Gout and Diet. Gouty arthritis is usually an extremely painful attack with a rapid onset of joint inflammation. The inflammation is precipitated by the deposition of uric acid crystals in the lining of the joint (synovial lining) and the fluid within the joint. Intense joint inflammation occurs when white blood cells engulf the crystals of uric acid and release chemicals that promote inflammation.
Which way does the electric field point around the positive terminal of an alkaline battery? E.20 The electric field points away from the positive terminalâs surface. 21. Which has the stronger electric field between its two terminals: a 1.5-V AA battery or a standard 9-V battery? Explain. E.21 The 9-V battery has the larger voltage gradient and therefore the stronger electric field because its two terminals have a greater voltage difference and a shorter distance between them. 22. You have 100 AA batteries.
When a metal wire is connected across the two terminals of a DC voltage source such as a battery, the source places an electric field across the conductor. The moment contact is made, the free electrons of the conductor are forced to drift toward the positive terminal under the influence of this field.
