Answer 1

1. a vector field is an assignment of a vector to each point in a subset of space.

2. The direct answer is that it happens through Newton’s second law. If an object is in a potential field that is different at different points in space, then the object will experience a force in the direction in which the potential energy decreases. Newton’s second law says that a force causes a change in motion, which changes the kinetic energy.

3. According to Coulomb, the electric force for charges at rest has the following properties: Like charges repel each other; unlike charges attract. Thus, two negative charges repel one another, while a positive charge attracts a negative charge. The attraction or repulsion acts along the line between the two charges.

4. Ions are charged atoms that form when an atom donates or accepts one or more negatively charged electrons. Cations (ions with a positive charge) are attracted to anions (ions with a negative charge). This attraction is called an ionic bond.
