If she has a choice and the wiring details are stated on the packaging,
then Janelle should look for lights that are wired in parallel within the
string, and she should avoid lights that are wired in series within the string.
If a single light in a parallel string fails, then only that one goes out.
The rest of the lights in the string continue to shimmer and glimmer.
If a single light in a series string fails, then ALL of the lights in that string
go out, and it's a substantial engineering challenge to determine which light
actually failed.
(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.
(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.
<h3>
Magnitude of electric field </h3>
The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.
F = qE
But F = mg
mg = qE
E = mg/q
where;
- E is the electric field
- m is mass of the particle
- g is acceleration due to gravity
- q is charge of the particle
<h3>For an electron</h3>
E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)
E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C
<h3>For proton</h3>
E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)
E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C
Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.

Answer:
2) zero acceleration
Explanation:
Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.
This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.
Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.
In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.
Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.
In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.
