<h2>Electrostatic Potential Decreases</h2>

Explanation:

  • If the spacing between two closely spaced oppositely charged parallel plates is decreased the electrostatic potential difference between the plates will decrease.
  • An electrostatic potential that is also referred to as the electric field potential or potential drop is the amount of work required to replace a unit of charge from a reference point to a specific point inside the electric field without any change in acceleration.  
  • Therefore, if the distance will decrease between oppositely charged plates there will be more affinity to attract which will reduce the amount of work done thus decreasing the electric potential

∴  The Correct option is (b)

tester [92]

Answer:

mj = 53.3kg

Explanation:

Since both gravitational energies are the same:

Eb = Ej   =>   mb*g*hb = mj*g*hj

Solving for mj:

mj = mb*hb/hj = 80*2.4/3.6

mj = 53.3kg

You are in a car going 70 km/h and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 km/h. Do both cars have the same
telo118 [61]
No, both the cars do not have the same velocity.

Velocity is a vector quantity and it is the rate of change of displacement with time or change in speed with direction.

Velocity has both magnitude and direction. So when you are in a car going 70 km/h and another car goes in the opposite direction at 70 km/h their velocities are different. 

How?

Consider your car as moving in the positive direction, so its velocity will be 70 km/h and for the car moving in the opposite direction, since the direction is opposite, the velocity of that car will be -70 km/h. This is because, the velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. For one car, the direction is positive and for the other one the direction is negative.
