Two conducting spheres of different sizes are at the same potential. The radius of the larger sphere is four times larger than t

hat of the smaller sphere. If a total charge Q is placed on this system, what fraction of Q sits on the larger sphere?(Give your answer as a decimal. For example, if the answer is 1/3 then input 0.333.)

Answer:

0.8

Explanation:

The two spheres have the same potential, V.

Let the radius of the larger sphere be R and the radius of the smaller sphere be r,

=> R = 4r

Let the charge on the smaller sphere be q. Hence, the larger sphere will have charge Q - q.

The potential of the smaller sphere will be:

V_S = \frac{kq}{r}

The potential of the larger sphere will be:

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{R}

Inputting R = 4r,

V_L = \frac{k(Q - q)}{4r}

Since V_S = V_L = V,

\frac{k(Q - q)}{4r} = \frac{kq}{r}

=> Q - q = 4q

=> 5q = Q

q = 0.2Q

The fraction of the charge Q that rests on the smaller sphere is 0.2

The charge of the larger sphere is:

Q - q = Q - 0.2Q = 0.8Q

∴ The fraction of the total charge Q that rests on the larger sphere is 0.8

Explain why a black and white aeronautical map would be difficult to use
Aneli [31]

Aeronautical maps are usually meant to be used by pilots and air aviation professionals in other to navigate or traverse though the sky. With various elements such as vegetation, hills, valleys being depicted by color coded keys or legend. Hence, the absence of color on an aeronautical map make the <em>representation of elements very difficult</em>.

Visual map interpretation is usually aided by the use of legends. The legend hold the key to the elements which are represented on the map. Usually, a combination of colors and shapes makes up the legend and makes map interpretation easy.

Therefore, the absence of various color palletes for representation on a black and white aeronautical map will make it difficult to use.
