What is the purpose of a circuit breaker?

It’s designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, usually resulting from an overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to interrupt current flow after a fault is detected.

That’s really just the basic purpose.

Find the magnitude of the electric field due to a charged ring of radius "a" and total charge "Q", at a point on the ring axis a
34kurt

Answer:

E=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}

Explanation:

We are given that

Charge on ring= Q

Radius of ring=a

We have to find the magnitude of electric filed on the axis at distance a from the ring's center.

We know that the electric field at distance x from the center of ring of radius R is given by

E=\frac{kQx}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Substitute x=a and R=a

Then, we get

E=\frac{KQa}{(a^2+a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

E=\frac{KQa}{(2a^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}

E=\frac{KQa}{2\sqrt 2a^3}

E=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}

Where K=9\times 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

Hence, the magnitude of the electric filed due to charged ring on the axis of ring at distance a from the ring's center=\frac{KQ}{2\sqrt 2a^2}

The kinetic friction force between a 60.0-kg object and a horizontal surface is 50.0 N. If the initial speed of the object is 25
Vikki [24]

Answer:

375 m.

Explanation:

From the question,

Work done by the frictional force = Kinetic energy of the object

F×d = 1/2m(v²-u²)..................... Equation 1

Where F = Force of friction, d = distance it slide before coming to rest, m = mass of the object, u = initial speed of the object, v = final speed of the object.

Make d the subject of the equation.

d = 1/2m(v²-u²)/F.................. Equation 2

Given: m = 60.0 kg, v = 0 m/s(coming to rest), u = 25 m/s, F = -50 N.

Note: If is negative because it tends to oppose the motion of the object.

Substitute into equation 2

d = 1/2(60)(0²-25²)/-50

d = 30(-625)/-50

d = -18750/-50

d = 375 m.

Hence the it will slide before coming to rest = 375 m
