The power lines are at a high potential relative to the ground, so there is an electric field between the power lines and the ground. To maximize the potential difference between one end of the fluorescent tube and the other, how should the tube be held? Select the best answer from the choices provided. A. The tube should be held horizontally, parallel to the ground. B. The potential difference between the ends of the tube does not depend on the tube's orientation. C. The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

C.The tube should be held vertically, perpendicular to the ground.

Explanation: Power lines are mainly overhead power installation that transfer electric energy from one place to another. Electric power lines contains both Magnetic field and Electric field.

Potential difference is the change in the amount of energy carried by an electric circuit from one point to another. TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE END OF THE TUBE AND ANOTHER? THE TUBE SHOULD BE HELD VERTICALLY,PERPENDICULAR TO THE GROUND.

initial speed when it is dropped is 150 ft/s

now at the same moment the acceleration due to gravity is perpendicular to its velocity

so as we know that

now we have centripetal acceleration a = 32 ft/s^2 as its perpendicular to velocity

while tangential acceleration at the same moment will be zero

so

now radius of curvature is given as

so the radius of curvature just after it is dropped is 703.125 ft
