A. What is an electric field line?

Physics
1 answer:
Lorico [155]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory

Explanation:

a)

  • A electric field line is an imaginary line, which has the property that the electric field vector is tangent to it at any point. It starts from positive charges (since the electric field by convention it has the direction of the trajectory that would take a positive test charge, so it always goes away from positive charges) and ends in negative charges.

b)

  • Since the potential difference between two points represents the work per unit charge needed for a charge to move between these points, a equipotential surface is the one over which it is not needed to do work to move a charge from any point on the surface to any other point, which means that all points are at the same potential.

c)

  • Equipotential surfaces are not necessarily physical surfaces, they can be defined in vaccum for instance.
  • As an example, any spherical surface concentric with a point charge, is an equipotential surface, and  it can be a real surface or a fictitious one.

The wavelength of green light is about the size of an atom. (T/F)
Snowcat [4.5K]

Explanation:

The wavelength of green light is about 500 nanometers, or two thousandths of a millimeter. The typical wavelength of a microwave oven is about 12 centimeters, which is larger than a baseball.

Why is it so good for scientists to be skeptical
IceJOKER [234]
Its good for a scientist to be skeptical because they dont willingly accept new ideas without thoroughly going over the research themselves and attempting to disprove a theory. skeptical scientists often reveal new information through doing their own examinations of a concept, which is why they are valuable scientists

Imagine an alternate universe where the value of the Planck constant is . In that universe, which of the following objects would
HACTEHA [7]

Question: The planck constant was not given. In this calculation, planck constant of 6.62607*10^-9 Js  is used for the calculation.

Answer:

(a) A virus -------------Classical

(b) A buckyball -----Classical

(c) A mosquito ------ Quantum

(d) A turtle  ------------Quantum

Explanation:

 Calculating the wavelength using the formula;

λ= h/(mv)

where

λ= Wavelength

h = Planck Constant = 6.62607*10^-9 Js

m = mass in kg

v = velocity in m/s

Virus size = 280. nm = 2.80*10⁻⁷ m

a)

A Virus:

m = 9.4 x 10-17 g 9.4*10⁻²⁰ kg

v = 0.50 µm/s = 5 *10⁻⁷ m/s

h = 6.62607*10^-9 Js

Virus size = 280 nm = 2.80*10⁻⁷ m

Substituting into the formula; we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (9.4*10⁻²⁰* 5 *10⁻⁷)

  = 6.62607*10^-9/4.7*10^-26

  = 1.4*10^17 m

Classical : Wavelength is bigger than it's size

(b)

A buckyball

m = 1.2 x 10-21 g = 1.2 *10⁻²⁴ kg

V = 37 m/s

Size = 0.7 nm = 7*10⁻¹⁰ m

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ ( 1.2 *10⁻²⁴* 37)

  =  6.62607*10^-9/4.44*10^-23

  = 1.49 *10^14 m

Classical : Wavelength is bigger than it's size

(c)

A mosquito

Mass = 1.0 mg = 1*10⁻⁶ kg

v = 1.1 m/s

Size =  6.3 mm = 6.3*10⁻³ m

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (  1*10⁻⁶* 1.1)

  =  6.62607*10^-9/1.1*10^-6

  = 6.02*10^-3 m

Quantum Approach: The wavelength and the size are comparable

(d)

A turtle

Mass = 710. g = 0.71 kg

Size =  22. cm = 0.22 m

V =  2.8 cm/s. = 0.028 m/s

Substituting into the formula, we have

λ= h/(mv)

λ= 6.62607*10^-9/ (  0.71* 0.028)

  = 6.62607*10^-9/0.01988

   = 3.33*10^-7 m

Quantum Approach: The wavelength and the size are comparable
