Answer:

\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}

Explanation:

The equation for kappa ( κ) is

\kappa = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}

we can find the maximum of kappa for a given value of b using derivation.

As b is fixed, we can use kappa as a function of a

\kappa (a) = \frac{a}{a^2 + b^2}

Now, the conditions to find a maximum at a_0 are:

\frac{d \kappa(a)}{da} \left | _{a=a_0} = 0

\frac{d^2\kappa(a)}{da^2}  \left | _{a=a_0} < 0

Taking the first derivative:

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{d}{da}  (\frac{a}{a^2 + b^2})

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} \frac{d}{da}(a)+ a * \frac{d}{da}  (\frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} )

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 + a * (-1)  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) \frac{d}{da}  (a^2+b^2)

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 - a  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ) (2* a)

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{a^2 + b^2} * 1 -  2 a^2  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{a^2+b^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}  -  2 a^2  (\frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} (a^2+b^2 -  2 a^2)

\frac{d}{da} \kappa = \frac{b^2 -  a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}

This clearly will be zero when

a^2 = b^2

as both are greater (or equal) than zero, this implies

a=b

The second derivative is

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{d}{da} (\frac{b^2 -  a^2}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} )

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} \frac{d}{da} ( b^2 -  a^2 ) + (b^2 -  a^2) \frac{d}{da} ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2}  )

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} ( -2  a ) + (b^2 -  a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3}  ) (2a)

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{-2  a}{(a^2 + b^2)^2} + (b^2 -  a^2) (-2) ( \frac{1}{(a^2 + b^2)^3}  ) (2a)

We dcan skip solving the equation noting that, if a=b, then

b^2 -  a^2 = 0

at this point, this give us only the first term

\frac{d^2}{da^2} \kappa = \frac{- 2  a}{(a^2 + a^2)^2}

if a is greater than zero, this means that the second derivative is negative, and the point is a minimum

the value of kappa is

\kappa = \frac{b}{b^2 + b^2}

\kappa = \frac{b}{2* b^2}

\kappa = \frac{1}{2 b}

El valor más preciso de la masa de un electron es 9.11*10^-11kg ¿ Cuánto aumentaría la masa de un cuerpo que se carga con -1 c d
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

m = 569.375\times 10^{6}\,kg

Explanation:

Un electrón tiene una carga negativa de 1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C y la masa total es igual al producto del número de electrones y esa carga unitaria. El número de electrones se obtiene al dividir la carga total por la carga unitaria. (An electron has a negative charge of 1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C and the total mass is equal to the product of the qunatity of electrons and such unit charge. The quantity of electrons is found by diving the total charge by the unit charge):

m = \frac{Q}{q} \cdot m_{e}

m = \left(\frac{1\,C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C} \right)\cdot (9.11\times 10^{-11}\,kg)

m = 569.375\times 10^{6}\,kg

the electrostatic force between two objects is 40N. if the charge of one object is cut in half, and the distance is doubled, wha
n200080 [17]

Answer:

F1 = K Q1 Q2 / R1^2

F2 = K Q1 / 2 * Q2 / (2 R1)^2

F2 / F1 = 1/2 / 4 = 1/8

The new force is 5N   (1/2 due to charge and 1/4 due to distance)
