If two ends a and b are connected through a metallic wire. if electrons flows from point b to point a. what can you say about the potential a and b.

Point A is at higher potential than point B

Explanation:

Electrons are negatively charged - this means that they are attracted by positive charges and repelled by negative charges.

This also means that they tend to move in a direction opposite to the electric field lines (because electric field lines point away from a positive charge and toward a negative charge). So, they also tend to move from a point at lower potential to a point at higher potential.

In this problem, the electrons flow from point B to point A: therefore, point A must have higher potential than point B.

answer: at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.

explanation:

since we have given that

the population for alpha city, t years after january 1, 2004 is given as

first we find out the initial population, i.e. t=0,

so, our quadratic equation becomes,

according to question, we have said that if the population has twice its initial population, then it becomes

so, time taken to reach this above mentioned population is given by

now, we know that time can't be negative so, we take t=9.149 years.

hence, at 24 february, 2014 the population gets twice of its initial population.
