Charge flows from low potential to high potential. O True or O False

Physics
1 answer:
inn [45]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Think of the electric potential in terms of potential energy. If you imagine a place with high elevation (A) and another one at sea level (B), a ball will roll from high potential to low potential (A-->B).

Everything in our universe wants to reach a lower state of energy if no external force is acted upon it. Every object tends to slow down (friction), a radioactive element dissipates energy (an unstable element releases energy to get to a stable state), water in the clouds comes down to the ground (rain experiencing difference in potential energy).

Electric potential is exactly the same, you just can't see it! It flows from higher voltage (which is a synonym for electric potential) to lower voltage.

Calculate the magnitude and direction of the electric field 2.0 m from a long wire that is charged uniformly at λ = 4.0 × 10-6 C
Len [333]

Answer: 71.93 *10^3 N/C

Explanation: In order to calculate the electric field from long wire we have to use the Gaussian law, this is:

∫E*dr=Q inside/εo  Q inside is given by: λ*L then,

E*2*π*r*L=λ*L/εo

E= λ/(2*π*εo*r)= 4* 10^-6/(2*3.1415*8.85*10^-12*2 )= 71.93 * 10^3 N/C

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you. How much time does it take the light to travel that distance?
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

t=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

Lightning flashes one mile (1609 m) away from you.

We need to find the time it take the light to travel that distance. Let the time be t. We know that,

speed = distance/time

t=\dfrac{d}{v}\\\\t=\dfrac{1609}{3\cdot10^{8}}\\\\=5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

So, the required time is 5.36\times 10^{-6}\ s

When a 3.0 kg mass is hung from a vertical massless spring, the spring is stretched 40 cm. What is the spring constant of the sp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

0.74 N/cm

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Spring constant (K) =?

Next, we shall determine the force exerted on the spring.

This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 3 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = mg

F = 3 × 9.8

F = 29.4 N

Finally, we shall determine the spring constant of the spring. This can be obtained as follow:

Extention (e) = 40 cm

Force (F) = 29.4 N

Spring constant (K) =?

F = Ke

29.4 = K × 40

Divide both side by 40

K = 29.4 / 40

K = 0.74 N/cm

Therefore, the spring constant of the spring is 0.74 N/cm
