The potential in a region of space due to a charge distribution is given by the expression V = ax2z + bxy − cz2 where a = −3.00

V/m3, b = 6.00 V/m2, and c = 9.00 V/m2. What is the electric field vector at the point (0, −8.00, −8.00) m? Express your answer in vector form

Answer:

\vec{E} ( (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m) ) = (   48.00 \frac{V}{m}  ,  0  , - 144.00 \frac{V}{m}  )

Explanation:

We know that the relationship between the electric field \vec{E}(\vec{r}) and the potential V(\vec{r}) is given by

\vec{E} ( \vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} V(\vec{r})

So, for our potential:

V(r) = a x^2 z + b x y - c z^2

the electric field is :

\vec{E} ( \vec{r}) = - \vec{\nabla} ( a x^2 z + b x y - c z^2 )

\vec{E} ( \vec{r}) = - ( \frac{ \partial }{\partial x}, \frac{ \partial }{\partial y} , \frac{ \partial }{\partial z}) ( a x^2 z + b x y - c z^2 )

\vec{E} ( \vec{r}) = - ( \frac{ \partial }{\partial x} ( a x^2 z + b x y - c z^2 ) , \frac{ \partial }{\partial y}  ( a x^2 z + b x y - c z^2 ) , \frac{ \partial }{\partial z} ( a x^2 z + b x y - c z^2 ))

\vec{E} ( \vec{r}) = - ( 2 a x z + b y  , b x  , a x^2 - 2 c z )

This is the our electric field. At vector point

\vec{r} = (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m)

\vec{E} ( (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m) ) = - ( 2 a  * 0 * (-8.00 \ m)   + b (-8.00 \ m)   , b * 0  , a 0^2 - 2 c (-8.00 \ m)  )

\vec{E} ( (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m) ) = - ( 0   - b 8.00 \ m   ,  0  , 0 + 2 c 8.00 \ m  )

\vec{E} ( (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m) ) = (   b 8.00 \ m   ,  0  , - 2 c 8.00 \ m  )

Knowing

b= 6.00 \frac{V}{m^2}

and

c=9.00 \frac{V}{m^2}

the electric field is

\vec{E} ( (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m) ) = (   6.00 \frac{V}{m^2} * 8.00 \ m   ,  0  , - 9.00 \frac{V}{m^2} * 2* 8.00 \ m  )

\vec{E} ( (0, -8.00 \ m, - 8.00 \ m) ) = (   48.00 \frac{V}{m}  ,  0  , - 144.00 \frac{V}{m}  )

Henry will lift 200 N load 20 m up a ladder in 40 s.  While the Ricardo will take 400 N load in 80 seconds. So, For Henry to take 400 N load it will take him 80 seconds in two attempts. And,also, he will have to cover 40 m of distance.

A thin aluminum rod lies along the x-axis and has current of I = 16.0 A running through it in the +x-direction. The rod is in th
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

a) The magnitude of the magnetic field = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field is the +z direction.

Explanation:

The force, F on a current carrying wire of current I, and length, L, that passes through a magnetic field B at an angle θ to the flow of current is given by

F = (B)(I)(L) sin θ

F/L = (B)(I) sin θ

For this question,

(F/L) = 0.113 N/m

B = ?

I = 16.0 A

θ = 90°

0.113 = B × 16 × sin 90°

B = 0.113/16 = 0.0071 T = 7.1 mT

b) The direction of the magnetic field will be found using the right hand rule.

The right hand rule uses the first three fingers on the right hand (the thumb, the pointing finger and the middle finger) and it predicts correctly that for current carrying wires, the thumb is in the direction the wire is pushed (direction of the force; -y direction), the pointing finger is in the direction the current is flowing (+x direction), and the middle finger is in the direction of the magnetic field (hence, +z direction).
