Answer:
The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.
Explanation:
When a charged particle is immersed in an electric field, it experiences a force given by
where
q is the charge of the particle
E is the electric field
The direction of the force depends on the sign of the charge. In particular:
- The force and the electric field have the same direction if the charge is positive
- The force and the electric field have opposite directions if the charge is negative
Therefore, an electron (negative charge) moves in the direction opposite to the electric field lines.
However, electric field lines go from points at higher potential to points at lower potential: so, electrons move from regions at lower potential to regions of higher potential.
Therefore, the correct answer is
The electron tends to go to the region of 4. higher electric potential.
Answer:
The buoyant force experienced by a body is equal to product of unit weight of liguid in which the the objevt is immersed and the volume of liquid replaced by the object.
In the given scenario, bothe the spheres have equal volume and are fully submerged in water. Therefore, the buoyant force experienced by both the spheres will be equal.
Answer:
2.72 Kilometers
Explanation:
8 × 340 m/s = 2720 m = 2.72 Kilometers
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Since the original count rate is 600 Bq,
i) after 1 half life, the count rate decreases to 1/2 of 600 Bq = 300 Bq
ii) after 2 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/4 of 600 = 150 Bq
iii) after 3 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/6 of 600 = 100 Bq
iv) after 4 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/8 of 600 = 75 Bq
Answer:
Some work input is lost to friction
Explanation:
The efficiency of a machine is defined as:
(1)
where
is the work output
is the work input
Due to the law of conservation of energy, the work output can never be larger than the work input (because energy cannot be created). Moreover, in real machines part of the work input is lost due to the presence of frictions: as a result, part of the energy in input is converted into thermal energy or other forms of energy, and so the work output is smaller than the work input, and so the ratio (1) becomes less than 1, and so the efficiency is less than 100%.
