Answer:

The force between the charges are not affected.

Explanation:

Given;

distance between two equal charges, R = 2m

The force between the charges is given by;

F = \frac{kq^2}{R^2}\\\\F_1 = \frac{kq_1^2}{R_1^2}\\\\When\ the \ charges \ and \ the \ distance \ are \ divided \ by \ two \ (q_2 = \frac{q_1}{2}, \ R_2 = \frac{R_1}{2} )\\\\ F_2 = \frac{kq_2^2}{R_2^2}\\\\F_2 = \frac{k(q_1/2)^2}{(R_1/2)^2}\\\\F_2= \frac{4k*q_1^2}{4*R_1^2}\\\\F_2 = \frac{k*q_1^2}{R_1^2}\\\\F_2 = F_1

Therefore, the force between the charges are not affected.

A. Write two or three sentences to describe the conductivity of an insulator. Explain its conductivity in terms of the electrons
aliya0001 [1]

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt

An equipoterntial surface that surrounds a + 3.0 pC point charge has a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the potential of this surface?​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Electric potential = 0.00054 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge; q = 3 pC = 3 × 10^(-12) C

Radius; r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Formula for the electric potential of this surface will be;

V = kqr

Where;

K is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N⋅m²/C².

Thus;

V = 9 × 10^(9) × 3 × 10^(-12) × 0.02

V = 0.00054 V

An electron is moving horizontally east in an electric field that points vertically downward. The electric force on the electron
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

d. )directed upward.

Explanation:

As the electron has a negative charge, when under the influence of an electric field, is subject to an electric force, which direction is the opposite to the direction of the electric field.

This is because the electric field has the same direction that the force on a positive test charge at the same point.

As the electric field points vertically downward, the electric force on the electron (a negative charge) points vertically upward.

So, the statement d. is the one that results to be true.
