Given:

The charge q1 = 8.42 nC

The charge q2 = -3.75 nC

The distance between the charges is d = 2.73 cm

To find the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two charges.

Explanation:

The distance between the charges and the midpoint is d' =d/2

The electric field strength can be calculated by the formula

E\text{ = }\frac{k|q|}{d^{\prime2}}

The electric field strength at the midpoint due to the charge q1 will be

\begin{gathered} E_1=\frac{9\times10^9\times8.42\times10^{-9}\text{ C}}{(\frac{2.73}{2}\times10^{-2})^2} \\ =\text{ 4.07}\times10^5\text{ V/m} \end{gathered}

The electric field strength at the midpoint due to the charge q2 will be

\begin{gathered} E_2=\frac{9\times10^9\times3.75\times10^{-9}}{(\frac{2.73}{2}\times10^{-2})^2} \\ =1.8\times10^5\text{ V/m} \end{gathered}

The electric field strength at the midpoint between the charges will be

\begin{gathered} E=E_1+E_2 \\ =4.07\times10^5+1.8\times10^5 \\ =\text{ 5.87}\times10^5\text{ V/m} \end{gathered}

The electric field strength at the midpoint between the two charges is 5.87 x 10^(5) m.

What is the element with the lowest electronegativity value?
Lerok [7]
<h2>Answer: Francium </h2>

Let's start by explaining that electronegativity is a term coined by Linus Pauling and is determined by the <em>ability of an atom of a certain element to attract electrons when chemically combined with another atom. </em>

So, the more electronegative an element is, the more electrons it will attract.

It should be noted that this value can not be measured directly by experiments, but it can be determined indirectly by means of calculations from other atomic or molecular properties of the element. That is why the scale created by Pauling is an arbitrary scale, where the maximum value of electronegativity is 4, assigned to Fluorine (F) and the <u>lowest is 0.7, assigned to Francium (Fr).</u>

What does the Pauli exclusion principle state? . . A.Electrons will be added to an atom at the lowest possible level or sublevel
BARSIC [14]
The Pauli exclusion principle state that : D. Two electrons occupy the same orbital only if they have opposite spins

This happen because he stated that in an atom or molecule, two electrons CANNOT have same four electronic quantum numbers

What must be true about two objects if heat is flowing between them?
netineya [11]

Answer:

The objects must be different temperatures.

Explanation:

For heat to flow between two objects, heat must be flowing between them. The thermal gradient allows for the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy that is dissipated from one place to another based on temperature difference.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of body. It is power by heat energy between two bodies.

Heat generally flows from a body at high temperature to one at low temperature. When thermal equilibrium is established and both bodies have the same temperature, heat will stop to flow.

The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor _______.
frez [133]

Answer:

The electric potential at the surface of a charged conductor<u> is always such that the potential is zero at all points inside the conductor.</u>

Explanation:

Each point on the surface of a balanced charged conductor has the same electrical potential.

The surface on any charged conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is an equipotential surface. Since the electric field is equal to zero inside the conductor, the electric potential at any point inside and on the surface is equivalent to its value.
