8 0

Explanation:

Insulator: An object that does not conduct the electricity. Its conductivity is very low. It is also known as the poor conductor of electricity.  For example, wood, rubber etc.

Conductor: An object that conducts the electricity. Its conductivity is very high. It is also known as the good conductor of electricity. For example, aluminium, copper etc.

Semiconductor: An object that's conductivity lies between the insulator and conductor. Its conductivity is moderate. For example, silicon and germanium.

Svetlanka [38]

Answer;

  • Transverse wave
  • Longitudinal wave
  • Electromagnetic wave

The standard wave format for any wave is transverse wave. When depicting longitudinal wave in standard wave format, the direction of motion must be rotated by 90 degrees. Only one of two waves is shown at a time when placing electromagnetic wave in standard wave format.

Explanation;

Transverse wave is a wave in which the vibration of particles is perpendicular with the direction of the wave motion. Longitudinal wave on the other hand are waves in which the vibration of particles is parallel to the direction of the wave motion.

Electromagnetic waves are wave which do not require a material medium for transmission, they include, radio waves, microwaves, UV light, etc. Most electromagnetic waves are transverse in nature.

The potential energy at x = 8 m is -2000 V and at x = 2 m is 400 V. What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field?
Stells [14]

The potential energy at x = 8 m is -2000 V and at x = 2 m is 400 V. The magnitude and direction of the electric field will be 400 V/m directed parallel to the +x-axis

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

The electric potential energy of any given charge or system of changes is termed as the total work done by an external agent in bringing the charge or the system of charges from infinity to the present configuration without undergoing any acceleration.

The relation between electric field and electric potential can be generally expressed as – “Electric field is the negative space derivative of electric potential.”

Electric field = - d V / dx

-(-2000-400) = \int\ {E} \, dx

2400 = E (8-2)

2400 V = E (6)

E = 400 V/m
