Heat engines are less than 100% efficient because absolute zero cannot be reached
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case,
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2 r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2 kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 = 1/4
No i took the test and the answer is actually homogenous mixture
