A certain electron travels within a conductor. The path of electron for a short time interval is shown below. Which of these best represents the path the electron would have travelled if it was experiencing an additional constant force towards left? The dotted line shows the path.

Correct answer: D. C

  • A. A
  • B. B
  • C. D
  • D. C

Explanation

The correct path is shown in this diagram. In the presence of an electric field inside the conductor, free electrons are accelerated. The given option is correct.

About Scientific Reasoning

Scientific reasoning evaluates hypotheses through observations, variables, controls, measurements and experimental results. Questions involve identifying independent and dependent variables, recognising a fair test, interpreting tables or graphs, distinguishing evidence from opinion, and deciding whether data supports, rejects or leaves a hypothesis unresolved.

The atmosphere is made up of 4 distinct layers: the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. Different types of clouds form in the different layers depending on the pressure in the atmosphere and the ambient temperature. The cloud types include nimbus, stratus, cumulus, and cirrus. Figure 1 shows the location of the barriers of the atmosphere when the temperature and pressure are at an ideal condition for cloud formation. It also shows the different types of clouds formed at the different levels. (Note: Clouds are formed mostly of water crystals, but can also contain particles of rock and dust.)If a pressure of 7 psi were sustained within the atmosphere, according to the image, which of the following types of clouds would likely form?

Alcohols are carbon compounds containing a hydroxyl (OH) group. Alkenes are carbon compounds containing at least 1 carbon-carbon double bond (C=C).Dehydration (removal of H2O) of Alcohol W in the presence of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) produces H2O and a mixture of 4 alkenes (Alkenes 1-4) that each contain only 1 C=C bond:Dehydration of each of 3 other alcohols (Alcohols X, Y, and Z) produces H2O and 2 or more of Alkenes 1-4.
