a) Electric field strength at distances 1.0 cm from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods E₁  =  5.04 x 10⁵ N / C

b)   Electric field vector at distances 2.0 cm from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods E₂ = 1.62 x 10⁵ N / C,

c)   Electric field vector  at distances 3.0 cm from the glass rod along the line connecting the midpoints of the two rods E₃= 1.75 x10⁵ N / C

<h3>What is Electric field?</h3>

The electric field is the addition of two electric field vectors. The electric field by a point charge is directly proportional to the charge and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them

           E = E₁ + E₂  and     E = k q / r

Where k is the Coulomb constant = 9 x10⁹ N m² / C², q is the charge and r the distance of the charge to the test point.

Suppose, calculate the electric field of a rod at a point r

Since the charge is evenly distributed, linear density will be

         λ = q / x = dq / dx

        dq = λ dx

The differential electric field vector is

         dE = k ∫ dq / x²

         dE = k  λ ∫ dx / x²

On integrating between the limits infer x = r to the upper limit x = r + l

         E = k  λ (-1 / x)

        E = k  λ (1 / r - 1 / r + l) = k  λ  l / r (r + l)

        E = k q / r (r + l)        where     q =  λ l

a) r = 1 cm from the glass rod and this point is r = 4.5 -1 = 3.5cm from the plastic rod

          E₁ = k q / 0.01 (0.01 + 0.1) + k q / 0.035 (0.035 + 0.1)

          E₁  = 9 x10⁹ x5 x 10⁻⁹ x 1120.73

          E₁ = 5.04 x 10⁵ N / C

b) r1 = 2.0 cm from glass rod, r2 = 4.5-2 = 2.5 cm from plastic rod

      E₂ = k q (1 / 0.02 (0.02 + 0.1) + 1 / 0.025 (0.025 + 0.1))

      E₂  =  9 x10⁹ x5 x 10⁻⁹x 3616.66

      E₂ = 1.62 x 10⁵ N / C

c) r1 = 3.0 cm  from glass rod, r2 = 4.5-3.0 = 1.5 cm from the plastic rod

      E₃= kq (1 / 0.03 (0.03 + 0.1) + 1 / 0.05 (0.05 + 0.1))

      E₃= 9 x10⁹ x5 x 10⁻⁹ x 389.744

      E₃= 1.75 x10⁵ N / C

Thus, all the electric field strengths are find out at respective distances.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

a) the strong magnetic field inhibits the currents of hot gas rising from below.

Explanation:

Sunspots are dark because they are a little cooler than the photo sphere.

The magnetic field inhibits the strong rising currents of hot gas,allowing it to cool the surface.

The reason why your body goes right and the car car goes left is because your body tries to stay where it was, which is on the right. Your upper body doesn't feel a force and because of that continues in the same direction. Your lower half is pulled out from under you by seat friction to the left, leaving you leaning to the right.
