<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. Waves transfer energy, but not matter.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>A wave is a transmission of a disturbance from one point to another. Wave involves transmission of energy from one point to another through a materials medium.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Waves may require or may nor require a material medium for transmission. </u></em>Those wave that do not require material medium for transmission are electromagnetic waves while those that require material medium are called mechanical waves.
  • <em><u>Mechanical waves</u></em> transfers energy through the vibration of particles of the medium through which the wave travels, while<em><u> electromagnetic waves t</u></em>ransfer energy through the vibration of electric or magnetic fields.
  • <em><u>Waves transfers energy from one point to another without moving matter.</u></em>

tatuchka [14]

Explanation :

It is given that, q and 4q are placed at a distance of l.

Let x is the distance where third charge is placed so that the entire three charge system is in static equilibrium.

Equilibrium means the net force acting on the system of charges is equal to zero. Let Q is the third charge.

So, \dfrac{kqQ}{x^2}=\dfrac{k(Q)(4q)}{(l-x)^2}

On solving,

x=\dfrac{l}{3}

For magnitude :

\dfrac{kqQ}{(l/3)^2}=\dfrac{kq4q}{l^2}

using x=\dfrac{l}{3}

Q=\dfrac{4q}{9}

So, a charge of -4q/9 is at a distance of l/3 is placed. It is placed to the right of  +q.

Suppose a negative point charge is placed at x = 0 and an electron is placed at some point P on the positive x-axis. What is the
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

E along –x; F along +x

Explanation:

  • When a negative point charge is placed at x=0 and an electron is place at any point P on the positive x-axis the as we know that the like charges repel each other, but there will be no change in the natural tendency of the individual electric field lines.
  • So the direction of the electric field lines at point P due to the point charge will be towards the negative x-axis.
  • The direction of force on the electron due to the electric field of point charge at x=0 will be towards positive x-axis in accordance of the repulsion effect.
