Missing question in the text:
"A.What are the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the point in question?

B.<span>What would be the magnitude and direction of the force acting on a proton placed at this same point in the electric field?"</span>

<span>Solution:

A) A charge q </span>under an electric field of intensity E will experience a force F  equal to:

F=qE

In our problem we have q=-2.5 nC=-2.5\cdot 10^{-9} C and F=18 nN = 18 \cdot 10^{-9} N, so we can find the magnitude of the electric field:

E= \frac{F}{q}= \frac{18\cdot 10^{-9}N}{2.5\cdot 10^{-9}C}=7.2 V/m

The charge is negative, therefore it moves against the direction of the field lines. If the force is pushing down the charge, then the electric field lines go upward.

B) The proton charge is equal to

e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the magnitude of the force acting on the proton will be

F=eE=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C \cdot 7.2 V/m=1.15 \cdot 10^{-18} N

And since the proton has positive charge, the verse of the force is the same as the verse of the field, so upward.

The specific heat capacity of ethanol is 2440J/kg °C. How many joules of energy will be required to heat 150g ethanol to 35°C if
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Required energy = 4758 J

Explanation:

Specific heat capacity of a material is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram (kg) of that material through one degree Celsius (°C).    

Given data :

Specific heat capacity = c = 2440 J/kg.°C

Mass = m = 150 g = 0.15 kg

Initial temperature = 22°C

Final temperature = 35°C

Change in Temperature = ΔT = 13°C

Energy = E = ?

Using the following formula and substituting the values, we get:

E = m × c × ΔT

E = 0.15 × 2440 × 13

E = 4758 J
