Answer:

1408.685 KN/C

Explanation:

Given:

R = 0.45 m

σ = 175 μC/m²

P is located a distance a = 0.75 m

k = 8.99*10^9

  • The Electric Field Strength E of a uniformly solid disk of charge at distance a perpendicular to disk is given by:

                                  E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + R^2} })\\

part a)

Electric Field strength at point P: a = 0.75 m

E = 2*pi*8.99*10^9*175*10^-6 * (1 - \frac{0.75}{\sqrt{0.75^2 + 0.45^2} })\\\\E = 9885021.285*(0.1425070743)\\\\E = 1408.685 KN/C

part b)

Since, R >> a, we can approximate a / R = 0 ,

Hence, E simplified relation becomes:

E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{a/R}{\sqrt{a^2/R^2 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o * (1 - \frac{0}{\sqrt{0 + 1} })\\\\E = 2*pi*k*o

E = σ / 2*e_o

part c)

Since, a >> R, we can approximate. that the uniform disc of charge becomes a single point charge:

Electric Field strength due to point charge is:

E = k*δ*pi*R^2 / a^2  

Since, R << a, Surface area = δ*pi

Hence,

E = (k*δ*pi/a^2)

irina [24]
Light is consist of different spectrum of colors called wave lengths. The colors that visible to the naked eye are known as Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. These colors are arranged from shortest to longest. The color red that appeared from the other side of the tank signifies that the wavelength that can only pass through the material is red, which is the shortest. Other wavelengths are dispersed into the molecules of the glass, hence it cannot be seen through the other side.

A simple electric motor consists of a 220-turn coil, 4.4 cm in diameter, mounted between the poles of a magnet that produces a 9
Verdich [7]

Answer:

M = 5.01\ A.m^2          

Explanation:

It is given that,

Number of turns in the coil, N = 220

Diameter of the coil, d = 4.4 cm

Radius of the coil, r = 2.2 cm = 0.022 m

Magnetic field produced by the poles of magnet, B=96\ mT=96\times 10^{-3}\ T

Current flowing in the coil, I = 15 A

Let M is the coil's magnetic dipole moment. Its formula is given by :

M=N\times I\times A

M=220\times 15\times \pi (0.022)^2

M = 5.01\ A.m^2

So, the coil's magnetic dipole moment is 5.01\ A.m^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

Differences between concave and convex meniscus​
BARSIC [14]

Explanation:

A concave meniscus,(normally seen) occurs when the molecules of the liquid are attracted to those of the container. This occurs with water and a glass tube. A convex meniscus occurs when the molecules have a stronger attraction to each other than to the container, as with mercury and glass.

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.
