Why electric flux is zero in a closed surface?

Why electric flux is zero in a closed surface? If there is no net charge within a closed surface, every field line directed into the surface continues through the interior and is directed outward elsewhere on the surface. The negative flux just equals in magnitude the positive flux, so that the net, or total, electric […]

Why is potential energy negative in an atom?

Why is potential energy negative in an atom? When a stable atom is formed, the electron is attracted to the nucleus, r is less than infinity, and the energy will be negative. A negative value for the energy implies that energy must be supplied to the system if the electron is to overcome the attractive […]

What type of energy do we use everyday?

What type of energy do we use everyday? The common forms of energy used in our houses are electrical energy, chemical energy available from fuels, food and energy originating from the sun. Electrical energy is transformed into many forms – mechanical/kinetic, sound, heat, light, and other forms of electromagnetic radiation – by everyday appliances. How […]

How does vanadium get into the body?

How does vanadium get into the body? Vanadium can enter the body via the lungs or, more commonly, the stomach. Most of the dietary vanadium is excreted. The amount of vanadium resorbed in the gastrointestinal tract is a function of its oxidation state (V(V) or V(IV)) and the coordination environment. How do we use vanadium […]

Why does my foot hurt when I kick a soccer ball?

Why does my foot hurt when I kick a soccer ball? There are a number of reasons which have been mentioned (e.g. air temperature affecting ball stiffness, kicking technique, possible injury). Another reason may be that your anatomy hasn’t developed to sustain kicking a ball. Think about how kickboxers can block with their shins. How […]
