James observes that the Polaris star in the northern hemisphere does not rise and set in the sky. His teacher tells him that thi

s is because Earth rotates around an axis that points toward Polaris. Based on this information, identify where Polaris could be located on the diagram.

Answer:

Just above the axis of the Earth

Explanation:

The pole star is the star that lies just above the axis of the Earth. Contrary to the belief that it is exactly above the axis of Earth it is actually a little bit shifted. But that separation is very small i.e. 0.5°. Also, pole star is just a designation. For northern hemisphere, Polaris is the pole star.

In the diagram, Polaris will be the star just above the axis of Earth.

Just because it lies above the axis of the Earth it doesn't appear to move from its place.

Answer:

Just above the pole (top-most red circle)

Explanation:

Polaris is used to identify North direction. Since, the Earth rotates on its axis which is along North-south, Polaris never seems to rise and set from the Northern hemisphere. This is because Polaris lies above north pole. Thus, in the given diagram, Polaris is above the North pole on the axis represented by top-most red circle.

Alecsey [184]

Answer:0.1759 v

Explanation:

Intensity of wave at receiver end is

I=\frac{P_{avg}}{A}

I=\frac{3.80\times 10^3}{4\times \pi \times \left ( 4\times 1609.34\right )^2}

I=7.296\times 10^{-6} W/m^2

Amplitude of electric field at receiver end

E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu _0c}

Amplitude of induced emf

=E_{max}d

=\sqrt{2\times 7.29\times 10-6\times 4\pi \times 3\times 10^8}\times 0.75

=17.591\times 10^{-2}=0.1759 v

A uniformly charged conducting sphere of 1.1 m diameter has a surface charge density of 6.2 µC/m2. (a) Find the net charge on th
ira [324]

Answer:

(a) q = 2.357 x 10⁻⁵ C

(b) Φ = 2.66 x 10⁶ N.m²/C

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the sphere, d = 1.1 m

radius of the sphere, r = 1.1 / 2 = 0.55 m

surface charge density, σ = 6.2 µC/m²

(a)  Net charge on the sphere

q = 4πr²σ

where;

4πr² is surface area of the sphere

q is the net charge on the sphere

σ is the surface charge density

q = 4π(0.55)²(6.2 x 10⁻⁶)

q = 2.357 x 10⁻⁵ C

(b) the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere

Φ = q / ε

where;

Φ is the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere

ε is the permittivity of free space

Φ = (2.357 x 10⁻⁵) / (8.85 x 10⁻¹²)

Φ = 2.66 x 10⁶ N.m²/C

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2 cm has a charge of 8microCoulomb. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4 cm andout
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C) 7.35*10⁶ N/C radially outward

Explanation:

  • If we apply the Gauss'law, to a spherical gaussian surface with radius r=7 cm, due to the symmetry, the electric field must be normal to the surface, and equal at all points along it.
  • So, we can write the following equation:

       E*A = \frac{Q_{enc} }{\epsilon_{0}} (1)

  • As the electric field must be zero inside the conducting spherical shell, this means that the charge enclosed by a spherical gaussian surface of a radius between 4 and 5 cm, must be zero too.
  • So, the +8 μC charge of  the solid conducting sphere of radius 2cm, must be compensated by an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell of total charge -4 μC.
  • So, on the outer surface of the shell there must be a charge that be the difference between them:

        Q_{enc} = - 4e-6 C - (-8e-6 C) = + 4 e-6 C

  • Replacing in (1) A = 4*π*ε₀, and Qenc = +4 μC, we can find the value of E, as follows:

      E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon_{0} } *\frac{Q_{enc} }{r^{2} } = \frac{9e9 N*m2/C2*4e-6C}{(0.07m)^{2} } = 7.35e6 N/C

  • As the charge that produces this electric field is positive, and the electric field has the same direction as the one taken by a positive test charge under the influence of this field, the direction of the field is radially outward, away from the positive charge.
