Explanation:

If a positive test charge is placed in an electric field, it will exert the force in the test charge in the direction of electric field vector. We know that the direction of electric field is given by electric field lines. The field lines for a positive charge is outwards. The electric force acting on the charge is given by :

F = q E

Hence, this is the required solution.

Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

Which color is in the middle of the light spectrum?
Elanso [62]
Well, with the light spectrum there technically is no middle color. Both green and yellow meet up in the middle at 560 nm (wavelength interval) and 540 THz (frequency interval).

arlik [135]

Answer:

14.36m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = v(m1 + m2)

68×17 + 76×12= v(68+76)

1156+912 = 144v

2068 = 144v

v = 2068/144

=14.36 m/s
