no,

x rays are not charged particles.

electric field can apply force only on charged particles like electrons and protons.

What is the electric potential at the point on the x-axis where the electric field is zero?

The electric potential at the point on the x-axis where the electric field is zero is zero.


What are the responses of alpha beta and gamma radiation in an electric field?

If this is an electric feild that goes in towards the page: X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X the alpha particle will move upwards as it is a helium nuclei (and therefore is overly positive) the beta particle is an emited electron and therfore will move downwards. Gamma Rays are a form of an electromagnetic wave that is released when a newly decayed atom goes from a excited state to a de-excited state. As it is a form of radiation, gamma rays do not have a charge and therefore move straight through the feild.


How do you determine work done by electric field?

The work done by an electric field on a charged particle can be calculated using the formula: Work = charge of the particle x electric field strength x distance moved. The work is positive if the electric field and the displacement are in the same direction, and negative if they are in opposite directions.


What is Two point charges Q1 -2 and muC and Q2 plus 4 and muC are placed as shown in the figure the x-component of the electric field at the origin O is closest to?

The x-component of the electric field at the origin O is closest to zero because the electric field due to Q1 is along the -x direction and the electric field due to Q2 is along the +x direction. These two fields cancel each other out at the origin, resulting in a net field of zero along the x-axis.


Are Xrays transverse or longitudinal waves?

X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation, which are transverse waves. This means that the electric and magnetic fields associated with X-rays oscillate perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.

What is the radiation source for x-ray waves?

X-rays are produced by the electric field of an atom. This is usually discussed in terms of characteristic X-radiation and bremsstrahlung. Most X-rays in hospital X-ray kit are the latter (the exception is mammography) . Electrons are fired from an electron gun at a tungsten target. When the electrons pass close to a tungsten atom they interact with electric field. This deflects the incoming electrons, slowing them down, reducing their energy. The excess energy is given of as X-rays.

Where do you get electromagnetic energy?

•Electromagnetic energy is a combination of electric and magnetic fields vibrating in relation to another. •Includes -Power -Radio waves -Infrared light -Visible light -Ultraviolet light -X rays -Gamma rays -Cosmic rays •Electromagnetic waves are formed when an electric field (shown as blue arrows) couples with a magnetic field (shown as red arrows). •The magnetic and electric fields of an electromagnetic wave are perpendicular to each other and to the direction of the wave.

That they have neither a negative or positive charge

Relationship between electric field intensity and electric potential?

Electric field intensity is related to electric potential by the equation E = -dV/dx, where E is the electric field intensity, V is the electric potential, and x is the distance in the direction of the field. Essentially, the electric field points in the direction of decreasing potential, and the magnitude of the field is related to the rate at which the potential changes.


What is the word for field which studies EMR including visible light x-rays gamma rays and ultraviolet?

The field is called "electromagnetic radiation" or "EMR." It encompasses the study of all types of electromagnetic radiation, including visible light, x-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet radiation.


Is electromagnet and electromagnetic waves are the same?

No, an electromagnet is a device that produces a magnetic field when an electric current flows through it. Electromagnetic waves, on the other hand, are a form of energy that includes radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays, produced by the oscillation of electric and magnetic fields.


One of roentgen's early observations was that x-rays are not deflected by magnetic field what does this indicate about the nature of the rays?

That means the Roentgen rays are electrically neutral.
