Two point charges, 3.4 μC and -2.0 μC , are placed 5.0 cm apart on the x axis. Assume that the negative charge is at the origin,

and the positive x-axis is directed from the negative charge to the positive. At what points along the x axis is the potential zero? Let V=0 at r=∞ .

The electric field is zero at x = -16.45cm

Data;

  • q1 = 3.4 μC
  • q2 = -2.0 μC
  • distance = 5cm

<h3>The Electric Field at point 0</h3>

As the 3μC is larger than -2.0μC  and the charges are opposite sign. The electric field will be zero at the negative axis.

Let the point be at x.

For an electric field to be equal to zero;

k(\frac{q_1}{d_1})^2 + k(\frac{q_2}{d_2})^2 = 0\\\frac{3.4}{(5-x)^2} - \frac{2}{x^2} = 0\\

Let's solve for x using mathematical methods.

\frac{3.4x^2 - 2(5-x)^2}{(5-x)^2x^2}= 0\\ 3.4x^2 - 2(5-x^2) = 0\\3.4x^2 - 50 - 2x^2 + 20x = 0\\1.4x^2 +20x - 50 = 0

Solving the above quadratic equation;

x = -16.45cm

The electric field is zero at x = -16.45cm

A mass on a horizontal surface is connected to the spring and pulled to the right along the surface stretching the spring by 25
solniwko [45]

Answer:

320 N/m

Explanation:

From Hooke's law, we deduce that

F=kx where F is applied force, k is spring constant and x is extension or compression of spring

Making k the subject of formula then

k=\frac {F}{x}

Conversion

1m equals to 100cm

Xm equals 25 cm

25/100=0.25 m

Substituting 80 N for F and 0.25m for x then

k=\frac {80}{0.25}=320N/m

Therefore, the spring constant is equal to 320 N/m

Nearly monochromatic light of wavelength 420 nm is split in two beams. The first beam traveled 105 nm to the screen more than th
leva [86]

Answer:

phase difference = π / 2

constructive interference

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 420 nm

1st beam = 105 nm

path difference = 105 nm

to find out

phase difference  and interference pattern of the two beams

solution

we use here equation of phase difference that is

phase difference = 2π / wavelength × Δx

put here value

phase difference = 2π / 420 × 105

phase difference = π / 2

and

we know that  here path difference Δx is the integral multiple of the wavelength  so it will be constructive interference

Δx is wavelength / 4
