Will a positive charge initially at rest move toward higher or lower potential? Positive charges, starting from rest, will accelerate from regions of high potential and move toward regions of low potential. Negative charges, starting from rest, will accelerate from regions of low potential and move toward regions of high potential. Does the electric potential […]

What is a main application of antimony?
What is a main application of antimony? Antimony is used in the electronics industry to make some semiconductor devices, such as infrared detectors and diodes. Other uses of antimony alloys include type metal (in printing presses), bullets and cable sheathing. Antimony compounds are used to make flame-retardant materials, paints, enamels, glass and pottery. Are bullets […]
What is the normal boiling point of water at sea level?
Where is the thinnest sediment cover in the oceans?
Where is the thinnest sediment cover in the oceans? The thinnest layers of marine sediments are generally found in deep-ocean basins near mid-ocean ridges. However, as the ocean crusts ages and moves away from the spreading centers, time allows sediments to gradually accumulate on the seafloor. Where is sediment on the seafloor the thinnest? Sediments […]
