The answer simply depends on the environment that the electron is in. If the electron is in orbit around the nucleus of an atom then there will be a strong electromagnetic force acting on the electron towards the nucleus.

Does an isolated system have net force acting on it?

Even if it does the net force acting on it should be zero. That's why it's called isolated.


What will be the force acting on the electron due to magnetic field of the solenoid when an electron is moving with a velocity V along the axis of a long straight solenoid carrying a current I?

When an electron moves along the axis of a long straight solenoid carrying a current I, the magnetic field inside the solenoid is uniform and directed along the axis. According to the Lorentz force law, the force acting on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is given by ( F = q(\mathbf{V} \times \mathbf{B}) ), where ( \mathbf{V} ) is the velocity of the electron and ( \mathbf{B} ) is the magnetic field. Since the velocity of the electron is parallel to the magnetic field in the solenoid, the cross product ( \mathbf{V} \times \mathbf{B} ) equals zero. Thus, the force acting on the electron due to the magnetic field of the solenoid is zero.


The force pairs are on the diagram to the left. What is the action force acting on?

I don't see any diagram to the left.


Can a force acting perpendicular on a body cancal a force which is acting horizontally on the same body?

Yes, a force acting perpendicular to a horizontal force on a body can cancel out the horizontal force if the two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This is known as the equilibrium condition, where the net force acting on the body is zero.


The closer a is to the nucleus the stronger the attractive force?

Yes, that's correct. The closer an electron is to the nucleus of an atom, the stronger the attractive force between the nucleus and the electron. This attraction is due to the electrostatic force between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electron.

Is an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom neutron attracting an electron a proton attracting an electron an electron attracting another electron a neutron attracting a proton?

Yes, an example of an electrostatic force acting in an atom is a proton attracting an electron. This attraction occurs due to the opposite charges of the proton (positive) and the electron (negative), leading to the electrostatic force of attraction between them.


How does an electron move in an electric field and what factors influence its motion?

An electron moves in an electric field by experiencing a force that causes it to accelerate in the direction of the field. Factors that influence its motion include the strength of the electric field, the charge of the electron, and any other forces acting on the electron.


What is the magnitude of the force acting on the electron due to its interaction with Earth and acirc and 128 and 153s magnetic field?

The force acting on the electron due to its interaction with Earth's magnetic field can be calculated using the equation F = qvB, where q is the charge of the electron, v is its velocity, and B is the magnetic field strength. Without specific values for the velocity and charge, we cannot calculate the magnitude of the force.


Why would a force be unbalanced?

In principle, any force acting on an object is unbalanced, UNLESS there is a second force in the opposite direction, acting on the same object.

How does a free electron at rest move in an electric field?

A free electron at rest in an electric field will experience a force due to the field and will accelerate in the direction of the electric field. The electron will gain kinetic energy and start moving in the direction of the force until it reaches a velocity where the force due to the field is balanced by other forces acting on the electron.


Metric measure of the force of gravity acting on an object?

The metric unit for force - any force - is the newton.


How do you find the net force acting on an object?

To find the net force acting on an object, you need to add up all the individual forces acting on the object in the same direction and subtract any forces acting in the opposite direction. The net force is the overall force that results from this calculation.


How can one determine the net force acting on an object?

To determine the net force acting on an object, you need to add up all the individual forces acting on the object in the same direction and subtract any forces acting in the opposite direction. The net force is the overall force that influences the object's motion.

Why the potential energy is zero in free electron case?

In the case of a free electron, there is no external force acting on the electron, so no work is done to displace it. Since potential energy is associated with work done in displacing an object against a force, the potential energy of a free electron is considered to be zero.


What are the forces on a airplane when it is still?

When an airplane is still on the ground, the main forces acting on it are the gravitational force acting downwards and the normal force exerted by the ground acting upwards to support the weight of the airplane. There are typically no aerodynamic forces acting on the airplane until it starts moving.
