"A positively-charged particle is held at point A between two parallel metal plates. The plate on the left has a net positive ch

arge q and the plate on the right has a net negative charge -q. The particle is then moved to point B. How does the electric potential energy at point A compare with that at point B?

Answer:

Explanation

A positively charged particle produces a positive electric potential while a negatively

charged particle produces a negative electric potential.

Given two parallel plates one is positive and the other is negative and a positively charge particle is place at point A.

The electric potential V at point P is the algebraic sum of the electric potentials contributed by the two parallel plates charges

V=Kq1/r+ Kq2/r

Since q1 is positive and q2 is negative and they have the same magnitude q.

Then, at position A,

Let assume the total distance between the parallel plate is x

Then, the positive plate should be at distance 'a' from, the other is at x-a.

V= Kq/a-kq/(x-a)

V=kq(1/a-1/(x-a))

V=kq(x-a-a/a(x-a))

V=kq(x-2a)/(ax-a^2)

Then, at position B

Let assume the total distance between the parallel plate is x

Then, the positive plate should be at distance 'b' from, the other is at x-b.

V= Kq/b-kq/(x-b)

V=kq(1/b-1/(x-b))

V=kq(x-b-b/b(x-b))

V=kq(x-2b)/(bx-b^2)

Close to the positive plate, the

potential has very large positive values. Close to the negative charge, the potential has very large negative values.

They have different potential.

Is light fastest than speed and why.
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

There is no limit to how fast the universe can expand, says physicist Charles Bennett of Johns Hopkins University. Einstein's theory that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum still holds true, because space itself is stretching, and space is nothing.

Electricity that comes into our homes from the grid is known as:
il63 [147K]
Power grid
All the poles and wires you see along the highway and in front of your house are called the electrical transmission and distribution system. Today, generating stations all across the country are connected to each other through the electrical system (sometimes called the "power grid").

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling at
Maru [420]
Well you of course have different kinetic energies with the two speeds.
Kinetic energy = (1/2)*mass*velocity^2
The vehicle's mass is the same in both cases, so we can ignore that as well as 1/2 since it's a constant.
So we have (30)^2 vs (60^2)
which is 900 vs 3600
So having 60 mph compared to 30 mph is 4 times the kinetic energy.

The percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that air can contain at a particular temp
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Relative humidity %

Explanation:

  • The relative humidity is the percentage of the water vapor content at a particular temperature and pressure to the maximum amount of water vapor content the air can hold at those conditions.
  • When the relative humidity of the air becomes 100% then there occurs precipitation on the earth from the atmosphere (specifically troposphere, which accounts for the weather changes).
  • We might have experienced excessive sweating even on a relatively less hotter day of a summer which is on account of increased relative humidity.
