What are three facts about electric field lines?
1. Electric field lines of force originate from the positive charge and terminate at the negative charge. 2. Electric field lines of force can never intersect each other. 3. Electric field lines of force are not present inside the conductor, it is because electric field inside the conductor is always zero. 4. Electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of conductor. 5. Curved electric field lines are always non-uniform in nature.
Is the reaction force on a surface always perpendicular to the surface?
yes i presume
Why the electric field just outside the conductor is perpendicular on its' surface?
If it isn't perpendicular, the charges would be redistributed because there would be force component tangential to the surface. In other words, the charges would move to a new equilibrium position, in which the electric field IS perpendicular to the surface.If it isn't perpendicular, the charges would be redistributed because there would be force component tangential to the surface.

How is fluid pressure directed?
i anit sure sorry but i would like to know the same thing
What force is always perpendicular to motion?
The force associated with Torque T is always perpendicular to the torque motion, T=FxR.

The force that is always perpendicular to a surface and usually opposite gravity is which force?
that's the "normal force"
What diagonals are always perpendicular?
The diagonals of a square are always perpendicular.
What quadrilateral always has perpendicular sides?
A rectangle always has perpendicular sides.
Are the diagonals of a rhombus sometimes perpendicular?
A rhombus has 4 equal sides and the diagonals are always perpendicular
Will light always bend when it changes medium?
Not always. It won't bend if it enters the new medium perpendicular to the surface that separates them, and it won't bend when the refractive indices of the two media are equal.
Does a kite have a perpendicular?
In a kite geometric shape, the diagonals are always perpendicular.
Can a triangle have 2 perpendicular sides always?
Not always.
Are the diagonals of a rectangle sometimes always or never perpendicular?
The diagonals of a rectangle are never perpendicular but the diagonals of a square are perpendicular
Do perpendicular lines have to make a right angle?
Yes they always do! They are not Perpendicular if they don't.
