At which point on this electric field will a test charge show the maximum strength?

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The figure shows the electric field produced by a spherical charge distribution - this is a radial field, whose strength decreases as the inverse of the square of the distance from the centre of the charge:

E\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

More precisely, the strength of the field at a distance r from the centre of the sphere is

E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}

where k is the Coulomb's constant and Q is the charge on the sphere.

From the equation, we see that the field strength decreases as we move away from the sphere: therefore, the strength is maximum for the point closest to the sphere, which is point A.

This can also be seen from the density of field lines: in fact, the closer the field lines, the stronger the field. Point A is the point where the lines have highest density, therefore it is also the point where the field is strongest.

A parallel-plate, air-gap capacitor has a capacitance of 0.14 mu F. The plates are 0.5 mm apart, What is the area of each plate?
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

7.9060 m²

8.57 Volts

5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule

1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb

Explanation:

C = Capacitance between plates = 0.14 μF = 0.14×10⁻⁶ F

d = Distance between plates = 0.5 mm = 0.5×10⁻³ m

Q = Charge = 1.2 μC = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C

ε₀ = Permittivity = 8.854×10⁻¹² F/m

Capacitance

C=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A}{d}\\\Rightarrow A=\frac{Cd}{\epsilon_{0}}\\\Rightarrow A=\frac{0.14\times 10^{-6}\times 0.5\times 10^{-3}}{8.854\times 10^{-12}}\\\Rightarrow A=7.9060\ m^2

∴ Area of each plate is 7.9060 m²

Voltage

V=\frac{Q}{C}\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{1.2\times 10^{-6}}{0.14\times 10^{-6}}\\\Rightarrow V=8.57\ Volts

∴ Potential difference between the plates if the capacitor is charged to 1.2 μC  is 8.57 Volts.

Energy stored

E=0.5CV²

⇒E = 0.5×0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57²

⇒E = 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule

∴ Stored energy is 5.142×10⁻⁶ Joule

Charge

Q = CV

⇒Q = 0.14×10⁻⁶×8.57

⇒Q = 1.2×10⁻⁶ C

∴ Charge the capacitor carries before a spark occurs between the two plates is 1.2×10⁻⁶ Coulomb

1. explain why mid-sized cars and SUVs have different rollover fatality rates.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1.  They generally have poorer fuel efficiency and require more resources to manufacture than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to climate change and environmental degradation. Their higher center of gravity increases their risk of rollovers.

2. Mid-sized cars and SUVs both have a fixed object fatality rate of 2.6/BVM. This is most likely because they have a similar mass and inertia. The force of the crash is likely to have about the same deceleration in both vehicles.

provides one model for solving this problem. The maximum strength of the earth's magnetic field is about 6.9 x 10-5 T near the s
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The minimum no. of turns is 3.126 \times 10^{5}

Explanation:

Given:

Magnetic field B = 6.9 \times 10^{-5} T

Frequency f = 84.5 Hz

Area of turn A = 0.021 m^{2}

Voltage V_{rms}  = 170 V

From the formula of induced emf,

V = NBA \omega

Where \omega = 2\pi f and V = \sqrt{2} V_{rms}

So number of turn is,

N = \frac{\sqrt{2} V_{rms} }{AB2\pi f }

N = \frac{\sqrt{2} \times 170 }{0.021 \times 6.9 \times 10^{-5} \times 6.28 \times 84.5 }

N = 3.126 \times 10^{5}

Therefore, the minimum no. of turns is 3.126 \times 10^{5}
