The potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of a square is 3.0 V when a point charge of +Q is located at one of the cor

ners of the square. What is the potential (relative to infinity) at the center when each of the other corners also contains a point charge of +Q?
a) 0 V
b) 3.0 V
c) 9.0 V
d) 12 V

Answer:

d) 12 V

Explanation:

Due to the symmetry of the problem, the potential (relative to infinity) at the midpoint of the square, is the same for all charges, provided they be of the same magnitude and sign, and be located at one of the corners of the square.

We can apply the superposition principle (as the potential is linear with the charge) and calculating the total potential due to the 4 charges, just adding the potential due to any of  them:

V = V(Q₁) + V(Q₂) +V(Q₃) + V(Q₄) = 4* 3.0 V = 12. 0 V

IM SO CONFUSED HELP! What makes the light react the way it does? (Other than the fact that it’s shining on different things)

Q1- the speed will increase because the particles will have more energy which causes them to move faster
trasher [3.6K]
<h3># Question </h3>

Q1- the speed will increase because the particles will have more energy which causes them to move faster

Explanation:

<h3>With an increase in temperature, the particles gain kinetic energy and move faster. The actual average speed of the particles depends on their mass as well as the temperature – heavier particles move more slowly than lighter ones at the same temperature. </h3>
