The electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

<h3>What is the electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the 4.0 μC charge is E = kq/r² where

  • k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
  • q = 4.0 μC = 4.0 × 10 C and
  • r = distance of charge from origin = x₁ - 0 = 2.0 m - 0 m = 2.0 m

<h3>What is the electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge?</h3>

The electric field due to the -4.0 μC charge is E = kq'/r² where

  • k = electric constant = 9.0 × 10 Nm²/C²,
  • q' = -4.0 μC = -4.0 × 10 C and
  • r = distance of charge from origin = 0 - x₂ = 0 - (-2.0 m) = 0 m + 2.0 m = 2.0 m

Since both electric fields are equal in magnitude and directed along the negative x-axis, the net electric field at the origin is

E" = E + E'

= -2E

= -2kq/r²

<h3>What is the electric potential at the origin?</h3>

So, the electric potential at the origin is V = -∫₂⁰E".dr

= -∫₂⁰-2kq/r².dr

Since E and dr = dx are parallel and r = x, we have

= -∫₂⁰-2kqdxcos0/x²

= 2kq∫₂⁰dx/x²

= 2kq[-1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/x]₂⁰

= -2kq[1/0 - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞ - 1/2]

= -2kq[∞]

= -∞

So, the electric potential at the origin of the xy coordinate system is negative infinity

Consider the following geometric solids.
Bad White [126]

Before answering this question, first we have to understand the effect of ratio of surface area to volume on the rate of diffusion.

The rate of diffusion for a body having larger surface area as compared to the ratio of surface area to volume will be more than a body having less surface area. Mathematically it can written as-

                           V∝ R            [ where v is the rate of diffusion and r is the ratio of surface area to volume]

As per the question,the ratio of surface area to volume for a sphere is given 0.08m^{-1}

The surface area to volume ratio for right circular cylinder is given 2.1m^{-1}

Hence, it is obvious that the ratio is more for right circular cylinder.As the rate diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area to volume ratio,hence rate of diffusion will be more for right circular cylinder.

Hence the correct option is B. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.

marin [14]
Heat flux (i) = k.a.temp variation/d
i = 250 J/s or 250w ; d = 2.1 x 10^-3m ; A = 1.9m^2 ; K (Body Fat) = 0.2W/m.Kelvin ; Temp. Var. (Delta T) = ?

-> 250 = 0.2 x 1.9 x deltaT/2.1 x 10^-3
-> 250 x 2.1 x 10^-3 = 0.38 x deltaT
-> 525 x 10^-3 = 38x10^-2 x deltaT
-> deltaT = 525 x 10^-3/ 38 x 10^-2
-> deltaT = 13.81 x 10^(-3 - (-2))
-> deltaT = 13.81 x 10^-1
-> deltaT = 1.381 K
