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.

Must all species reproduce in order for the species to survive?
Airida [17]

ANSWER:

the correct answer is D.Yes; without reproduction, once the living organisms died, there would be no offspring to replace them.

TIP: bc if a species dies and it doesnt reproduce that species will go extinct, and remember every specie plays a role in life (but they are some animals that dont and are just a threat to the world). so reproducing is the only way to keep their generation going!

Why do the passengers on a high-flying airplane not appear weightless, similar to the astronauts on the space station?
sergey [27]

<span>Even in space, there is still presence of gravity. The cause of weightlessness is not how far above the earth the space shuttle is but rather how fast it is travelling. The shuttle is in free fall causing weightlessness, but it is travelling fast enough to miss the earth as it falls. Similarly, the airplane could also provide weightlessness if it went free fall as well. However, that ends as the plane hits the ground. </span>
