Two small insulating spheres with radius 9.00*10^-2m are separated by a large center-to-center distance of 0.520m . One sphere i

s negatively charged, with net charge -2.40uC , and the other sphere is positively charged, with net charge 3.35uC . The charge is uniformly distributed within the volume of each sphere.
a)What is the magnitude E of the electric field midway between the spheres?

Answer:

electric field  7.64 10⁵ N / C

Explanation:

For this problem we can use Gauss's law, which indicates that the load within a Gaussian surface can be considered located in its center, therefore, as the point is much greater than the radius of the spheres we can take them as if it were a spot loading Let's calculate the field at the midpoint between them

            r = 0.520 m / 2

            r = 0.260 m

The electric field is a vector

            Et = E1 + E2

     

E1 has a negative charge, so the force is attractive and E2 has a positive charge, the outside is repulsive, so the two forces point in the same direction on the positive test charge.

               E1 = k Q1 / r²

               E2 = k Q2 / r²

               Et = E1 + E2

               Et = k Q1 / r² + k Q2 / r² = k (Q1 + Q2) / r²

               Et = 8.99 10⁹ (2.4 10⁻⁶ + 3.35 10⁻⁶) / 0.26²

               Et = 7.64 10⁵ N / C

An example of a high explosive is what?
nordsb [41]
The answer is Dynamite.
Explosive, any substance or device that can be made to produce a volume of rapidly expanding gas in an extremely brief period. Chemical explosives are of two types; detonating, or high explosives and deflagrating, or low, explosives. Detonating explosives, such as TNT and dynamite, are characterized by extremely rapid decomposition and development of high pressure, whereas deflagrating explosives, such as black and smokeless powders, involve merely fast burning and produce relatively low pressures.

This should be correct

Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.  We can't tell, until we see what "this" is.
