Two very large parallel sheets a distance d apart have their centers directly opposite each other. The sheets carry equal but op

posite uniform surface charge densities. A point charge that is placed near the middle of the sheets a distance d/2 from each of them feels an electrical force F due to the sheets. If this charge is now moved closer to one of the sheets so that it is a distance d/4 from that sheet, what force will feel?
(A) F
(B) 4F
(C) 2F
(D) F/2
(E) F/4

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

According to the Gauss law, electric field due to very large sheet of charge is as follows.

                    E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

where,     \sigma = charge per unit area

Since, it is given that there are two sheets of equal and opposite charge. Therefore, electric field between the plates will be as follows.

                  E = \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}} + \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

Also, we know that relation between force and electric field is as follows.

                       F = qE

Hence, force felt by the charge present inside the plates will be as follows.

                    F = q \times \frac{\sigma}{2 \times \epsilon_{o}}

This shows that force is not dependent on the distance and the charge is kept from one of the plate. Therefore, we can say that the force F felt by the charge is same when it is placed at a distance \frac{d}{2} and at a distance \frac{d}{4} from one of the plate.

Thus, we can conclude that the force we will feel is F.

Four ways to increase magnitude of current in dynamo​
8090 [49]

Answer:

hmm

Explanation:

By increasing the number of turns in the coil, strength of magnetic field, speed of rotation of the coil in the magnetic field and by decreasing the distance between the coil and the magnet the magnitude of the induced e.m.f. can be increased in generator/dynamo.

How to measure the external diameter of a sphere
DanielleElmas [232]
Sphere is that the circular objects in the two dimensional space (1) circle
(2) disk. Two dimensional space is a set of points and the distance of that point,The two points of Sphere that length and center.
Sphere can constructed as the named of surface form circle about any diameter. circle is the special type of the revolution replacing the circle,
sphere is the distance r is the radius of the ball and circle is the center of mathematical ball,as the center and the radius of the sphere is to respectively.
The ball and sphere has not be maintained mathematical references as a solid references. A sphere of any radius is centered at the number of zero.

Science not has only achievements but also challenges justify with an example
statuscvo [17]
For example science has discovered many amazing things like atoms,molecules which led to the development of nuclear reactors etc. Challenges would be like trying to prove theories like evolution for 100 of years trying to discover all the stuff we still don’t know exists all the mysteries of life. A lot of science is still theory we can’t prove some things until we have more advanced technology etc.

For a body to be in SHM, the restoring force must be __________ to displacement from equilibrium.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Proportional

Explanation:

The conditions that must be met to produce SHM are;

-The restoring force must be proportional to the displacement and act opposite to the direction of motion with no drag forces or friction.

- The frequency of oscillation does not depend on the amplitude.

It is rate for any motion to
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

a. stay the same for very long

Explanation:

It is rare for any motion to stay the same for a very long time. The force applied on a body causes changes in the magnitude of motion.

  • For motion to remain constant, there must not be a net force acting on the body
  • All the forces on the body must be balanced.
  • This is very hard to come by.
  • Motion changes very frequently.
