typically 100 N/C
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

1.50\ *10^{-6} }

Explanation:

Given

e=100 N/C

M=0.15 g

q=\ 22\  pC\\=\ 22\ *10^{-2}

The  ratio of the electric force on the bee to the bee's weight can be determined by the following formula

\frac{fe}{M*9.81}

\frac{22*10^{-12\ *\ 100} }{0.15*\ 10^{-3} *\ 9.81}

=\ 1.50\ *10^{-6}

A capacitor C is fully charged by connecting it to battery of V Volt. Then it is disconnected from battery. If the separation be
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

i )

When it is disconnected with the battery , the charge stored in it becomes fixed . When the plate distance becomes half , its capacitance becomes twice from C to 2C . Let charge stored in it at the time of disconnection from battery be Q . Let plate separation reduces from d to d / 2

So charged stored in it will remain unchanged .

ii )

Potential difference = charge / capacitance

in the first case potential difference = Q / C

in the second case potential difference = Q / 2C

So potential difference becomes half .

iii ) electric field = potential diff / plate separation

in the first case electric field = Q / (d x C )

in the second case electric field = 2 Q / (d x 2C)

= Q / (d  x C )

So electric field remains unchanged .

iv)

energy stored in first case = Q² / 2C

In the second case energy stored = Q² / 2x2C

so energy stored becomes half .

A student hangs a weight on a newtonmeter. The energy currently stored in the spring in the newton meter is 0.045N. The student
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

5x10^-3

Explanation:

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to compress or extend a spring is directly proportional to the distance you stretch it.

Hooke's Law can be represented as

<h3> F = kx, </h3>

<em>where F is the force </em>

<em>            k is the spring constant</em>

<em>            x is the extension of the material </em>

<em />

Plug values in the equation

Step 1 find the original extension

0.045 = (400)x

x = 1.125x 10^-4 m d

Step 2 find the new extension

0.045+2 = 400(x)

2.045 = 400x

x = 5.1125x10^-3

Step 3 subtract the new extension with original

Total extension of the spring =  5.1125x10^-3 - 1.125x 10^-4 m = 5x10^-3

The level of mercury falls in a barometer<br>while taking it to a mountain.​
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

This is due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places.

Explanation:

Given that atmospheric pressure decreases at the higher point or ground, this reduced atmospheric pressure, however, will be unable to contain the Mercury in the barometer tube.

Therefore, at the top of the mountain where the air pressure is low, the barometer reading ultimately goes down.

Hence, the level of mercury falls in a barometer while taking it to a mountain "due to a relative decrease in atmospheric pressure in high places."
