When the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them?

Physics
1 answer:
Llana [10]3 years ago
3 0
If the distance between two charges is halved, the electrical force between them increases by a factor 4.

In fact, the magnitude of the electric force between two charges is given by:
F= k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}
where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q1 and q2 are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges

We see that the magnitude of the force F is inversely proportional to the square of the distance r. Therefore, if the radius is halved:
r'= \frac{r}{2}
the magnitude of the force changes as follows:
F'=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r'^2}=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{( \frac{r}{2})^2 }=k \frac{q_1 q_2}{ \frac{r^2}{4} } =4k  \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}=4 F
so, the force increases by a factor 4.

Who performed classic experiments that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication?
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Meselson and Stahl

<u>Explanation:</u>

<u></u>

The classic experiment that supported the semiconservative model of dna replication was performed by Matthew Meselson and Franklin W. Stahl. In this model, the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each acts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. This results in two DNA molecules with one original strand and one new strand. They used E. coli bacteria as a model system.

5. A hollow cylinder of mass m, radius Rc, and moment of inertia I = mRc2 is pushed against a spring (with spring constant k) co
Makovka662 [10]

Explanation:

(a) Draw a free body diagram of the cylinder at the top of the loop.  At the minimum speed, the normal force is 0, so the only force is weight pulling down.

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg = mv²/RL

v = √(g RL)

(b) Energy is conserved.

EE = KE + RE + PE

½ kd² = ½ mv² + ½ Iω² + mgh

kd² = mv² + Iω² + 2mgh

kd² = mv² + (m RC²) ω² + 2mg (2 RL)

kd² = mv² + m RC²ω² + 4mg RL

kd² = mv² + mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2mv² + 4mg RL

kd² = 2m (v² + 2g RL)

d² = 2m (v² + 2g RL) / k

d = √[2m (v² + 2g RL) / k]

A lens collects light and focuses it into a small spot. This increases the ________ of the light wave.A lens collects light and
Anika [276]

Answer:

intensity.

Explanation:

when the light collected by the lens is focused into a small spot it tends to increase the intensity of the light.

as different path of light with different intensity combines from passing through the lens it tends to make the light path and intensity coherent and after being coherent there intensity increases.

an op amp in unity gain configuration (buffer) with slew rate of 5v/us is used to amplify a sinusoidal signal with a frequency o
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

The maximum amplitude (V_{max}) will be 7.96 V.

Explanation:

We know, for distortion free operation, the slew rate (S) of an OPAMP is written as

S = 2 \pi f V_{max}

where 'f' is the highest frequency signal.

Therefore, from the above equation we can write,

&&5 \frac{V}{\mu s} = 2 \pi 100 kHz \times V_{max}\\&or,& V_{max} = \frac{5V}{10^{-6} s \times 2 \pi 100 \times 10^{3} Hz}\\&or,& V_{max} = \frac{5}{2 \pi \times 10^{-1}} V = 7.96 V

What is entropy need help ASAP pz
natulia [17]
Entropy is an extensive property of a thermodynamic system. It quantifies the number Ω of microscopic configurations (known as microstates) that are consistent with the macroscopic quantities that characterize the system (such as its volume, pressure and temperature).[1] Under the assumption that each microstate is equally probable, the entropy

S is the natural logarithm of the number of microstates, multiplied by the Boltzmann constant
