The current flow is 2.4mph.

To find the answer, we have to know about the streamline flow.

<h3>How to find the rate of flow of current?</h3>

The boat's speed will reduce by V miles per hour if it is moving upstream because the current, which moves at a speed of V miles per hour, will be pressing against it. The boat moves downstream at a pace of Vp-V miles per hour as a result. However, if the boat is moving downstream, the current will be pushing it faster, increasing the boat's speed by V miles per hour. The boat's downstream speed as a result is Vp+V miles per hour.

where; Vp is the paddling speed in calm water.

  • It is given that, upstream distance is 10 miles, and downstream is 5 miles in 7 hours.
  • Thus, the time taken for downstream is,

                     t_d=\frac{S_d}{v_d}=\frac{5}{4+V}  , where; S is distance and v is speed.

  • Similarly, the time taken for upstream is,

                           t_u=\frac{S_u}{v_u}=\frac{10}{4-V}

  • The total time taken is,

                t=7hours=t_d+t_u\\                  

  • From this, the velocity of current is,

                       \frac{5}{4+V}+\frac{10}{4-V} =7\\\\V=2.4mph

Thus, we can conclude that, the current flow is 2.4mph.

Estimate the electric field at a point 2.40 cm perpendicular to the midpoint of a uniformly charged 2.00-m-long thin wire carryi
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction,  and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}

Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:

E = \frac{\22.475}{2\pi*( 8.85*10^{-12})*(2.4*10^{-2})}\frac{N}{C}=1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}
