Three equal positive charges 'q' are at the corners of an equilateral triangle of side 'a'.

1 answer:

5 0

(a) The location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

(b) The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is 1.732 kq/a².

<h3>Position where the electric field is zero</h3>

The electric field is zero at the center of the equilateral triangle whose magnitude is equal to √3a/6.

<h3>Electric field at top corner due to two charges at the base</h3>

E = E₁ + E₂

where;

E₁ is electric field at the left base corner
E₂ is electric field at the right base corner

E = kq/a²[(cos 60i + sin 60j) + (-cos 60i + sin 60j)]

E = kq/a²[2(sin 60j)] = 1.732 kq/a²

Thus, the location of a point where the electric field is zero is at the center of the triangle which is equal to ¹/₆√3a.

The magnitude and direction of the electric field at the top corner due to the two charges at the base is 1.732 kq/a².

MrMuchimi

Answer:

$B_{net}$ = $(2\times 10^{-5}T/A).(I-25A)$

Explanation:

Given :

the distance between the two wires is = 2 cm

= 0.02 m

Current in one of the wire, I = 25 A

Now we know that, when the direction of the current is same that is in one direction , the magnetic field at the mid point in between the two wires will oppose each other.

Therefore we know that

$B_{net}$ = $\frac{\mu _{o}\times I_{1}}{2\pi r_{1}}-\frac{\mu _{o}\times I_{2}}{2\pi r_{2}}$

= $\frac{(4\pi \times 10^{-7}T.m/A)}{2\pi (1\times 10^{-2}m)}\times (I-25A)$

= $(2\times 10^{-5}T/A).(I-25A)$

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

TIME he applied the fertilizer to each plant

Explanation:

Independent variable in an experiment is the variable that is subject to change or manipulation by the experimenter. In this experiment, Bob wanted to investigate the effects of plant fertilizer. Bob sets up the experiment by applying the fertilizer to each plant at DIFFERENT TIMES i.e. plant 1-every morning, plant 2-once a week, plant 3-never.

Based on this, it is obvious that the independent or manipulated variable is the TIME at which he applied the fertilizer. On the other hand, the dependent or measured variable is the height of the plants.
