-Hello There-

This Is A Great Question That You Asked!

Lightning Is Caused When The Upper Clouds Have A Positive Charge And The Lower Clouds Have A Negative Charge. So When The Negative Charge And Positive Charge Meet That Means Lightning Happens Also When This Happens, The Air Separates Into Ions And Electrons.

Have A Great Day!

OlgaM077 [116]
The IRB at the university will decide whether her study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The importance of these codes of conduct is to safeguard research participants, the status of psychology and the researchers or psychologists themselves. Moral issues hardly yield a simple, unequivocal, right or wrong answer. It is consequently often a matter of judgment whether the research is justified or not. For instance, it might be that a study roots psychological or physical uneasiness to participants, maybe they agonize pain or maybe even come to solemn harm.

Two protons are maintained at a separation of nm. Calculate the electric potential due to the two particles at the midpoint betw
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The electric potential is approximately 5.8 V

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero

Explanation:

The two protons can be considered as point charges. Therefore, the electric potential is given by the point charge potential:

\displaystyle{U=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}} (1)

where q is the charge of the particle, \epsilon_0 the electric permittivity of the vacuum (I assuming the two protons are in a vacuum) and r is the distance from the point charge to the point where the potential is being measured. Because the electric potential is an scalar, we can simply add the contribution of the two potentials in the midpoint between the protons. Thus:

\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}+\frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon_0r}}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}}

Substituting the values q=1.602 \cdot10^{-19}\ C, \displaystyle{\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}=8.99\cdot 10^9 N\cdot m^2\cdot C^{-2}} and r=0.5 \cdot 10^{-9} m we obtain:

\displaystyle{U_{midpoint}=\frac{q}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}}=5.759 \approx 5.8 V}

The resulting direction of the electric field will lie on the line that joins the charges but since it is calculated in the midpoint and the charges are the same we can directly say that its magnitude is zero.
