Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Not necessarily. The electric field is related to the rate of change of electric potential, not to the value of the electric potential. Therefore, if the electric field is zero in some region of space, it follows that the electric potential is constant in that region. The constant value of the electric potential may be zero, but it may also be positive or negative.

About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians. Every lot of vaccine is tested before administration to the public, and the FDA regularly inspects vaccine manufacturers' facilities.
