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?
Take the permittivity of free space to be ?0 = 8.85

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

On the modern periodic table, elements are ordered according to what?
sweet [91]

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.
