Electric potential on one side of the closed circuit is applied and this causes the electrons to move to a position of lower potential. Imagine this as when you raise an object above the ground and release it. It moves from its higher potential energy position above the ground to its lower potential energy position.

Explanation:

When the potential difference is provided to the conductor then the electrons start moving in the conductor. The electrons move from lower potential to the higher potential.

The rate of flow electrons constitutes the electric current. The direction of the electric current is opposite to the direction of the electrons.

For example, suppose the battery is connected to the circuit. It forces the electrons to flow in the conductor. The battery provides potential to the electrons so that the electrons can flow in the circuit. There are two terminals in the battery: Positive terminal and Negative terminal. Positive terminal is at higher potential. Negative terminal is at lower potential.

In this way, electrons flow in the circuit and constitute the electric current flow in the circuit.

Describe how charge is transferred from the ruler to the metal rod.
spin [16.1K]
When the ruler is broughı near the inetal knob, it repels electrons in the metal. Electrons move away froni the ruler and down the metal rod. The knob now has a positive charge. The thin pieces of metal foil at the bottom of the metal rod now have a negative charge.

Physical Science Lesson 4 unit 2 questions, I need the answers
neonofarm [45]
I know I'm a bit late but just in case you still need some of the answers.

1: Oxygen
2: Change in shape
3: Water breaking down into hydrogen and oxygen
4: I think it's Milk but I might be wrong.

I might be wrong about some of them, sorry it's not much.

Cindy saw her mother heating a wet pan on the stove. As the pan got hotter, the water on the outside began to dry. Why?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

As the temperature of materials increase, the objects find a phenomenon called change of phase.

This means that if you give enough heat to a liquid, this can change of state from liquid state to gas state (the water evaporates)

So the water in the pan reaches the evaporation temperature (around 100°C) and it starts to evaporate, this is why the water on the outside begins to "dry"

The radii of the sprocket assemblies and the wheel of the bicycle in the figure are:
Furkat [3]
To solve this task we have to make a proportion, but firstly we have to set up all the main points : so, the distance is  s=r(B), that has its <span>r=radius,B=angle in rad velocity v=ds/dt= w(r)
Do not forget about </span> w = angular speed in rad/s and w1 = 1 revolution/sec = 2Pi (rad/s)
Now we can go to proportion
v1=v2
w1*r1 = w2r2w2 = w1 * r1/r2 = 2w1 = 4Pi (rad/s)
w2 = w3 (which is the   angular velocity of the rear wheel) &#10;
SOLVING FOR A : v3 = w3 * r3 = 4pi * 14 (inch/s) = 14.66 ft/sec
v3 = 14.66 ft/sec(1 mile/5280 ft)( 3600 sec/h)= 9.99 or something about <span>10 mph --- SOLVING FOR B.
</span>I'm sure it helps!
