Answer: DC flows in one direction, and AC repeatedly switches direction

Explanation:

DC stands for direct current.

AC stands for alternating current.

When current flows only in single direction, it is known as direct current. When current changes direction i.e. it alternates direction, it is known as alternating current.

There are both AC generators and DC generators.

AC generators supply power to home appliances and small motors. DC generators are used to power large electric motors.

A proton and an alpha particle (q = +2e, m = 4 u) are fired directly toward each other from far away, each with an initial speed

stich3 [128]

Answer:

Distance of closest approach, $r=1.91\times 10^{-14}\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge on proton, $q_p=e$

Charge on alpha particle, $q_a=2e$

Mass of proton, $m_p=1.67\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

Mass of alpha particle, $m_a=4m_p=6.68\times 10^{-27}\ kg$

The distance of closest approach for two charged particle is given by :

$r=\dfrac{k2e^2(m_p+m_a)}{2m_am_pv_p^2}$

$r=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 2(1.6\times 10^{-19})^2(1.67\times 10^{-27}+6.68\times 10^{-27})}{2\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times 1.67\times 10^{-27}(0.01\times 3\times 10^8)^2}$

$r=1.91\times 10^{-14}\ m$

So, their distance of closest approach, as measured between their centers $1.91\times 10^{-14}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is

igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

On the incomplete ray diagram for an object in front of a curved mirror, trace the path of Ray 1 as you would do to find the loc

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

See attached the ray diagram with the path of Ray 1, which must pass through the focal point, F.

Explanation:

The curved mirror shown is a converging lens.

To find the location and size of the image formed by a converging lens, you must draw two rays: one ray is from the upper tip of the object (the pen in your figure) that is in front of the mirror, parallel to the horizontal axis until the lens (Ray 1 in your figure) which then bends through the focal point (F in your figure). That is the ray that you must complete in your figure.

The attached figure shows this ray in blue.

The other ray would be from the upper tip of the pen straight through the center of the lens (this is not included in the figure, by instructions of the question).
