(a) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an electron is 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C.

(b) The required magnitude of the electric field when the point charge is an proton is 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C.

<h3>Magnitude of electric field </h3>

The magnitude of electric field is given by the following equation.

F = qE

But F = mg

mg = qE

E = mg/q

where;

  • E is the electric field
  • m is mass of the particle
  • g is acceleration due to gravity
  • q is charge of the particle
<h3>For an electron</h3>

E = (9.11 x 10⁻³¹ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 5.57 x 10⁻¹¹ N/C

<h3>For proton</h3>

E = (1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x 9.8)/(1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹)

E = 1.02 x 10⁻⁷ N/C

Thus, the required vertical electric field is greater when the charge is proton.

When a transformer is step down then
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer should be D!

Explanation:

In a transformer Np / Ns is called the voltage ratio. If Ns is less than Np then Vs is less than Vp. This is called a step-down transformer as the voltage is reduced.

A 12-kg piece of metal displaces 1.6 L of water when submerged. Part A Find its density. Express your answer to two significant
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 12 kg

Displace volume ,V= 1.6 L

We know that

1000 m ³ = 1 L

Therefore V= 0.0016 m ³

When metal piece is fully submerged

We know that

mass = Density x volume

m=\rho \times V

Now by putting the values in the above equation

\rho=\dfrac{12}{0.0016}\ kg/m^3

ρ = 7500 kg/m³

Therefore the density of the metal piece will be  7500 kg/m³.
