Answer:Dark minerals rich in iron and magnesium separate from light minerals rich in silica and aluminum.

Explanation: Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed as a result of the transformation of other existing rocks which can be Igneous or Sedimentary rocks,this transformation process is called METAMORPHISM. During metamorphism,rocks under Serious levels of stress which can lead to the separation of materials.

During this separation process,Dark minerals rich in iron and magnesium are separated from light minerals rich in silica and aluminum.

two-point charges are 10.0 cm apart and have charges of 2.0 uc and -2.0uc respectively What is the magnitude of the electrical f

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Electric field due to two charges is given as

$E = 1.44 \times 10^7 N/C$

Explanation:

As we know that two charges are opposite in nature

So the electric field at the mid point of two charges will add together

so the net field is given as

$E = 2\frac{kq}{r^2}$

now we have

$q = 2\times 10^{-6} C$

$r = 5 cm = 0.05 m$

now we have

$E = 2\frac{(9\times 10^9)(2\times 10^{-6})}{0.05^2}$

$E = 1.44 \times 10^7 N/C$
