The Electric field is zero at a distance 2.492 cm from the origin.

Let A be point where the charge 15\times10^-6 C is placed which is the origin.

Let B be the point where the charge 9\times 10^-6 C is placed. Given that B is at a distance 1 cm from the origin.

Both the charges are positive. But charge at origin is greater than that of B. So we can conclude that the point on the x-axis where the electric field = 0 is after B on x - axis.

i.e., at distance 'x' from B.

Using Coulomb's law, \frac{kQ_A^2}{d_A^2} = \frac{kQ_B^2}{d_B^2},

Q_A = 15\times 10^-6 C

Q_B=9\times10^-6C

d_A = 1+x cm

d_B=x cm

k is the Coulomb's law constant.

On substituting the values into the above equation, we get,

\frac{(15\times10^-6)^2}{(1+x)^2} =\frac{(9\times10^-6)^2}{x^2}

Taking square roots on both sides and simplifying and solving for x, we get,

1.67x = 1+x

Therefore, x = 1.492 cm

Hence the electric field is zero at a distance 1+1.492 = 2.492 cm from the origin.

Resistance increases with the length of the wire
Marta_Voda [28]
If the length of the wire increases, then the amount of resistance will also increase.

1. Take a long piece of wire and cut it 10 pieces. Those pieces should all be different sizes, one should be 5___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.), and the next should be 5 ___ (units in meter, cm, inches, etc.) more than the one before.
2. Take one piece of wire and measure the resistance using ___ and record the results in the data table.
3. Repeat the previous step with all the pieces of wire.
4. Compare and contrast the results you have found.

I hope this helps a bit :)

Which sphere of Earth is associated with plate tectonics?
Marrrta [24]

When looking at this question, we can easily start by eliminating certain answers. In the selections you've provided, you've shown atmosphere. We can easily eliminate letter A, as that makes absolutely no sense. Moving on, you also eliminate letter B, as that deals with ecosystems and whatnot. And finally, you can eliminate hydrosphere, letter C - as that's not the same. That deals with water, like oceans or rivers.

That leaves you with D) Lithosphere for your answer. The Lithosphere is the rigid part of the earth, the outermost layer, I would say. The crust / mantle. That's why it would be letter D - plate tectonics seem to have relations with the Lithosphere. The lithosphere is affected.
