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.

A heat engine: A) converts heat input to an equivalent amount of workB) converts work to an equivalent amount of heat C) takes h
Masja [62]

Answer:

C. Takes heat in, does work, and loses energy heat.

Explanation:

Heat engine is a system makes use of thermal energy (heat) to in order to do mechanical work.

This occurs by converting the heat into mechanical energy. This energy is then used to do work.

The key characteristic of a heat engine is that the substance with which work is done by, goes from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

Hence, it loses heat as it does work.

Light is incident normally on the short face of a 30∘−60∘−90∘ prism (Figure 1). A drop of liquid is placed on the hypotenuse of
ZanzabumX [31]

1.06 is the <u>maximum</u> refractive index that the liquid may have for the light to be totally reflected.

Only when a light source passes from a denser to a rarer medium can it completely reflect.

When the angle of incidence surpasses a specific critical value, specular reflection occurs in the more highly refractive of the two mediums at their interface, and this reflection is known as total reflection.

sin i_{c} = μ_{r} / μ_{d

From the diagram

Angle of incidence = 60°

sin60°  ≥ sini_{c} = μ_{r}/μ_{d}

μ_{r} ≤ μ_{d} sin60°

μ_{r} ≤ √1.5 × √3/2

   = 1.06

Hence, the maximum index that the liquid may have for the light to be totally reflected is 1.06

A car travels in a flat circle of radius R. At a certain instant the velocity of the car is 24 m/s west and the total accelerati
lisov135 [29]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Velocity,v=24 m/s west

Acceleration,a=2.5m/s^2

\theta=53^{\circ}(N of W)

Horizontal component of acceleration=Tangential acceleration

Tangential acceleration,a_x=acos\theta=2.5cos53=1.505 m/s^2

Radial acceleration=Vertical acceleration=a_y=asin\theta

a_y=2.5sin53=1.998 m/s^2

Radial acceleration,a_y=\frac{v^2}{R}

1.998=\frac{(24)^2}{R}

R=\frac{(24)^2}{1.998}

R=288.29 m

Time,t=\frac{2\pi R}{velocity}

t=\frac{2\pi(288.29)}{24}

t=75.47 s
