Answer:

d) F

Explanation:

According to columb's law:

"The magnitude of electrostatic force between two charges is directly proportional to the product of magnitude of two charges and inversly proportional to separation between them."

If q₁ and q₂ are magnitude of two charges, d is distance between them and k is dielectric constant, then force F is given by

                                               

                                              F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{d^2}

According to this force exerted on point charge Q is same as that of 3Q, so force point 3Q charge experience is also F

Three positive charges A, B, and C, and a negative charge D are placed in a line as shown in the diagram. All four charges are o
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

a. charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

b. ratio=9

Explanation:

<u>Electrostatic Force</u>

Two point-charges q_1 and q_2 separated a distance d will exert a force on each other of a magnitude given by the Coulomb's formula

\displaystyle F=\frac{k\ q_1\ q_2}{r^2}

Where k is the proportional constant of value

k=9*10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

The diagram provided in the question shows four identical charges (let's assume their value is Q) separated by identical distance (of value d). The force between the charges next to others is

\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q\ Q}{d^2}

\displaystyle F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}

The force between charges separated 2d is

\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(2d)^2}

\displaystyle F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}

And the force between the charges A and D is

\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{(3d)^2}

\displaystyle F_3=\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}

Now, let's analyze each charge and the force applied to them by the others

Let's recall equally signed charges repel each other and differently signed charges attrach each other

Charge A. It receives force to the left from B and C and to the right from D

\displaystyle F_A=-F_1-F_2+F_3=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}

\displaystyle F_A=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}(-1-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{9})

\displaystyle F_A=-\frac{41}{36}F_1

Charge B. It receives force to the right from A and D and to the left from C

\displaystyle F_B=F_1-F_1+F_2=\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}

\displaystyle F_B=\frac{1}{4}F_1

Charge C. It receives forces to the right from all charges.

\displaystyle F_C=F_2+F_1+F_1=\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}

\displaystyle F_C=\frac{9}{4}F_1

Charge D. It receives forces to the left from all charges

\displaystyle F_D=-F_3-F_2-F_1=-\frac{k\ Q^2}{9d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{4d^2}-\frac{k\ Q^2}{d^2}

\displaystyle F_D=-\frac{49}{36}F_1

Comparing the magnitudes of each force is just a matter of computing the fractions

\displaystyle \frac{41}{36}=1.13,\ \frac{1}{4}=0.25,\ \frac{9}{4}=2.25,\ \frac{49}{36}=1.36

a.

We can see the charge C experiences the greatest net force, and charge B receives the smallest net force

b.

The ratio of the greatest to the smallest net force is

\displaystyle \frac{\frac{9}{4}}{\frac{1}{4}}=9

The greatest force is 9 times the smallest net force

An AC adapter for a telephone answering machine uses a transformer to reduce the line voltage of 120 V to a voltage of 5.00 V. T
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

35

Explanation:

We are given that

Initial voltage,V_1=120 V

Final voltage, V_2=5 V

Number of tuns in primary coil of the transformer, N_p=840

Rms current, I_{rms}=580mA=580\times 10^{-3} A

1 mA=10^{-3} A

We have to find the number of turns  are there on the secondary coil.

We know that

\frac{N_s}{N_p}=\frac{V_2}{V_1}

Using the formula

\frac{N_s}{840}=\frac{5}{120}

N_s=\frac{5}{120}\times 840=35

Hence, there are  number of turns on the secondary coil=35
