U have to *modify it to increase its ground clearance*
Location A receives more rainfall than Location B due to the rain shadow effect.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Rain shadow effect is caused due to the presence of mountains.
- A rain shadow area is an area of land that has been forced to become dry, devoid of any vegetation growth due to the blockage of precipitation by mountains. These rain shadow areas will have a dry climate.
- The other side of the mountain would receive plenty of precipitation and therefore would be flourished with plant growth. These areas will have a cool and wet climate.
- In this case, Location A is on the other side of the mountain and so receives more rainfall or precipitation. Meanwhile, Location B is on the rain shadow region and so receives less rainfall.
We know, F = 1/4πε * q₁q₂ / r²
Here, q₁ = 5 * 10⁻⁶ C
q₂ = 2 * 10⁻⁶ C
r = 3 * 10⁻² m west
Substitute their values,
F = (9 * 10⁹) (5 * 10⁻⁶) (2 * 10⁻⁶) / (3 * 10⁻²)²
F = 100 N [ East of positive charge ]
Hope this helps!
