Force on a charge placed in electric field is given by

F = qE

here q = -0.60 /mu C

E = 1.2 * 10^6 N/c

magnitude of force is given by

F = 1.2 * 10^6* 0.60 * 10^{-6}

F = 0.72 N

Direction of force is opposite to electric field direction as it is a negative charge

so direction is towards EAST

Two neutral metal spheres on wood stands are touching. A negatively charged rod is held directly above the top of the left spher
FrozenT [24]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

As we know that metals are able to conduct electricity so, when a negatively charges rod is kept closer to the left sphere then electrons will enter the sphere.

Since, like charges repel each other. Hence, some of the negative changes from the rod will repel the negative charges of left sphere.

As both left and right spheres are touching each other so, the electrons will move towards the right sphere. As a result, there will be too many electrons (negative charge) present on the right sphere and very less electrons present in the left sphere.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement right sphere is negatively charged, another is charged positively, is true.

What are two advantages of using renewable resources?
Pavel [41]
One advantage is that whatever resource it is, it will never run out and you wont have to worry about not having it. A second is that there is going to be enough for everyone to use however much they want without there having to be a limit on how much you use.
