Answer:

Part a)

E = 8436.7 N/C

Part b)

E = 8436.7 N/C

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

\sigma = \frac{Q}{A}

Q = -3.8 nC

A = \pi(0.09)^2

A = 0.025 m^2

\sigma = \frac{-3.8\times 10^{-9}}{0.025}

\sigma = -1.5 \times 10^{-7} C/m^2

now the electric field is given as

E = \frac{-1.5 \times 10^{-7}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E = 8436.7 N/C

Part b)

Now since the electric field is required at same distance on other side

so the field will remain same on other side of the plate

E = 8436.7 N/C

The p wave on an electrocardiogram represents __________.
Harrizon [31]

It represents the depolarization of the atria.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The P wave speaks to the depolarization of the left and right chamber and furthermore relates to atrial compression. Carefully, the atria contract a brief moment after the P wave starts. Since it is so little, atrial repolarization is typically not unmistakable on ECG.

In an ordinary ECG, there's three particular waves. The primary wave is the P wave, which speaks to the depolarization of the atria. This happens directly before the atria agreement and drive blood into the ventricles. The following wave is known as the QRS wave.

An electric field of intensity 3.25 kN/C is applied along the x-axis. Calculate the electric flux through a rectangular plane 0.
jekas [21]

Answer:

\varphi_1= 796.25 N m^2/C

\varphi_2= 0 N m^2/C

\varphi_3=686.1  N m^2/C

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Electric field of intensity E= 3.25 kN/C

Rectangle parameter Width W=0.350 m  Length L=0.700 m

Angle to the normal \angle=30.5 \textdegree

Generally the equation for Electric flux at parallel to the yz plane \varphi_1 is mathematically given by

\varphi_1=EA cos theta

\varphi_1=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 0

\varphi_1= 796.25 N m^2/C

Generally the equation for Electric flux at parallel to xy  plane \varphi_2 is mathematically given by

\varphi_2=EA cos theta

\varphi_2=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 90

\varphi_2= 0 N m^2/C

Generally the equation for Electric flux at angle 30 to x plane \varphi_3 is mathematically given by

\varphi_3=EA cos theta

\varphi_3=3.25* 10^3 N/C * ( 0.350)(0.700) cos 30.5

\varphi_3=686.072219  N m^2/C

\varphi_3=686.1  N m^2/C

Electricity may be categorized as static or current. how are these two types of energy different
arlik [135]
Hello!

Static electricity occurs due to an imbalance in positively and negatively charged atoms. An example of this is when you take your clothes out of the dryer, and feel a slight sting when touching them. Another example of static electricity is lightning.

Current electricity occurs when there is a constant flow of electrons, such as in plug-operated machinery or anything operated using a battery. :)
