Answer:

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C, but the direction is still to the right.

Explanation:

From coulomb's law, F = Eq

Thus,

F = E₁q₁

F = E₂q₂

Then

E₂q₂ = E₁q₁

E_2 = \frac{E_1q_1}{q_2}

where;

E₂ is the external electric field due to second test charge = ?

E₁ is the external electric field due to first test charge = 4 x 10⁶ N/C

q₁ is the first test charge = 13 mC

q₂ is the second test charge = 23 mC

Substitute in these values in the equation above and calculate E₂.

E_2 = \frac{4*10^6*13}{23} = 2.26 *10^6 \ N/C

The magnitude of the external electric field at P will reduce to 2.26 x 10⁶ N/C when 13 mC test charge is replaced with another test charge of 23 mC.

However, the direction of the external field is still to the right.

If the half-life of tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years, how much of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.0000076 grams

Explanation:

We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:

Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.

n =  \frac{250}{12.3}  = 20.325

Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.

So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g

So now we can devise a formula:

m =  \frac{original \: amount}{ {2}^{n} }

Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.

Using this formula we can calculate:

m =  \frac{10}{ {2}^{20.325} }

Doing this calculation we get:

m = 0.0000076 \: g

As we can see a very small value remains.

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vecto
kupik [55]

Answer: rp/re= me/mp= 544 * 10^-6.

Explanation: To calculate this problem we have to consider the circular movement by the electron and proton inside a magnetic field.

Then the dynamic equation for the circular movement is given by:

Fcentripetal= m*ω^2.r

q*v*B=m*ω^2.r

we write this for each particle then we have the following:

q*v*B=me* ω^2*re

q*v*B=mp* ω^2*rp

rp/re=me/mp=9.1*10^-31/1.67*10^-27=544*10^-6
