Elementary charge used to determine charges of other objects is equal to a charge of electron or proton. It's value is roughly 1.6* 10^{-19} C. All other charges are whole-number multipliers of this elementary charge, meaning that we multiply elementary charge by {...,-2,-1,0,1,2,...}.

To find out if the measured charge can be accepted we need to divide it with elementary charge to see if we get whole number as result.
There are three possible values of measured charge: 8.7* 10^{-19} C\\ 8.8* 10^{-19} C \\ 8.9* 10^{-19} C

N_{1} = \frac{8.7* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.44 \\ N_{2} = \frac{8.8* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.5 \\ N_{3} = \frac{8.9* 10^{-19} C }{1.6* 10^{-19} C } =5.56

As we can see none of the possible values of a measured charge is whole-number multiplier of elementary charge so the researcher should not accept the value.
This charge can be achieved by using quarks which have value of 1/3 of elementary charge but they do not remain stable for long enough.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

5.3\times 10^3 N/C

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance between plates=d=2.2 cm=2.2\times 10^{-2} m

1 cm=10^{-2} m

\sigma=47nC/m^2=47\times 10^{-9}C/m^2

Using 1 nC=10^{-9} C

We have to find the magnitude of E in the region between the plates.

We know that the electric field for parallel plates

E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

E_1=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

E_2=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}

E=E_1+E_2

E=\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}+\frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}

Where \epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}C^2/Nm^2

Substitute the values

E=\frac{47\times 10^{-9}}{8.85\times 10^{-12}}

E=5.3\times 10^3 N/C

Hence, the magnitude of E in the region between the plates=5.3\times 10^3 N/C

kvv77 [185]

Answer: plane speed is 94.87m/s

Explanation: since the plane move upward in a semicircular path, the acceleration is a centripetal acceleration with radius of 500metre. But the Centripetal acceleration is given as

Centripetal acceleration

= Speed ²/radius

Making speed subject of formula we have,

Speed² = centripetal acceleration*radius

Speed² = 18*500

=9000

Speed =√9000

= 94.87m/s

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has<br><br> ? protons.
Valentin [98]

Answer:

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

Explanation:

In an alpha particle there are two protons

In the given substance's nucleus, there are total of 85 protons

After the decay, the proton number reduce

The current proton number after decay is

85 -2 = 83

After a nucleus with 85 protons undergoes alpha decay, it has  83 protons.

A circular rod has a radius of curvature R = 9.09 cm and a uniformly distributed positive charge Q = 6.49 pC and subtends an ang
Digiron [165]

Answer:

E = 1.19 N/C

Explanation:

Let's first determine the length of the arc which can be given as:

L= Rθ

where:

L = length of the arc

R = radius of curvature

θ = angle in radius

L = (9.09×10⁻²m)(2.59)

L = (0.0909)(2.59)

L = 0.235431 m

Then, the magnitude of electric field that Q produces at the center of curvature can be calculated by using the formula:

E= \frac{\lambda}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}-sin(-\frac{\theta}{2})]

E= \frac{\lambda}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}+sin(\frac{\theta}{2})]

E= \frac{2\lambda}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}]

Since \lambda = \frac{Q}{L}

where;

L = length

Q = charge

λ =  density of the charge;

then substituting \frac{Q}{L} for λ, we have :

E= \frac{2(\frac{Q}{L})}{4 \pi E_oR}[sin\frac{\theta}{2}]

E= \frac{2Q[sin\frac{\theta}{2}]}{4 \pi E_oLR}

substituting our given parameter; we have:

E= \frac{2(6.26*10^{-12}C)[sin\frac{2.59rad}{2}]}{4 \pi (8.85*10^{-12}C^2/N.m^2)(0.235431)(0.0909)}

E = 1.1889 N/C

E = 1.19 N/C

∴ the magnitude of the electric field that Q produces at the center of curvature = 1.19 N/C

When this current is closed which way does the current flow
Anastaziya [24]
Well, Godess, that's not a simple question, and it doesn't have
a simple answer.

When the switch is closed . . .

"Conventional current" flows out of the ' + ' of the battery, through R₁ ,
then through R₂ , then through R₃ .  It piles up on the right-hand side of
the capacitor (C).  It repels the ' + ' charges on the left side of 'C', and
those flow into the ' - ' side of the battery.  So the flow of current through
this series circuit is completely clockwise, around toward the right. 

That's the way the first experimenters pictured it, that's the way we still
handle it on paper, and that's the way our ammeters display it.

BUT . . .

About 100 years after we thought that we completely understand electricity,
we discovered that the little tiny things that really move through a wire, and
really carry the electric charge, are the electrons, and they carry NEGATIVE
charge.  This turned our whole picture upside down.

But we never changed the picture !  We still do all of our work in terms of
'conventional current'.  But the PHYSICAL current ... the actual motion of
charge in the wire ... is all exactly the other way around.

In your drawing ... When the switch is closed, electrons flow out of the 
' - ' terminal on the bottom of the battery, and pile up on the left plate of
the 'C'.  They repel electrons off of the right-side of 'C', and those then
flow through R₃ , then through R₂ , then through R₁ , and finally into the
' + ' terminal on top of the battery.

Those are the directions of 'conventional' current and 'physical' current
in all circuits.

In the circuit of YOUR picture that you attached, there's more to the story:

Battery current can't flow through a capacitor.  Current flows only until
charges are piled up on the two sides of 'C' facing each other, and then
it stops.

Wait a few seconds after you close the switch in the picture, and there is
no longer any current in the loop.

To be very specific and technical about it . . .

-- The instant you close the switch, the current is

       (battery voltage) / (R₁ + R₂ + R₃)        amperes

but it immediately starts to decrease.

--  Every  (C)/((R₁ + R₂ + R₃)  seconds after that, the current is

                  e⁻¹  =  about  36.8 %

less than it was that same amount of time ago.

Now, are you glad you asked ?
