The Potential at the origin due to the four point charges located at  (0, 2), (0, -2), (2 , 0), and (-2 , 0) will be - 45\times10^{4} volts.

We have four point charges, each of charge 2.5\times10^{-5} C, are located on the x - axis and y - axis, one at each of the locations (0, 2), (0, -2), (2 , 0), and (-2 , 0).

We have to calculate the potential at the origin O(0,0).

<h3>What is the formula to calculate the Electric potential at a point ' r ' meters away from a point charge ' q ' ?</h3>

The Electric field potential due to point charge ' q ' at a distance ' r ' meters apart is -

V(r) = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{q}{r}

Now, in the question given to us -

q = 2.5\times10^{-5}

Let us label the four points as - A (0, 2), B (0, -2), C (2 , 0), and D (-2 , 0).

Now, the potential due to charge located at point A will be -

V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{q}{r}\\V_{A} = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_{o} } \frac{q}{r}\\V_{A} = 9\times10^{9}\times\frac{2.5\times10^{-5} }{2} \\V_{A} = 11.25\times10^{4}

Now, the distance of the center from each point will be same = 2 m.

Hence, the potential due to each charge at the origin will be -

V_{A} =V_{B} =V_{C} =V_{D} = 11.25\times10^{4}

Since, the potential is a scalar quantity, we can add the potential due to each charge using simple addition -

V_{A} +V_{B} +V_{C} +V_{D} = 4\times11.25\times= 45\times10^{4} Volts

Hence, the potential at the center will be - 45\times10^{4} volts.

A wire, of length L = 4.1 mm, on a circuit board carries a current of I = 1.96 μA in the j direction. A nearby circuit element g
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 4.1 mm

B_{x}=4.9\ G

B_{y}=2.3\ G

B_{z}=2.4\ G

Current I = 1.96\ mu A

We need to calculate the magnetic field

Using formula of magnetic field

B=\sqrt{B_{x}^2+B_{y}^2+B_{z}^2}

Put the value into the formula

B=\sqrt{(4.9)^2+(2.3)^2+(2.4)^2}

B=5.921\ T

Hence, The magnitude of the magnetic field B is 5.921 T.

Describe all the ways that newtons laws can apply in a car crash
Harman [31]
Newtons first law - Objects in the car at rest (The human) will remain at rest unless affected by an unbalanced force. Well the unbalanced force would be the crash and this would set the human in motion and they would ether fly out the car if not wearing a seat belt or if wearing one they would get bad whip lash

Newtons second law - With more mass requires more force, so since the human is pretty light or even if heavy in a big crash there will be so much more from it that this will send the human flying.

Newtons 3rd law - Objects A puts force onto objects b and object b excretes the same amount of force back onto object a, so in a crash the human would hit the car hard and the car would excrete the same amount of force back on the human which would really damage him/her
