Under Electrostatic Conditions,the Electric Field Just Outside the Surface of Any

question 26

Multiple Choice

Under electrostatic conditions,the electric field just outside the surface of any charged conductor

• A) is always parallel to the surface.
• B) is always zero because the electric field is zero inside conductors.
• C) is always perpendicular to the surface of the conductor.
• D) is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor only if it is a sphere, a cylinder, or a flat sheet.
• E) can have nonzero components perpendicular to and parallel to the surface of the conductor.

Photoheterotrophs

Organisms that obtain their energy from sunlight but rely on organic compounds from the environment as their carbon source.

Photosystem I

A component of the chloroplast's thylakoid membrane in plants that is involved in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, specifically known for aiding in the process of converting solar energy into chemical energy.

Reaction Center

The portion of a photosystem that includes chlorophyll a molecules capable of transferring electrons to a primary electron acceptor, which is the first of several electron acceptors in a series. See antenna complex and photosystem.

Antenna Complex
