If two charged objects in a laboratory are brought to a distance of 0.22 meters away from each other. What is

zysi [14]

Answer:

$q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

Explanation:

The charge on one object, $q_1=9.9\times 10^{-5}\ C$

The distance between the charges, r = 0.22 m

The force between the charges, F = 4,550 N

Let q₂ is the charge on the other sphere. The electrostatic force between two charges is given by the formula as follows :

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{Fr^2}{kq_1}\\\\q_2=\dfrac{4550\times (0.22) ^2}{9\times 10^9\times 9.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\q_2=2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$

So, the charge on the other sphere is $2.47\times 10^{-4}\ C$ .

Light from two lasers is incident on an opaque barrier with a single slit of width 4.0 x 10^-4 m. One laser emits light of wavel

Sergio [31]

Answer:

a) y = 2.4 x 10⁻³ m = 0.24 cm

b) y = 3.2 x 10⁻³ m = 0.32 cm

Explanation:

The formula of Young's Double Slit experiment will be used here:

$y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}\\\\$

where,

y = distance between dark spots = ?

λ = wavelength

L = distance of screen = 2 m

d = slit width = 4 x 10⁻⁴ m

a) FOR λ = 480 nm = 4.8 x 10⁻⁷ m:

$y = \frac{(4.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}$

<u></u>

a) FOR λ = 640 nm = 6.4 x 10⁻⁷ m:

$y = \frac{(6.4\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{4\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}$

If 2.0×10^−4 C of charge passes a point in 2.0×10^−6 s , what is the rate of current flow?1.0×10^−10 A1.0×10^2 A4.0×10^−1 A4.0×1

Ipatiy [6.2K]

This problem is about the rate of the current. It's important to know that refers to the quotient between the electric charge and the time, that's the current rate.

$I=\frac{Q}{t}$

Where Q = 2.0×10^−4 C and t = 2.0×10^−6 s. Let's use these values to find I.

$\begin{gathered} I=\frac{2.0\times10^{-4}C}{2.0\times10^{-6}\sec } \\ I=1.0\times10^{-4-(-6)}A \\ I=1.0\times10^{-4+6}A \\ I=1.0\times10^2A \end{gathered}$

<em>As you can observe above, the division of the powers was solved by just subtracting their exponents.</em>

<em />

<h2>Therefore, the rate of the current flow is 1.0×10^2 A.</h2>
