When a potassium atom forms an ion, it loses one electron. What is the electrical charge of the potassium ion? *

2 answers:

5 0

+1 An electron has a negative charge so losing a charge of -1 from an uncharged, or neutral, atom will leave an ion with a positive charge.

Answer:

The correct answer is answer choice D. +1

Explanation:

Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.

How to calculate kinetic energy given mass and velocity

sashaice [31]

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

A straight, cylindrical wire lying along the x axis has a length L and a diameter d . It is made of a material described by Ohm'

Zepler [3.9K]

The magnitude and direction of the electric field in the wire are mathematically given as

$L &=[(v / L) v / m] \hat{i}$

<h3>What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field in the wire?</h3>

Generally, the equation for is mathematically given as

A cylindrical wire that is straight and parallel to the x-axis has the following dimensions: length L, diameter d, resistivity p, diameter d, potential v, and z length. combining elements from both sides

E d $x=\int d v.$

$\begin{aligned}&-E \int_0^L d x=\int_v^0 d v \\\therefore E \cdot L &=v \\L &=[(v / L) v / m] \hat{i}\end{aligned}$

In conclusion, the magnitude and direction of the electric field in the wire are given as

$L &=[(v / L) v / m]$
