Three point charges are placed on the y-axis: a charge q at y=a, a charge –2q at the origin, and a charge q at y= –a. Such an ar
den301095 [7]

Answer:

electric field   Et = kq [1 / (x-a)² -2 / x² + 1 / (x+a)²]

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector, so it must be added as vectors, in this problem both the charges and the calculation point are on the same x-axis so we can work in a single dimension, remembering that the test charge is always positive whereby the direction of the field will depend on the load under analysis, if the field is positive, if the field is negative.

 a) Let's write the electric field for each charge and the total field

       E = k q /r

With k the Coulomb constant, q the charge and r the distance of the charge to the test point

       Et = E1 + E2 + E3

       E1 = k q / (x-a)²

       E2 = k (-2q) / x²  

       E3 = k q / (x + a)²

       Et = kq [1 / (x-a)² -2 / x² + 1 / (x+a)²]

The direction of the field is along the x axis

b) To use a binomial expansion we must have an expression the form (1-x)⁻ⁿ  where x << 1, for this we take factor like x from all the equations

       Et = kq/ x² [1 / (1-a/x)² - 2 + 1 / (1+a/x)²]

We use binomial expansion

     (1+x)⁻² = 1 -nx + n (n-1) 2! x² +… x << 1

     (1-x)⁻² = 1 +nx + n (n-1) 2! x² + ...

They replace in the total field and leaving only the first terms

       

   Et =kq/x² [-2 +(1 +2 a/x + 2 (2-1)/2 (a/x)² +…) + (1 -2 a/x + 2(2-1) /2 (a/x)² +.) ]

   Et = kq/x² [a²/x² + a²/x²2] = kq /x² [2 a²/x²]

Et = k q 2a²/x⁴

point charge

Et = k q 1/x²

Dipole

E = k q a/x³

What is the acceleration of a 10kg pushed by a 5n force
Semenov [28]
Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:

Where does the engery of an earthquake originate
allochka39001 [22]
From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest
