Answer: The correct answer is "a positive charge always moves from a higher potential to a lower potential".

Explanation:

Electric potential: It is defined as the work done in moving a unit positive charge from from reference point to a particular point.

The electric potential difference is defined as the electric potential between two points. In the circuit, battery provides the potential difference so that the electron can flow in the conductor easily. The negative terminal of the battery is at lower potential and the positive terminal of the battery is at higher potential.

The electron moves from lower potential to higher potential but the direction of the current is opposite to the direction of the electron.

A positive charge is moved from a higher potential to a lower potential but the negative charge moves from a lower potential to a lower potential.

In the given problem, a positive charge is moving from rest under the influence of an electric potential. Therefore, the correct option is (a).

What part of the electromagnetic spectrum can be seen by humans

Amanda [17]

Answer:

Visible light

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is the classification of the electromagnetic waves according to their frequency/wavelength. In order from the shortest to the longest wavelength, we have

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves

All these waves are invisible to human eye, except for the part referred as 'visible light'. The electromagnetic waves of this part of the spectrum are visible to human eye, and they appear as a different color depending on their wavelength. In particular, we have:

Violet: 380-450 nm

Blue: 450-495 nm

Green: 495-570 nm

Yellow: 570-590 nm

Orange: 590-620 nm

Red: 620-750 nm

In 2-3 complete sentences, explain why the needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north.

Alex17521 [72]

The needle on a compass always points in the direction of magnetic north because of the magnetic poles of earth. the compass is essentially a magnet itself, so the southern pole of the compass is attracted to the northern pole of earth.

Which statement describes the relationship between energy and entropy in the universe?

rusak2 [61]

In fact, entropy of an isolated system never decreases (2nd law of thermodynamics), unless some external energy is provided in order to "restore" order in the system and decrease its entropy.

(note that when external energy is added to the system, it is no longer "isolated").

*This is only true if the question is referring to a certain system within the universe. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, then this option is no longer correct, because no external energy can be provided to the universe, and since the universe is an isolated system, its entropy can never decrease. If we are considering the universe itself as the system, none of the options is true.
