What humidity reading would be the driest?

1 answer:

7 0

The weather report never tells the "humidity" of the air. It tells the
"RELATIVE humidity". That's the percent of the moisture the air
COULD hold at the current temperature that it's actually holding
right now.

If the air is completely dry, then it's holding NONE of the moisture
that it COULD hold, and the relative humidity is zero percent.

Estimate the electric field at a point 2.40 cm perpendicular to the midpoint of a uniformly charged 2.00-m-long thin wire carryi

Answer:

$E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}$

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction, and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}$
