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.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

 13.4 x 10 raise to power -19  C

Explanation:

. The distance moved by a charge in the direction of a uniform electric field is d= 1.8 cm =0.018 m

. The uniform electric field is  E = 214 N/M

, The decrease in electrical potential energy is   d(P.E) = 51.63 x 10 raise to power -19 J

Let the magnitude of the charge of the moving particle be q

which is given by the equation

d(P.E) =qEd

51.63 x 10 power -19 = q(214)(0.018)

51.63 x 10 power -19 =3.852q

by making q the formular,

q = 13.4 x 10 power -19 C

Two simple pendulum of slightly different length , are set off oscillating in step is a time of 20s has elasped , during which t
adell [148]

Answer:

Length of longer pendulum = 99.3 cm

Length of shorter pendulum = 82.2 cm

Explanation:

Since the longer pendulum undergoes 10 oscillations in 20 s, its period T = 20 s/10 = 2 s.

From T = 2π√(l/g), the length of the pendulum. l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 2s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (2 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 39.2 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.993 m

= 99.3 cm

Now, for the shorter pendulum to be in step with the longer pendulum, it must have completed some oscillations more than the longer pendulum. Let x be the number of oscillations more in t = 20 s. Let n₁ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum and n₂ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum.

So, n₂ = n₁ + x. Also n₁ = t/T₁ and n₂ = t/T₂ where T₂ = period of shorter pendulum.

t/T₂ = t/T₁ + x

1/T₂ = 1/T₁ + x  (1)

Also, the T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)  (2)

From (1) T₂ = T₁/(T₁ + x) (3)

equating (2) and (3) we have

t/(n₁ + x) = T₁/(T₁ + x)

substituting t = 20 s and n₁ = 10 and T₁ = 2s, we have

20 s/(10 + x) = 2/(2 + x)

10/(10 + x) = 1/(2 + x)

(10 + x)/10 = (2 + x)

(10 + x) = 10(2 + x)

10 + x = 20 + 10x

collecting like terms

10x - x = 20 - 10

9x = 10

x = 10/9

x = 1.11

x ≅ 1 oscillation

substituting x into (2)

T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)

= 20/(10 + 1)

= 20/11

= 1.82 s

Since length l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 1.82 s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (1.82 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 32.46 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.822 m

= 82.2 cm

Un móvil se encuentra en la posición inicial x0 = 22 m, y se mueve con velocidad 5 m/s. Calcula la posición en la que se encuent
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

La posición en la que se encuentra el móvil en el instante t = 30 s es 172 m.

Explanation:

El movimiento rectilíneo uniforme (MRU) es el movimiento que describe un cuerpo o partícula a través de una línea recta a velocidad constante.

La distancia recorrida,  x , por un móvil que tiene un MRU con un velocidad  v  durante el intervalo de tiempo  t  es:

x= x0 + v*t

donde x0 es la posición inicial.

En este caso:

  • x0= 22 m
  • v= 5 m/s
  • t= 30 s

Reemplazando:

x= 22 m + 5 m/s* 30 s

Resolviendo:

x= 22 m + 150 m

x= 172 m

<u><em>La posición en la que se encuentra el móvil en el instante t = 30 s es 172 m.</em></u>

Two loudspeakers are 1.60 m apart. A person stands 3.00 m from one speaker and 3.50 m from the other. (a) What is the lowest fre
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Distance between two loud speakers d=1.6\ m

Distance of person from one speaker x_1=3\ m

Distance of person from second speaker x_2=3.5\ m

Path difference between the waves is given by

x_2-x_1=(2m+1)\cdot \frac{\lambda }{2}

for destructive interference m=0 I.e.

x_2-x_1=\frac{\lambda }{2}

3.5-3=\frac{\lambda }{2}

\lambda =0.5\times 2

\lambda =1\ m

frequency is given by

f=\frac{v}{\lambda }

where v=velocity\ of\ sound\ (v=343\ m/s)

f=\frac{343}{1}=343\ Hz

For next frequency which will cause destructive interference is

i.e. m=1 and m=2

3.5-3=\frac{2\cdot 1+1}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{3}\ m

frequency corresponding to this is

f_2=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{3}}=1029\ Hz

for m=2

3.5-3=\frac{5}{2}\cdot \lambda

\lambda =\frac{1}{5}\ m

Frequency corresponding to this wavelength

f_3=\frac{343}{\frac{1}{5}}

f_3=1715\ Hz
