<u>MOMENTUM IS CONSERVED</u>  (law of Nature)

That means that momentum can move from one object to another object, but it's never created or destroyed.  The amount of momentum AFTER something is the same as it was BEFORE.

<u></u>

<u>Before:</u>

(ball momentum = 12), (pin momentum = 0)

Ball + Pin = 12 unts

<u></u>

<u>After:</u>

Momentum is conserved.

Ball + Pin still has to be 12 units

Ball = 8 units

So Pin has to be the other <em>4 units</em>.

Which of the following statements about electric field lines associated with electric charges is false? Electric field lines can
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The false statement is 'Electric field lines form closed loops'.

Explanation:

  • Electric field lines originate from positive end and terminates at negative end,i.e., field lines are inward in direction to the negative charges and outward from the positive charges.
  • These lines when close together represents high intensity and when far apart shows low intensity of the field.
  • These lines do not intersect, as the tangent drawn on these lines provides us with the field direction and intersection of these lines means two field directions which is not possible.
  • These lines unlike magnetic field lines do not form closed loops as they do not turn around but originate at positive end and terminates at negative end which ensures no loop formation.
