Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Sun rotates in the counterclockwise (CCW) direction when seen from its north pole. Since, the planets revolve around the Sun because of its gravity, the revolution of all the planets and their moons as seen from the north of the Sun is in CCW direction.

In fact most of the solar system bodies rotate in the same direction that is CCW. Some major exceptions to this are Venus and Uranus.

Almost all the planets and moons were made from the planetary disk around the Sun. Thus, they lie nearly in the same plane.

An electron is moving directly toward you in a horizontal path when it suddenly enters a uniform magnetic field that is either v

blagie [28]

Answer:

To your left

Explanation:

The direction of the force exerted on charged particle due to a magnetic field is given by the right-hand-rule, where:

- The index finger indicates the direction of motion of the electron

- the middle finger gives the direction of the magnetic field

- the thumb gives the direction of the force if the particle is positively charged - otherwise, the direction is reversed

in this case, we have an electron (so, a negatively charged particle):

- The direction of motion (index finger) is horizontal, toward you

- The electron begins to curve upward as it enters the field, so this means that the force exerted on the electrons is upward --> the thumb must point downward (because the electron is negatively charged)

- The index finger gives us the direction of the magnetic field: therefore, to your left.

What is the current in a circuit with a 4.5 V battery and a 9 Ω resistor?

horsena [70]

Answer:

V=I×R

4.5 = I×9

 I. = 4.5/9

 I. = 0.5 A

current is 0.5 A
