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.

You prepare tea with 0.250 kg of water at 85.0 ºC and let it cool down to room temperature (20.0 ºC) before drinking it. Essenti
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

232 J/K

Explanation:

The amount of heat gained by the air = the amount of heat lost by the tea.

q_air = -q_tea

q = -mCΔT

q = -(0.250 kg) (4184 J/kg/ºC) (20.0ºC − 85.0ºC)

q = 68,000 J

The change in entropy is:

dS = dQ/T

Since the room temperature is constant (isothermal):

ΔS = ΔQ/T

Plug in values (remember to use absolute temperature):

ΔS = (68,000 J) / (293 K)

ΔS = 232 J/K

The gravitational force between two objects is f. If masses of both objects are halved without changing distance between them, t
Marrrta [24]

The gravitation force is quartered when two objects' masses are halved without changing their distance.

Gravitational law states that the force of attraction and repulsion between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

F=(KM1 M2)/r^2

K= Gravitation force constant

M1M2 = masses of the object

r = distance between objects

When M1 and M2 are halved, it becomes M1/2 and M2/2

F=(K M1/2 x M2/2)/r^2

F=(K (M1 x M2)/4)/r^2

F=(KM1 x M2)/(4r^2 )

Recall

F=(KM1 x M2)/r^2

Therefore

F=F/4
