Answer:

q = Q/2

option c is correct

Explanation:

given data

charge = Q

distance r = 1 m

charge = q

to find out

what should q be

solution

we have given charge q is remove so

q1 = Q-q

q2 = q

we know by coulombs law force

force = kq1q2 / r²   .............1

put here value and we know k is constant

F = k (Q-q) q / 1

now take derivative charge q and put = 0

dF/dq = k d(Q-q)q / dq

so  k (Q-q)q =0

Q = 2q

q = Q/2

so option c is correct

The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is
astraxan [27]

Complete question:

Point charges q1=- 4.10nC and q2=+ 4.10nC are separated by a distance of 3.60mm , forming an electric dipole. The charges are in a uniform electric field whose direction makes an angle 36.8 ∘ with the line connecting the charges. What is the magnitude of this field if the torque exerted on the dipole has magnitude 7.30×10−9 N⋅m ? Express your answer in newtons per coulomb to three significant figures.

Answer:

The magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

Explanation:

Given;

The torque exerted on the dipole, T = 7.3 x 10⁻⁹ N.m

PEsinθ = T

where;

E is the magnitude of the electric field

P is the dipole moment

First, we determine the magnitude dipole moment;

Magnitude of dipole moment = q*r

P = 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ x 3.6 x 10⁻³ = 1.476 x 10⁻¹¹ C.m

Finally, we determine the magnitude of this field;

E = \frac{T}{P*sin(\theta)}=  \frac{7.3 X 10^{-9}}{1.476X10^{-11}*sin(36.8)}\\\\E = 825.6 N/C

E = 826 N/C (in three significant figures)

Therefore, the magnitude of this field is 826 N/C

How heavy is an object that displaces 400N of water in a pool?
julia-pushkina [17]
All we can say is that the object's volume is about 41 liters. That's the same as the volume of water displaced.

We can't say anything about the object's weight. There is no direct connection between the weight of the object and the weight of the water it displaces.

When a magnetic field is first turned on, the flux through a 20-turn loop varies with time according to Φm=5.0t2−2.0t, where Φm
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

A) ( - 200t + 40 ) volts

B)  b) anticlockwise ,  c) anticlockwise , d) clockwise ,  e) clockwise

Explanation:

Given data:

magnetic flux (Φm) = 5.0t^2 − 2.0t

number of turns = 20

<u>a) determine induced emf </u>

E = - N \frac{d\beta }{dt}

  =  - N ( 10t - 2 ) = - 20 ( 10t - 2 )

  =  - 200t + 40  volts

<u>b) Determine direction of induced current </u>

i) at t = 0

 E = - 0 + 40  ( anticlockwise direction )

ii) at t = 0.10

E = -20 + 40 =  20 ( anticlockwise direction )

iii) at t = 1

E = - 200 + 40 = - 160 ( clockwise direction)

iv) at t = 2

E = -400 + 40 =  - 360 ( clockwise direction )

A free positive charge released in an electric field will:
choli [55]

Answer:

accelerate in the direction in which the electric field is pointing.

Explanation:

The positive charge feels a force in the same direction as the electric field

F=Eq  

F and E are vectors, q is a scalar

(if it were a negative charge the force would be in the opposite direction)

that force will produce an acceleration in the same direction, that acceleration will cause the particle to move in the same direction, ie the direction of the electric field.
