Answer:
The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.
Explanation:
When a charged particle is immersed in an electric field, it experiences a force given by
where
q is the charge of the particle
E is the electric field
The direction of the force depends on the sign of the charge. In particular:
- The force and the electric field have the same direction if the charge is positive
- The force and the electric field have opposite directions if the charge is negative
Therefore, an electron (negative charge) moves in the direction opposite to the electric field lines.
However, electric field lines go from points at higher potential to points at lower potential: so, electrons move from regions at lower potential to regions of higher potential.
Therefore, the correct answer is
The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.
Yes, they are synonymous terms.
True. The 7 colors, also called a rainbow, are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. This rainbow is formed because the prism bends the white light and spreads it out into the colors it was made of. If there is more you were looking for, comment here.
I’ll refer to electromagnetic radiation as EMR.
Visible light is a very small subset of EMR. Many other ranges like infrared, ultraviolet, or gamma must be detected by special equipment.
EMR is what makes up light, and as we know from any high school physics class, light exhibits both particle-like properties (photoelectric effect and Compton scattering) and wave-like properties (refraction, diffraction, double-slit & single-slit experiment).
EMR can travel without a medium, like the vast emptiness of space. It can also travel with a medium. It can transmit through various materials albeit at a slower speed, like water, earth’s atmosphere, glass etc.
The propagation speed of EMR in space is 3x10^8 m/s, which is a speed unattainable by any of our current means of transportation. I would say that’s quite fast.
Objects in space follow the laws or rules of physics, just like objects on Earth do. Things in space have inertia. That is, they travel in a straight line unless there is a force that makes them stop or change. The movement of things in space is influenced by gravity.
