Answer:

Beta particle

Explanation:

If an alpha particle and a beta particle have the same energy, beta particle will penetrate farther into an object than alpha particle because;

1. In air, beta particles can travel a few hundred times farther than alpha particles.

2. Beta particles have more penetrating power than alpha particles.

3. Alpha particle can be absorbed or stopped by an inch or less 1-2 centimeters of air or a thin piece of tissue while beta particles can be stopped or absorbed by a thin layer of Aluminium.

4. Alpha particles loose all of their energies in a small volume easily that beta particles.

5. Beta particles can traveled a longer distance between 2-3 meters at a speed nearly equal to that of light than alpha particles which travel a distance between 2-4 cm at a speed approximately five percent the speed of light.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Same magnitude of the 10 nc charge cause the electric field is external.

Explanation:

To do a better explanation, let's go and suppose we have an electric field of, 1300 N/C with a 10 nC charge.

As the system we are talking about is really big, and the charge is small, we can assume always if the charge is sitting right in the same point where the electric field is, then, the electric field would not suffer any kind of alteration in it's value. Therefore, no matter what value of the charge is sitting here, the electric field is independent of the charge, so it would not feel any alteration. However, the force that the charge is feeling would be stronger than in the first case.

F = qE

If charge is doubled, then the force would be bigger in the second case than in the first case, but electric field remain the same value.
