No. The sum of the gravitational field and the electric field is a useless concept.

Electric field in total magnetic field?

Electric field and magnetic field are two quite different things, and not necessarily related.


What do you mean by electric flux in electrostatics?

Under an electric field, magnitude and direction of electric intensity is different in every point.If the electric intensity can be defined through a closed line (direction of electric intensity will be along the tangent of any point of that line)this is called electric lines of force. Electric lines of forces passing through an closed electric surface perpendicularly, is called electric flux.


What is meant by total normal electric induction over a surface?

It is the actually the electric flux i.e. integral Eds where E is electric field and ds is elemental area. It can be also defined as the no. of lines of force passing through a given area.


What are the two factors related to gravitational pull?

The two factors related to gravitational pull are (total) mass and distance.


Regarding the gravitational interaction between the Earth and a stone is the Earth within the stone's gravitational field and how is it related to the Earth's gravitational field?

The Earth would lie within the gravitational field of the stone. For any form of gravitational interaction to occur between two objects, they must lie within each other's gravitational field. The gravitational field of the stone would not be affected by the Earth in any way, because the gravitational field is only a measure of the gravitational force that one object exerts on another, which varies only with mass. The gravitational force of the stone on the earth and the earth on the stone is given by the following formula:Mass[stone] * Mass[earth] * universal constant / distance between them squared. Specifications Talking about fields is not so simple. First of all, if there are two or more bodies (here, Earth and stone) the gravitation field is still one: it's due to the mass of the Earth and the mass of the stone, and it's different from the field that would be generated only by the Earth or only by the stone. So: there is only one field, generated by both the masses, and both the masses feel it and their motions are consequently modified by it. What makes this a problem is the fact that bodies generate the field (according to their mass and position) and the field modifies the position of the bodies themselves: so the field keeps changing in time! In fact, we usually assume that the field is generated by a fixed "mass distribution" (here, the Earth) and acts on a body whose mass is too small to considerably modify the field (here, the stone): in this way, we have an unchanging field and a body feeling it. Anyway, formally, the total gravitation field is ginven by the sum of the field of the Earth and the field of the stone, for each point of space (r being the position):g(r, t) = gE(t) + gS(t) == - GmE (r - rE(t))/|r - rE(t)|3 - GmS (r - rS(t))/|r - rS(t)|3.As you can see, (1) the dipendence of g from time is due to rE(t) and rS(t) (that change according to gacting on mE and mS themselves), and (2) one cannot apply this equation to r = rS or r = rE (that is, one cannot apply this equation to study the field acting on mE or mS), since for these r the field g diverges.

Is temperature the total gravitational potential energy of an element?

yes


Electromagnetic induction occurs in a coil when there is a change in?

Could you specify "coil"? Generally the electromagnetic induction occures due to variation of the B-field (magnetic flux density), variation of the current, I, or a change in the total area in which an electric current span over a B-field.

What is electric field inside charged metal sphere?

Zero. By Gauss' or Coulomb's law - eclectic field inside a conductor or a charged empty shell is always zero. If there were a field inside a sphere it would never be able to reach equilibrium with itself.


Is total electric charge conserved in electron capture?

Yes. Total electric charge is always conserved. No exceptions are known.


What kind of force has no change in motion?

I must note that it is invalid for a force to have a "change in motion" because forces do not move, (although the point they act on can move) if you mean "causes no change in motion" then my answer is that: Fundementaly all forces cause an acseleration of the object they are acting upon unless that force that is balenced (cancled out) by another force. This is expressed by f=ma where f is the total forces acting on the object, m is the mass and a is the acseleration.
