Answer:
Current = 10 Amperes.
Explanation:
Given the following dat;
Quantity of charge, Q = 36 kilocoulombs (KC) = 36 * 1000 = 36000C
Time = 1 hour to seconds = 60*60 = 3600 seconds
To find the current;
Quantity of charge = current * time
Substituting in the equation
36000 = current * 3600
Current = 36000/3600
Current = 10 Amperes.
Answer:
a) F= 0,19 [N] according to problem statement
b) F = 0,19*10⁹ [N] using the right value of K
Explanation:
The force between two electric charges is according to Coulomb´s law is:
F = K * q₁*q₂ / d² where q₁ and q₂ are the charges on body one and body 2 respectively, d is the distance between the two bodies and K is a constant K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². The problem establishes to use K = 8,988100 N.m²/C².
NOTE: To value of is : K = 8,988100*10⁹ N.m²/C². I am going to solve the problem using K = 8,988100 N.m²/C² if that information was an error, all we need to get the right answer is multiply the result by 10⁹
Then:
F = 8,988100 * 1,2* 0,36 / (4,5)² [ N*m²/C² ] * [ C*C*/m²]
F = 3,882859/ 20,25 [N]
F= 0,19 [N]
The force is of repulsion since the two charges are positive and in the direction of the straight line which passes through the centers of the bodies
AC reverses the current in periods, and the current flows in 2 directions.
DC only flows in one direction and is constant.
AC is typically used to transfer power over long distances from a generator to your home, stepping it up after it's generated to send it over the distance, then stepping it back down so that it is usable in your home.
DC is used typically inside of devices, as it sends a certain amount of electricity through the wires.
Nicolas Tesla, was ripped off by Edison to replace his DC stations with AC instead. ^^
